Man Utd v Liverpool 1979/80 Division One

Highlights of the 1979/80 clash between Manchester United and Liverpool from Old Trafford.

[@anthonywalsh7613]

No diving. No pulling shirts. Good football

[@Eddiedoherty22]

Agreed.

[@TheUTubeTeamSucks]

Remember writing this score line in with glee in my Figurini Panini Football 79-80 sticker album :)

[@holycrossplymouth]

I was there!

[@kennztube]

Oh Jimmy what a player. i think we finished two points behind the dirties that year.

[@fifalegend6298]

Man Utd are the dirty club lol. Liverpool played great football back then and were consistent winners unlike Man Utd until the mid 90s

[@baljitd3729]

Unbelievable, Dalglish missed from 2 yards, he must've been relieved to be flagged offside!

[@MisAnnThorpe]

He was probably in a state of shock that Hansen could be so unselfish as to pass from there!

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

If Hansen had belted it in, goal would have stood.

[@Zep713100]

Yeah! Jimmy Greenhoff!!! My favorite player Jimmy Greenhoff joined ManUnited from Stoke 1976! Since then it is one and only MANCHESTER UNITED!!! :) What a fantastic football player!

[@JohnJohn-zn8ib]

This is better than today’s.

[@Eddiedoherty22]

Some tackles flying in. Players just got on with it. Unreal.

[@diptastik5651]

Ah! A football match . I remember them .

[@FernandoNINETorres]

Can we take a moment to stop chatting shit about misses and admire Alan Hansons wonderful piece of skill to take it past the whole of the United Team. If he had simply shot, it would of stood

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Great minds think alike!

[@3chords490]

Yes , if he had scored then it would have been one of the truly great goals. What was amazing was that after such a piece of genius he didn’t have the presence of mind to realise that Dalglish would be off side.

[@MrLawman10]

jimmy greenhoff was pure class

[@jamesmcgrath1342]

hahah what sort of an offside trap was that from united?? fantastic video mate

I remember this game. Look at the state of the pitch.

[@masstransit2]

That surridge ball was class. Used to buy two heavy plastic replicas at a time from Woolies in case one popped or got lost. Best ball ever, narrowly beating the 78 World Cup Tango

[@gabmod65]

Like it used to be..brilliant and right result..MUFC forever!

[@fifalegend6298]

Lol who won the league that season? Liverpool did

@psafloyd Lovely, something always heart warming to see pictch like that.

[@SuperVida15]

No Jimmy never did he was widely regarded as the best uncapped player of the 1970s

[@CrueLoaf]

What a goal if Hansen had shot and scored.

[@tonyrowe4701]

loved the way Martin Buchan used to marshal the offside trap ... "Out Reds !!" we used to cry .... and it usually worked !!

[@meisterlymanu5214]

Lliverpool always had a miserable time against Utd for decades from the late 70s. In the 90s it got even worse. It has only been recently post fergie that liverpool have started to get some decent results at Anfield.

[@fifalegend6298]

That is not true at all lmao Liverpool have beaten Man Utd plenty of times at old trafford

[@fifalegend6298]

And Anfield

[@meisterlymanu5214]

@@fifalegend6298 only recently. they didnt win a single match at OT in the 80s. utd dominated liverpool.

[@fifalegend6298]

@@meisterlymanu5214 They won in the 1989-90 season at old trafford so that obviously isn't true. Man Utd did nothing in the 80s. Playing Liverpool was their cup final bur for Liverpool it was another game. That's the reason. You didn't dominate anything

[@fifalegend6298]

@@meisterlymanu5214 Recently? They beat Man Utd in 2009, 2014 and twice in 2021 at old trafford. All 4 big victories. They also dominated you in the early 2000s with a couple of wins at old trafford when you were at your best

@764dak Thanks

[@melsmall6200]

Great day watching a great team,just look at Jimmy walking of the pitch absolutely sweating his nuts of for the shirt,no chance of seeing that in today's game.🤔

[@alex49200]

They've not thought that offside trap through.

[@wag1kids815]

Why didn't Hanson just bang it in? The goal then would have stood. What weird defending from Utd, it's like they switched to Rugby

[@WELLBRAN]

Rush out ..offside trap was common then

[@peterb6254]

Atmosphere.

[@thelaw1984]

What on earth happened at 1:16 , Crazy, you would never get that in football now days.

[@djdrwatson]

01:14 I'm fairly sure Alan Hansen wasn't offside. The ball was in the Liverpool half when he played it (to himself). All the other players were running out from an offside position. They were not active and didn't interfere with play. 01:50 Kenny Dalglish was level with Alan Hansen when the ball was passed to him. It was an *horrendous* miss! The linesman must've flagged it as being offside to save Dalglish's embarrassment.

[@sallumusa]

the offside rule was different those days. it dint matter if a player was interfering or not. even if a player was on the ground out injured he would have been ruled off side if he was in an offside position.

[@scherben8870]

The ref could use his discretion and decide that offside players were non-interfering and not apply the rule.

[@carlito571]

Offside or not...it does show the ' so called' modern ball playing centre back.Is nothing new,class touch that from Hansen.We don't play eachother with passion like that,these days and haven't for years.Miss it badly,those shirts,those players,those pens ffs😂😂.Pies and coins bouncing off our heads from the k.Never again lads...we were born at the right time ✊

[@ericcantona99]

That offside trap. :D

[@aleebee4989]

Saturday April 5th 1980.

[@Liam2621]

@Beatdown2k8 thanks buddy, i dont think ste got the joke.

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

Dalglish wasn't ahead of Hansen, so he wasn't offside. As for the move before, well it's the old Leeds - West Brom argument again. As with that game, no pass was made, so no one could've been offside in my view. I'm sure others will tell me I'm wrong but I'm not getting into that old debate again.

[@suomisoturi551]

@forestgrump1970 Back pass rule was brought to football after 1990 World Cup in Italy.

[@gunninlinguist]

Hate to say it, but this game wouldn't look out of place in the conference league now...footballs really moved on. Mind you they would probably have looked back at football in the 50s in the same way. I wonder if people in 40 years time will look back on football now like that and I wonder how it'll evolve in future from playing style and ability/tactics/pitch & ball design/rule adjustments etc....interesting...

[@lam8765]

1st dislike from Torres 2nd dislike from Daglish

[@JX2N]

Like Yanagisawa

[@bezerker5051]

"Conference League" standard? you say. A touch harsh, possibly. And I wonder how a player of today would cope on those heavy pitches and with footballs that weighed about the same as a bowling ball? Wouldn't last 45 minutes, I suspect. Bring back the mud, I say. Bring back the wet leather, and dispense with the balloons of today. Bring back the terraces. Bring back sponsorless shirts. Yes, bring it all back, and Liverpool-kiss all these modern-day ballerinas.

[@DaaimM]

Talk about a high line

[@AzherAlAzzawi]

@lam8765 yeah

[@YouTubemessedupmyhandle]

Can I just say that little chip through by Hansen to play in Hansen is an absolute joy - some players see three moves ahead. Shame he fucked it up!

[@fifalegend6298]

Still the best British cb ever

[@caleb2003]

what the hell was that defending at 1:37?

[@roderickscott7429]

Dalglish rightly off side receiving a forward pass , Hansen could only have scored for goal to stand .which asks the question when Tony Brown was clean through v Leeds in 70/71 was it not also a forward pass onto Jeff Astle to score an off side goal ?

[@danpreston564]

roderick scott you can’t be offside if you are behind the player passing the ball. It’s not all about the ball going forward.

[@84WAKEUP]

i think they were running knowing he would miss of the centuary

[@masstransit2]

That was worse than Torres to be fair

[@brenforan4916]

The scoreboard was well better when you were in with them

[@colincolman1796]

Same as that I used to go in the scoreboard paddock still have great memories of the paddock right by the away fans only trouble was the dribble used to escort them to Warwick road so was difficult to get at them

[@brenforan4916]

Am talking about being an away fan in there

[@redflag8970]

haha ace

[@redflag8970]

Can’t ever remember anyone in utds bit of scoreboard ever

[@73reider]

You have obviously never played football at any level. A heavy ball is conducive to playing better football. A heavy ball doesent move about in the air like we see today. ball control was easier back then. Plus longer shots with a heavy ball when struck right have a truer movement in the air giving it more accuracy. The players today work wonders with these light balls nowadays.

[@RandomGuy7815]

best offside trap ever

[@swingsandroundabouts6138]

Hansen prrrroper pissed off with Dalglish lol

[@Mwnki]

Compared to George "SclerosisoftheLiver" Best every other footballer in the country at the time was teetotal

[@anupcool246]

hahahahhaha dalglish is the inspiration for torres! XD

[@fifalegend6298]

One bad miss and all of a sudden he is a bad player lol this man was a genius of a footballer. I've seen worse misses from ronaldo for example lmao

[@forestgrump1970]

4:00 BACK PASS REF !!!!

[@Reckoner12]

That's clever.

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Hansen should have just smashed that straight at Bailey. The bloke was such a featherweight, the ball and he would be in the back of the net. It's only his legs that saved the club from its biggest humiliation in May 1983 from Brighton's Gordon Smith's last gasp shot. 2019 and they lose to a debutant's goal at St James's Park against probably the worst cut-price Premier League club in the organisation's history. Oh how the mighty have fallen..........

[@masstransit2]

Looks like Dalglish was a heavy drinker even then

[@south2east]

Even the first goal lol Was he doing

[@69LDW]

Can you imagine Slippy G on that pitch , Y.S.B

[@fifalegend6298]

He would dominate that pitch. Unlike Scholes or Giggs. They would be too busy finding girls to rape and beat

[@ahmedfarid370]

Question why did all the utd players storm out of their own half like that? 😂

[@weetak]

Trying to play off side trap. Rule then was whether u interfere with play or not...it is still offside

[@andycross9840]

@@weetak Still, I couldn't believe we were trying to play the offside trap on the halfway line! That's suicide!!

[@weetak]

@@andycross9840 the law was different then. even if you are not the active player, once you are offside then you are. if your team mate get the ball but you are offside, then its offside hence need not catch the person receiving the ball. When rules gradually change and the concept of "not interfering with play came up", Brian Clough remarked, "if he was not interfering with play then what the hell was he doing on the pitch". Hope this clarifies a bit
