Man Utd v Liverpool - 1985 FA Cup Semi-Final Replay (ITV Highlights)

[@thomasoflaherty3520]

Following on from the first game at Goodison I also was at this one. Was in The Kippax End with thousands of United supporters and when Robson's goal fired in OMG...pure chaos pandemonium. Loved it, beating the then mighty Liverpool whilst standing in City supporters favourite end at Maine Road. A perfect night all round. Loved those times, wouldn't swap anything now for the great matches I went to in the 70's and 80's; STANDING on The Stretford End, no mobiles, no silent tourists with their souvenir shop goodies sitting on their arses, hard core singing and chanting one hour plus before the game started, cheap admission prices, yes, just 2 FA Cup wins in the 80's and but 1 one the late 70's but hell, I loved those times.

[@redflag8970]

ye great times

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

I'm not certain whether it is just being a youth experiencing it for the first time or whether it was because those days were so very different. All I know is they were by far the happiest times of my match going experience despite being treated like cattle by the cops and having pretty piss poor facilities. Every home game was a 440 mile round trip for me aged 12 but walking up the Stretford End was the happiest moments of my match going life and I would travel ANY distance to watch United. The older ones always looked out for the younger ones whether they knew you or not. Something I've always done as an adult. Different times, different values!! GGMU. LUHG.

That was some night. The atmosphere was electric. Liverpool were rightly called a machine back then; they were virtually unstoppable once they got into gear. We often had the edge in individual games, especially cup-ties, but we could never match their consistency in the league. Robbo's goal was top-drawer and Sparky's winner was class too, but Whiteside's winner in the final topped the lot.

[@christaylor1933]

Totally agree. Just not the same now, too many foreign players who don't really understand the rivalry between the two Cities..The British and local lads knew alright..and passionately so! We miss them good old thunder games from the 70's and 80's between Utd and Liverpool. Back then Liverpool were the benchmark in the league in terms of winning it.. Utd were a great cup team and just didn't have that strength in depth and maybe that little bit of luck you need to win a league title..still a very good side though and marvelously lead by Captain Marvel himself, Bryan Robson.. As good a central midfielder and driving force as there's ever been. Mark sparky Hughes, a bull of a centre forward and classy too, with a deft touch. Stormin Norman Whiteside, when he was a boy, he was a man..what a young talent he was at just 17yrs of age..great forward..Paul McGrath at centre back, an absolute rolls royce of a player, he had it all. Strength, speed and acceleration. His distribution was just as good too. Aerial ability and also chipped in with the odd goal from set pieces. He could also play in midfield too, he was that good a footballer..sold to Aston Villa and had a great career there too. Gordon Strachan, the jinking little scot, Frank Stapleton who was also a very good centre forward, aerial ability to match..a good pro Two full backs Micky Duxbury, mr consistency himself and as steady as they come..Arthur Albiston, again another tenacious and consistent left back, both good distributors too. Not like todays unfortunately. Gary Bailey in goal, got a few England caps and was quite a safe pair of hands..did we ever forgive him for the 79 final misshap at the end of the game..i think we did. Great memories and great atmosphere's too at these neutral venues and then onto the mecca and final of the old Wembley stadium. It meant everything back then to get to the Cup final and go on and win it. Such a shame manager's and the so called powers that be don't see it that way. Gone but not forgotten those great days from yester year in the FA cup

Liverpool finished empty-handed this 1985 season and I always felt that the loss of Graeme Souness during the previous summer had left a massive hole in our midfield. Jan Molby went on to become a great player for the club, but he wasn't a replacement for Souness at all - and when you went into battle with United, you needed a Graeme Souness in your team. Many people have commented on the fantastic atmosphere at this game, but I can tell you that it was nothing short of toxic. There was also murder outside the ground after the match. Atmospheres were better during this era, but this was one rivalry that had simply gone too far. I was opposite the cameras and saw shirts and scarves set on fire - not to mention coins and golf balls being thrown. There's nothing wrong with competitive rivalry, but the 1985 season was a real low-point for me.

[@craiggerrard5117]

I agree with you completely. I was at the first game in the Street End and it was the most poisonous atmosphere imaginable. I remember getting hit on the shoulder by a coin. The season ended with Heysel and I couldn't face football again after what I saw there. You're right about Souness as well. If he had been in the team that season then Everton may still have finished champions but it would have been a lot closer.

robbo.the word legend is used far too often,but bryan robson is the best midfielder i've ever seen and legend is exactly what he is.great days and as usual,our fans took over.scouse bastards,love beating them.

[@peterh1353]

You need to get out more if he is the best midfielder you ever saw. The press nicknamed him captain over-rated. Disappeared in to the wallpaper when playing for his country who always did better without him. But then again this country has always had a soft spot for hardworking mediocrity.

[@cleehomes]

The press meaning the Liverpool Echo!!! He was the only England player who showed up for Euro 88 while the likes of Barnes, Waddle, Hoddle and co froze! Played 24 games less for his country than Steven Gerrard yet scored five more goals than him and averaged a goal every 3 n a half games for England (name another midfielder with a better strike record for England)! Brian Clough (who knew his football) said he was the best English midfielder he had ever seen! He was two footed, could pass, tackle, was fast, could finish, head, run all day, read the game, direct and lead his team mates, never slipped or dived and although he loved sticking it to Liverpool he would also go to Merseyside for a pint or ten with some of the Liverpool players in his spare time!

Man United-Liverpool derby.. arguably the best in England; a rivalry steeped in both location, familiarity and success. This was a Liverpool team that was good enough to beat the best teams in Europe, yet somehow, United got the better of them.

@@stevenhobin - Hope you had a good day. As a ST holder at Anfield you have about a 1 in 5 chance if getting a ticket for the poxy away allocation so an astute observation. Sure you'll be at our place for the return though, I deffo will.
