Liverpool vs Borussia Monchengladbach - 1973

[@keithturner8277]

I was at this game in the Anfield Road end. The first game was abandoned and was replayed the night after. No messing around then! This was when most people paid at the turnstile to get in and there were no ticket stubs or rainchecks given out. Given no way to know who has already paid Liverpool made entry just 10p for the replayed game. So some people saw a UEFA cup final for just 10p (I think it was 40p to stand on the terrace for the first game, but different from today !)

YNWA Keith. I was there too

[@sezwho8561]

Yep 10 pence. Happy days

[@jorgeicardi9305]

Jupp heyinkes was world class goal scorer, unfortunately for him there was Gerd Muller in Germany at that time.

[@keithfailey3715]

Brilliant match, with my favourite commentator

[@oswaldoswaldspenglerbluese6488]

Incredible atmosphere in Anfield Road, the noise of the crowd is astonishing, i think that Borussia's players were intimidated by this barbaric and poetic wall of sound. Mythopoetic Football

Thanks for uploading this piece of history. I'm reading "Red or Dead" now which details Shankly's rise and tenure with LFC and I just finished this chapter last night. They won the league and they won the European cup. The start of something really big.

Exactly the same for me! 🙂

That second goal from Jupp is brilliant. Reminds me of Robben's goal vs Barca

[@mkrbrtsn1]

Toshack Keegan 1-0. priceless

[@5eurocups2005]

Kevin Keegan is one of the greatest and bravest headers of the ball.

RIP Clem 😔

[@NymphZoic68]

Ray Clemence Hero!

[@warrencundy]

I loved Keegan the little man would die for the shirt never stopped running or fighting the keeper as well Ray Clemence World Class Keegan still the only Englishman to b European Footballer of the Year twice

[@Rh143]

Golden years.

[@giuseppescoca9648]

I watched this match on a black an white screen, I was 11 years old. The defender on Tosh was Reiner Bonhof (not Netzer). The first match unplayed till the end was very particular The next day, the match won by the reds 3-0 made me the LFC fan I'm today... Kind regards of Belgium

[@MrMarolles]

Very similar to me Giuseppe, for me it was 76 UEFA Final against Brugge. Two great games, great atmosphere. I was born in Brussels of Italian descent and Giorgio Ghezzi who played for Inter was a cousin of my dad, should have become an Inter fan but LFC is just so special. Moved to England in 79 so I've had plenty of opportunities to watch LFC.

[@nikosmak6470]

Big Team Gladbach, i love this team from Germany, but is unlucky against the great Liverpool !!

[@razvanandreiantonescurogoz4236]

I was minus 15 years old when this game was played

[@goumasnick5020]

It is very peculiar that the Germans (not only Bonhof) couldn't jump in the wet penalty area. Shankly and Toshack won the game in a field full of mad in the penalty areas.

[@carlomassa9641]

football as it should be......old times way,,,,without VAR//////// no tatoo.......without losing time, without fake injury/pain/wound .........and above all with very good players...I miss it enormously

The playing surfaces were such a contrast: how did the Germans provide excellent playing surfaces?

[@petel2551]

Apparently the Liverpool first tie was abandoned due to torrential rain after 20 minutes an replayed the next day which is why the pitch was so bad. This happening was a game changer and resulted in a tactical switch according to John Toshack's story kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7NeoeXa7CVqZo

[@petel2551]

See John Toshack's comments on this match in the link below, interesting stuff. The final might have turned out differently if he hadn't challenged Shankly on his team selection. Sounds like Bill Shankly put his ego to one side and took on board Toshack's advice. Perhaps that's part of what made him a great manager, being willing to change his mind when one of his players challenges him for the right reasons kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7NeoeXa7CVqZo

Borussia che fu una delle più forti d Europa... Erano gli anni di un L. Inbattibile

[@Ruda-n4h]

Unfortunately Borussia couldn't cope with Liverpool's aerial power here, but a Gunter Netzer inspired performance gave them a demonstration of real football in the return leg but they were edged out 3-2 on aggregate. At this stage in their history Liverpool were only really a legend in the mind of Shankly and Scousers who still missed the Beatles.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

At this stage, even Bayern weren't yet legends either. The aerial threat, Liverpool didn't do too much of that, came about due to twenty mins of the abandoned game where Shanks saw that Gladbach couldn't handle it. That first Liverpool goal was the best goal of the entire two legged final. An absolute classic.

[@glasgowbhoy1980]

thought the German keeper's penalty save was better than Clemence's - David Coleman a bit on the biased side? lol

Ajax, Real et Juve étaient d'un niveau supérieur à Liverpool et au borussia cette année.
