Liverpool v Swansea 1981

[Ed the Wool]

This was the first season I was really obsessed with the Reds. There’s so many great little moments in here. Don’t want to spoil any of them. Enjoy

Didn't get in til halfway through the first half, queues for the Kop in the lashing down rain all the way up Kemlyn Road.

Oi Ed, Gethin starts the match threads round here.

Nothing beats a late winner.

Ronnie Moran running on with his Gola bag and giving the ref an earful.

The ref not being an absolute b*****d and actually appearing to care about the players.

Ronnie and Joe.

The Kop (dangerously swaying).

The away fans in the other corner.

That kit. 

Life before Rush.

Souness like a big cat thundering forward.

Moving the football at a speed much faster than I remembered. 

There's loads more in here as well. f***ing brilliant. No wonder I'm still obsessed.

Yeah, none of the modern hysterics, none of the snide. Loads better isn't it.

That’s great, thanks!

Couple things;

Phil Neal was great. Passing, positioning. Ruined by that Graham Taylor video  ‘yes boss’. 

Souness was imperious. No one challenged him. 

Thompson dives in, acts nervous. Also been my impression of him. 

Johnson much better than I remembered. Reminds me of Kuyt. He is everywhere. 
Alan Curtis of Swansea was a good player.

I think this was close to Thommo's last season, he was past is best at this stage and he looks leggy. I thought Lawro came later than Hansen for some reason. 

The Kuyt shout is a good one!

I also thought Grobbelaar's first game was when we got stuffed by Flamengo for some reason, but here he is the season before.

Couple of belting goals in this one.
