Brilliant.

Ian Callaghan could still get a game in our current midfield.

Can't find a thread on here to post old LFC pictures, so I thought I'd stick this in here.
Ken Dodd and the Giant Men in 1965.

The days of gentlemen footballers, recognised every face except the bloke on the very far right as you look at it and the one immediately above Ken (albeit you can only see the hair). Should be able to work that out from who is missing from below


Chris Lawler, Roger Hunt, Geoff Strong, Tommy Lawrence, Ron Yeats, Gerry Byrne, Ronnie Moran?, Ian Callaghan, Alf Arrowsmith, Tommy Smith, Gordon Milne


plus Bob Shankly, Joe Fagan and Bob Paisley


Gordon Wallace, Willie Stevenson, Peter Thompson, Ian St.John (does not look like the last two)

A remarkable and brilliant bit of film that , bet the guy who filmed it would never have imagined newly 90 years later people would be marvelling over it . Such a New York vibe on there too especially the construction of the India Buildings

Exactly what I was thinking. Brilliant clip.

That belongs in the 'would you sit here' thread.

Those of us who remember the old Hood Street Gyrotory & bus stops, which was like playing frogger if the bus driver didn't pull in & stop the bus kerbside, when letting passengers board.

Hmm. You may be having a bit of a laugh but last Friday I walked past the ventilation shaft of the Wallasey Tunnel at Seacombe and read the memorial to the nine men killed during it’s construction.

Building sites are still dangerous places but probably a  lot safer now than in the 1960s when the tunnel was being excavated.

Another old film.

Great film but as someone who struggles being at the top of a ladder it’s absolutely excruciating to watch those fellas on top of the buildings 😱

was a good pub, the Merton.  is it still going?

Just noticed it’s a Threlfalls pub.

Our office was just behind the brewery in Trueman Street and regularly visited to test and stamp beer meters before they were fitted in pubs.

In the early 70s visits were always accompanied by a couple of free pints and you’d have a chat with traffic wardens and postmen who were also enjoying the free hospitality.

[Red Beret]

The Merton was a Wetherspoons for awhile. Good news if it's escaped.

Nice pic's, Rob.

I spent a few afternoons in The Futurist. Also remember Eros on London Road, although I never went in.

Got loads of stuff from Greenberg's back in the day.

I see Les Dennis was on at the She Club in those ads. 

£1.25 to get into the Spion Kop. Those were the days, my friend...

Talking about Greenbergs a while back and me mate said he got his rig out for the 86 cup final there "Lutha jacket and cargo pants". Another lad said he got his rig out there  too "2nd officer on a  Norwegian freighter!"
