I have the 87/88 season review called "The Mighty Reds" on DVD that I could get up. I've got a lot of games that would be good to get up on there. 7-0 against Spurs, 9-0 against Palace. Will have to be reminded how you do it.

Absoloutly cracking video that one mate(mighty reds),vintage season,honestly think we wouldnt be singing '5 times if that side had played in the European cup...

OK, help me out, anyone who was there. The cameras failed to catch the full glory of one of the goals (I think maybe it was the Gary Gillespie one). I have a memory of Barnes doing yet another terrific piece of skill in the left hand corner just before the cross was delivered, yet the camera cuts in too late to catch it. The moment was therefore lost forever. But what exactly happened? Another nutmeg, a Cruyff turn, a roulette? What was it Kopites?

Think it was off a throw or short corner,nutmegged someone right on the corner of the 18 yrd box /goalline,the pulled it back for Gillespie,great goal,my fave that night was the second one,the pass from Beardo to Aldo,the way Aldo let it run across his body and the finish was sublime.. Deffo the best performance of attacking footy ive ever seen,shoulda scored 9 or 10

Right click on the link, choose Save As, and save the file onto your computer as an MPEG. Then you can watch it.

Cheers mate I think I've found my problem.

I can't believe how quick the pace of this game is. Its as fast if not faster than most Premier League games these days. What an awesome performance. Needless to say I'd love if we played like that all the time.

Also, aren't backpasses pretty funny?

I’d be mentioning it all the time too. Probably the best performance I’ve ever seen. It still blows me away watching any clips of that game. The speed of play, the passing, movement, and the perfect game from Beardsley.

What a night, one of my favourites ever, maybe our best ever team.

I decided around 5 o'clock "you know what I'll go the match tonight"; it was cheap - a fiver or so I think - but money was tight, my wife and I had just moved into our own place and I took home less than a ton a week, so I couldn't afford to go all the time, how glad I am I went that night. I met my Dad's youngest brother at the Chippy on Utting Avenue, and Stanley Park South where he lived, got our usual bag of chips, loads of salt and vinegar

and then the walk up to the ground, in the Kop, middle right, to watch it all unfold, it was footballing perfection. Tom Finney, Platini, Des Lynam, everyone Eulogized on the telly later that night, this was the best team in Europe - no doubt.

What a night though. I've written about this before, but do you remember the sustained applause on the Kop after the glorious move that ended with Beardsley's rasper nearly breaking bar in two? It seemed to go on for ever. More like a standing ovation given to a brilliant play at the curtain call rather than a football match.

I still think it was one of the most unusual sounds I've heard at a football match. It was almost better that the ball didn't go in the net because we would never have 'celebrated' as we did. The Kop's ovation went on for two or three minutes I seem to remember. We were applauding a great move as well as a brilliant shot. But I think we must have been applauding a great season as well. It felt like a massive 'Thank You' to the manager and the players. An 'enough already!' moment. All the better, that the match was still going on.

The birth of my love for Liverpool FC, this game. I can’t find a way of explaining the depth of emotion it created. Not just the players but the whole thing, the supporters, the ground, the commentary. It’s the game I measure every other LFC experience against.

Platini was at that game, remembering reading about him waxing lyrical about it.

Tom Finney was blown away as well.

Probably the best performance I have seen from a Liverpool side. Forest were a proper side at that time and we absolutely dismantled them. Beardsley was like a prelude to a peak Messi. They simply couldn't cope with him.

All played out in front of the standing Kop.

I think Platini was at the game we beat Arsenal 2-0 when Aldridge scored after McMahon kept the ball in and Beardsley scored a great solo goal. I somehow was at that game that season too (and the Derby).

It was the Derby wasn't it? At Goodison I think. He said afterwards he loved it. But in reality it was the day he must have decided to float the idea of eliminating tackling from football.

It was a very special night, and I’d urge anyone who hasn’t seen it not to watch just the highlights, but the whole game.

Why? Because then you’ll understand that a) Forest were no mugs, b) that the philosophy of both managers/clubs were similar, and contributed to the spectacle, and c) that the DNA of Liverpool is exemplified in this game in a way that must surely have rubbed off on Rodgers and Klopp - years later - what Motson refers to, I think, as the “Liverpool way”.

It’s significant that this stunning example of the “Liverpool way” was achieved with players such as Spackman, Ablett, Gillespie and Houghton. I’m in no way dismissing nor underrating their footballing ability; rather I’m highlighting the fact that only Barnes and Hansen, from this team, would be in the running should an all-time LFC team be the subject of discussion.

My point is that the “Liverpool way” subsumes individual prowess by always putting the emphasis on team, work ethic and selflessness. It’s why Klopp is the perfect fit, and why I love what he’s done to cement the club’s legacy.

Shame the YouTube video has the European games removed due to copyright. I'll watch it full tonight.

Slightly off topic, but I had a VHS of the greatest LFC games. My dad used to wax lyrically about the great sides of 70s and 80s (he's not a fan of the 90s sides

), he went to home and aways early 80s, so he got me some VHS for my 'footballing education' when I was a kid. 1978 Liverpool 7 - 0 Spurs was my favorite. "Johnson, and Johnson the ball into arces of space for Heighway, and Heighway a brilliant cross back, and what a classic goal." Lost count how many times watched those highlights.

What a game this was. Forest weren’t any mugs at this point either.

Would probably be the equivalent of whacking Leicester or Spurs (2017-2019) nowadays.

That 1987/88 Liverpool team was amazing. Probably the most exciting attacking team I can remember. Arguably 2013/14 is similar in terms of excitement. 1987/88 team was better since the attacking threat wasn’t at the expense of defensive solidity (like 2013/14).

John Barnes was pinnacle of this team. Still arguably the most talented player I’ve seen in a red shirt. Gerrard and Suarez were the only ones close, with Gerrard being a better player than Barnes overall due to longevity at the top of his game.

We’d played them twice before in the previous month I think. Once the FA Cup semi final where Aldridge scored that great volley and once in the League on Easter Saturday where we lost to them, our second and last defeat of the league season. Think they might have been second in the League when we played them.

It'll never be repeated where a club gets promoted to the top division, wins the league. Nevermind then winning the European Cup the following season, knocking out the holders in the process, then defends the thing. C loughs two wins outshine Fergies two as well, with Bob sitting as the King

From 1987 to 1990 they came 3rd twice, got to FA Cup SF twice ( beaten by us) and won League Cup twice. They were definitely one of the best English teams in that period.

In fact between 1977 and 1992 they only finished outside the Top 10 in the league once. Won a league title, 2 European Cups, Super Cup, 4 League Cups and Charity Shield. Got to a couple of other finals plus domestic and European SFs too.

Fell off a cliff after 1992 and only really had 1 decent top flight season since. Think it was the season they had Collymore and Bryan Roy upfront

Was it really moved from the start of the season until April? I thought we just played our first few away?

I thought maybe this one was postponed because of a cup fixture clash or bad weather but I could be wrong!
