LFC Old Photos

Liverpool manager Bill Shankly watches a game of street football from a flat above Eldon Groove,1965.

 

Great photo that, and the sad thing is, you couldn't easily take a photo like that nowadays - too many morons and hurdles in the way of you trying to get candid shots of kids. World's gone mad.

 

It's also another clue as to why we're crap at football these days. Kids don't kick a ball in the street for hours on end any more.

I hope the stewards made people take the lids off those bottles before entering the turn styles,otherwise they could be used as a 'missile'.

Is that a bottle of Cointreau in the bottom left corner?

 

Who knew she was a Red?

Just came across this pic from the LFC chrimbo party from the late 80's...not sure about the KKK outfit......think it might be Barnsey..

 

It was Barnesy.

Never took himself too seriously and did this to counter the racist abuse and bananas thrown at him by our Blueshite neighbours.

Class.

Why are all these on twitter or facebook.

 

Open up a flickr account and whack them on there

Just before my time that, though I used to play football on there regularly a few years later.  The broken glass that was often on there was a particular delight.

I make the back row, (from left) - Nigel Farage, Mike Hooper, Steve Mcmahon, Jan Molby.

 

That's Kenny dressed as the judge unless I've completely lost it.

[redheart]

Yep Dalglish top right as the judge and to his left Lawrenson. Christ John Wark is in that picture. I had almost wiped that ugly useless git from my memory

[Stickman]

I think I would rather use this than when Keegan advertised Brut..I think this is from 71

Never mind which of these would make our team today, just make that our team.

Superb. Can you buy prints of that? I'd love to stick one in a frame and hang it on the wall. To piss the wife off if nothing else.

Not a photo, but I came across this on youtube and thought it was fascinating in lots of ways:

 

1972 - team in transition

Playing Dynamo Berlin, who had some very decent players 

Toshack with no Keegan

The pitch a quagmire

Those old white seats in the Kemlyn Road

half empty stands but packed ends (as it was often in early cup games in those days)

Phil Thompson playing in midfield (and nutmegging an opponent)

Alec Lindsay playing with a hangover

Cormack looking elegant as always

Callaghan a bundle of energy as always

rare glimpse of Jack Whitham, who if I remember used to only score in hat tricks.  

No-one celebrating Heighway's goal

Phil Babb far left ?

No - but one of the girls is BBC North-West newsreader Carol Lowe.

 

(Ah, the exalted world of celebrity!)

1972 - team in transition

Let's hope we are in transition like that this upcoming season.
