The Game of the 70s

[Armin_Tamzarian]

Monday's 'Great Debate' on LFC TV asks which was the greatest LFC Game of the Seventies. We're asking for your thoughts on your favourite game from one of our greatest decades in the clubs history.

 

From the drubbing of Newcastle in the '74 Cup Final to the drama of St Etienne there were goals and performances to savour. It was the decade the club began it's proud tradition of European success and won its first European Championship. Not to mention superb league victories such as the 7-0 annihilation of Spurs.

 

Tommy Smith and Peter Hooton are the guests, with Matt Critchley and Claire Rourke hosting proceedings. The Official website will run a series of polls and we're asking for your calls too, not just on the greatest match but your views and memories of a decade that started with Shankly's rebuilding process and ended with Paisley's awesome side setting new standards of excellence at home and abroad.

 

The show runs from 9-11pm on LFC TV. In the meantime please share your thoughts on the greatest match below and I'll ask the Producers to take a look before the show goes to air. We'll be taking calls on Monday from 8:45pm on the usual number, 0845 234 4567

'77 EC final - more for what it represented rather than the actual match

..was magnificent, and the start of everything domestically; it was also one of the great mass migrations of the 20th Century.

 

But St Etienne was the night we stepped up to the top table in European terms, and whilst matched for drama, and maybe noise, in 2004-5, for sheer physical intensity (at least if you were in the Kop), unlikely ever to be bettered.

St Etienne the best game

Spurs 7-0 the best performance

 

although I can't remember anything before 1974 so that's little more than half of the decade

Absolutely, the match was fantastic though, and for the sum of all the parts that was the best side we ever had, nay, the best English side in history.

It was at that point, but we've had better since

Late eighties were close and man for man probably better on paper. But that '77 side just kept the f*cking ball.

Spurs 7-0

 

McDermott's header - sublime.

[Murphman]

Spurs 7-0

 

 

I remember the look on the faces of Ardiles and Villa at the end, Ossie had just won the World cup, Villa was in the squad. reigning World champions made to look complete and utter mugs.
