Just look at that Elland Road pitch. Proper footballers in them days. :-) Seriously, though, the Premier League generation do not realise how great the Liverpool teams of the 80s were. McMahon and Molby were my favourite midfield combo. Molby's right foot has no equal in world football. Watch him and his stats. Rush the rapier and Beardsley (who was the making of Lineker's international career) are a perfect attacking combo. John Barnes was as skilled, balanced and visionary attacking midfielder, as any of the Brazilian legends (Pele aside!).

Not sure about any of the other teams, but Manchester City is definitely the most talented team ever in England, simply because of the money they have. No team had this much buying power back then. Also, the improved training methods, diet-plans, stat-recording and computer-assisted match analyses, harsher refereeing on dangerous tackles... gives the 21st century teams a huge advantage over teams from the early 90's.

Brings back happy memories. I was 18 years old and couldn't get a ticket (big games had just become all ticket) so tried to buy one outside for a few hours with no luck whatsoever, so decided to try and sneak in through a turnstile in the Lowfields. One of my mates went through in front of me and tried to shield me as best he could from the old boy in the booth, while I tried to slither underneath the bottom rung of the turnstile. It went well until I got stuck half way underneath. My mate had had to go through and I was just wedged, half in half out. I thought well that's me fucked and resigned myself to whatever was gonna happen and looked up at the screen and the old fella with glasses on had got up out of his chair and was just gazing down at me stuck in his turnstile. Next thing, this great big skinhead put his boot into my back/arse and gave me the biggest shove and said "you're through now lad" I couldn't believe it. Got up and me and my mates sprinted up the stairs and straight into the end pen. Even though we got beat, I'd love to buy that man a beer. What a match. Thanks for uploading.

Liverpool had a thing back in the 90's of being involved in high scoring games, a combination of having a formidable attack and a weak defence dealing with high balls meant that so long as they scored more than they conceded it was ok....but as mentioned before the cracks were clear for all to see. An ageing team, defence that was questionable under the high ball and frequent management changes. Its taken 30 years to ride the carousel to get back to a side that will challenge for the league title. If history teaches us anything its that teams like arsenal, man utd and co. cant expect a quick fix anytime soon. This was a great game and Leeds were worthy league champions. YNWA.

Hysen 'on his day' was half decent. But as Johnny Giles says, you cannot rely on players who perform 'on their day'. But I think it was this game when Souness made his decision that Hysen was not good enough and was told "You're out!" (Gary Gillespie relayed that to a friend once).

Couple this with the fact that Hansen was having persistant injury issues(his knees), and the fact that he was approaching the end of his career, and by 1991, they were without two of the finest central defenders the club had ever had.

John Barnes was the best English player from 1987 till 1991.
Best player from 1985.
One of the best in the world. Maradona only the most obvious better player
Agreed
Didnt help him english clubs were banned from Europe for 5 years . Obviously Maradona but behind him only barnes and gullit for me
Everytime John Barnes gets on the ball he is simply imperious. What a player.
of British players i have seen - only Hoddle and Gascoigne had his flair and ability.
@@cardigan3000plus beardsley & le tiss
This match feels like just yesterday! It makes you realise just how brilliant (especially) Barnes and Rush were.
And (for me) Beardsley as well.
Them dummies and back flicks and through balls were inch perfect.
I was in the south stand for this memorable match. John Barnes was immense that game and I am a life long LUFC fan born and bred in Leeds.
I remember listening to this game on the radio. This was back in the day of multiple sat 3pm kick offs. An awesome game and one of the last games when Barnes was a top, top player. LFC fan
@@CidersAndReligiousCrusades he always did.
Barnes was an absolutely sublime & terrific player back then. Very direct & powerful. I'm surprised that he's generally ignored by the history books.
Absolutely criminal how the new breed of LFC fan doesn't or can't actually appreciate how good J.Barnes was. When he retired, my heart broke - AFC fan.
So good that he easily overcame his lack of speed
Over THIRTY years ago. I was watching it live on RTE in Dublin, young Liverpool fan. Even at 4-0 at half-time I was still tense because I could sense a Leeds fight back was on the way. Was nearly suffering heart failure at the end.
Just look at that Elland Road pitch. Proper footballers in them days. :-) Seriously, though, the Premier League generation do not realise how great the Liverpool teams of the 80s were. McMahon and Molby were my favourite midfield combo. Molby's right foot has no equal in world football. Watch him and his stats. Rush the rapier and Beardsley (who was the making of Lineker's international career) are a perfect attacking combo. John Barnes was as skilled, balanced and visionary attacking midfielder, as any of the Brazilian legends (Pele aside!).
Mike Hooper and the Liverpool defence aside, just how good was John Barnes?!!! Absolutely brilliant, that's what he was.
I am an Everton fan and even I enjoyed watching Barnes play.
He was probably better than Gazza, to be honest. I forgot just how good Barnes was. He's on another level here.
@@ongbonga9025 better than gazza LMAO
@@si4632 gazza was shite the drunken prick
Mike Hooper had such a strange career, but this was a John Barnes master class.
Fantastic heart by the Leeds players to keep pushing. Never give up.....credit to Liverpool, and Barnes, but Leeds were warriors. (Pompey fan)
Aye, top class Midfield + Chapman was always in 'right place @ time' the legend..🔥
Leeds showing the fighting spirit that won them the Title the following year.
I love these old school football video's look at the pitch also not exactly pristine like they are these days but some of the football played you wouldn't know it really would you 😄
After legend Don Revie, .. Howard Wilkinson was the next legendary manager in Leeds Utd history!! How I missed the yesteryears!!
Jesus look at the state of that pitch for April. What a player Barnes was, to play so beautifully in those days...
If England's players played on pitches like this with their clubs, maybe we would win a trophy.
modern footballer would struggle to play on that surface now. Imagine how good those players would be with the smooth pitches used now.
As a Leeds fan the Liverpool games were always my favourite competitive rivalry on the pitch but mutual respect of it probably the dislike of Man United would be nice to see Liverpool win the league and Leeds go up
Liverpool fan here. I've missed Leeds being in the top division ever since they were relegated. One of the top 6 or 7 biggest clubs in England. Not been the same without you. Feel the same but to a lesser extent, with Villa, Wednesday and Forest as well.
dogs aren't dangerous unfortunately both will. Xx
Always remember when we beat Man utd to hand leeds the title, always have respected leeds...huge club and good to see you back soon 👍
That being the case, why do all other teams fans dislike one another? You'd expect them to get along, because NOBODY LIKES LEEDS UTD
@@liamwhitcombe1237 liverpool just a long ball team lol
Nice to see Leeds fans applaud Barnes goal, which made it 4 0
John Barnes was a complete player. He had everything.
best No.10 in Reds history
Best goal I ever saw Barnes score was for Watford against Liverpool. He was on the half way line took it past 3 players and slotted it in. Kenny must have made his mind up that day to sign him a month or so later. Unfortunately is was not televised that day.
@@blackghost10sg Correct.
He certainly did.
At his peak, better than Messi. Muddy pitches, crunching tackles, no 'theatrics', yet still a wizard.
That throw from Speed (rip) for their 2nd was top class.
I remember watching this game live back in the day. Extraordinary match. I was just relieved Liverpool won it. YNWA.
I agree , john barnes was a fantastic play maker and a terrific goal scorer ..
3:40.Full credit to the Leeds supporters for applauding.
I thought that didn’t think you would get that from Leeds
Always liked how speedie put the ball in his own net after the final whistle, saying it should have been 5 a piece
Well when your getting gubbed ya may as well appreciate the brilliance Liverpool were showing
Leeds and Liverpool classic teams
@@ianmckenzie2680 you always get that from Leeds, unless you're Man Utd ;-)
Barnes the pinnacle of late 80s British football
What a player John barnes was .
This match gladly wasnt a title decider . I say Congratulations to Leeds for winning The league Title in 1992 . .I'm a Liverpool fan. I was glad for it Kept the TITLE from red half of manchester.❤
Immense performance by Lee Chapman... John Barnes was arguably on peak form here too
The last hoorah from that great Liverpool team. You could tell in the 2nd half of the 90/91 season that the Liverpool team would need rebuilding.
The Leeds fans applauding John Barnes goal.
As a liverpool fan id love to see leeds get back in the big time, i remember watching this game here in ireland we used to get a live broadcast on a saturday afternoon on sports stadium which was our version of grandstand , this was the end of our glory days although we could still belt teams from time to time the cracks were well and truly appearing for a while , leeds won the title the year after this , pre season 1991 i saw them play a pre season friendly in cork and met half the team including gary speed bless him, all nice lads .. we beat man united 2 - 0 and leeds won the title in 1992
People talk about Salah these days, but he has nothing on Barnes.
And this isn't even a diss to Salah. Salah's terrific. Barnes was simply better.
Please dont compare them though they are left footer
What a game. LFC defence shocking but Barnes
Brilleant game..and we lost! Was in the Kop that day and Barnes was unplayable but what a fight back. Poor reffing decision on second leeds goal. Remember the teams applauding both sets of fans at the end. Two great clubs and happy memories.
Kop? sure it was Ellend Rd.
@@millsbomb007 We have a Kop at Elland Road too.
@@mrnobody4237 I understand that, I believe there's about 10 or so Kop ends in and around world stadia
As a Reds fan , I remember when it was us and Leeds ....the big two! Always had a soft spot for Leeds and they have great support! Love them back in the PL . The league needs teams like Leeds! YNWA
Yep early 70s this was the biggest rivalry in football a well respected one on & off the pitch and Revie & Shankly were top mates who spoke to one another every Saturday night after MOTD.
@@mick6370 It was indeed my friend! When men were real men , on and off the field!
Leeds won the league 68/69 at Anfield. I will never forget how the Liverpool fans gave Leeds such an ovation. Leeds fans respect Liverpool, in the the exact opposite way we hate those tossers at Old Trafford!!!
@@garybradley1 Good post brother! Looking forward to the traditional big two rivalry resuming next season . Has to be Leeds' year to get back up where they belong !
@1:20 That interchange leading to the Liverpool pen is fucking awesome. Great game; miss Leeds in the top flight
If Barnes was playing today he would still be the best player in the Pren league - what a player he was. These 2 teams would both br top 3 no problem I today's league - imagine Man Citys pampered players playing on that pitch - they would spit the dummy out.
Sorry to disagree, there were a *few* half decent players on both sides and John Barnes probably the pick of them, but the overall quality of football in the early 90s was dogshit compared to what today's Man City, Liverpool (or any of the top 6 really) can do. Sticking my neck out but both these teams would be relegation fodder in the Premiership this year imho.
@@gavinmatahari - As someone who watched both I think we will have to agree to disagree lad.
Not sure about any of the other teams, but Manchester City is definitely the most talented team ever in England, simply because of the money they have. No team had this much buying power back then. Also, the improved training methods, diet-plans, stat-recording and computer-assisted match analyses, harsher refereeing on dangerous tackles... gives the 21st century teams a huge advantage over teams from the early 90's.
@@zaidabraham7310 But the point is if the team of 91 were playing today they would have the same fitness as the modern players and play on the same type of carpet pitches. Going back to the 1980s are you telling me the 2 key players in that Liverpool team in Dalglish and Souness wouldn't be the best 2 players in English football if they played today? 4 European Cups in that period for that team most of which included those 2 players say different. What about the late 1960s man U team that won the European cup with 3 European footballers of the year in the same team - Charleton, Law and Best - tell me If they wouldn't be the best 3 players in the league if they played now.
@@zaidabraham7310 but if they played it would be under early 90's games and pitches!
Brings back happy memories. I was 18 years old and couldn't get a ticket (big games had just become all ticket) so tried to buy one outside for a few hours with no luck whatsoever, so decided to try and sneak in through a turnstile in the Lowfields. One of my mates went through in front of me and tried to shield me as best he could from the old boy in the booth, while I tried to slither underneath the bottom rung of the turnstile. It went well until I got stuck half way underneath. My mate had had to go through and I was just wedged, half in half out. I thought well that's me fucked and resigned myself to whatever was gonna happen and looked up at the screen and the old fella with glasses on had got up out of his chair and was just gazing down at me stuck in his turnstile. Next thing, this great big skinhead put his boot into my back/arse and gave me the biggest shove and said "you're through now lad" I couldn't believe it. Got up and me and my mates sprinted up the stairs and straight into the end pen. Even though we got beat, I'd love to buy that man a beer. What a match. Thanks for uploading.
That's brilliant.
Shame Lee Chapman didn't get more opportunities with England, he was a deadly finisher
That flipping Tyler. As early as that first Liverpool goal he was trying to dampen the mood. He's still the same 30 years later. He literally hates it when Liverpool scored. The sooner he buggers off to retirement the better.
a good leeds utd side, but nobody would ever predict 12 months later that they will be champions.
Barnes was different class 🙌🏽
Liverpool were reigning champions that season. Geez has it really been that long since they won the league.
Yeah but they were falling to pieces at that time. I remember it well unfortunately
@msec Ses Yep. Been going since 1977 and the cracks were deffo beginning to appear .
Pablo Jablo more like early 60’s when they got promoted, or 65 when they won their 1st fa cup or at least 74 when they won the uefa cup. But at the very top of the game, yeah, 77ish.
shellsbignumber2 4 second places when points wise would have won the league most seasons. Been a bit unlucky. But with the champs league World Cup and league(soon) backed by Nike making them a priority, they’ll be at the top for a while. On course to overtake manu financially in 3-5 years.
Gary speed, how sad.
4-0 down at half-time today and most of the home fans would have left.
I remember this result. Liverpool had a thing back in the 90's of being involved in high scoring games, a combination of having a formidable attack and a weak defence dealing with high balls meant that so long as they scored more than they conceded it was ok....but as mentioned before the cracks were clear for all to see. An ageing team, defence that was questionable under the high ball and frequent management changes. Its taken 30 years to ride the carousel to get back to a side that will challenge for the league title. If history teaches us anything its that teams like arsenal, man utd and co. cant expect a quick fix anytime soon. This was a great game and Leeds were worthy league champions. YNWA.
That Liverpool keeper could not even keep a secret
Mike Hooper couldn't catch a cold especially under a high ball under pressure.
Well he was just the reserve keeper.
Those who got a ticket for this game surely got value for money with a memorable 9 goal classic match. Barnes was superb for Liverpool but Chapman was also impressive for Leeds as the big number 9.
Imagine Speedie had misheard he final whistle at the end there
Nice comeback from Leeds. Enjoyed it. Cheers from neutral Glasgow : )
Back then, a game between Leeds and Liverpool would have been shown live on Sports today. I remember listening to the updates on the five live radio and thinking what the hell was happening there. When we were 4 down, i thought we were really going to get a beating, but thanks to Wilko and the team, we fought back well. And, maybe, just maybe, VAR would have disallowed Liverpool's opening goal and given Lee Chapman goal for foul, which wasn't for us.
Always Irritated me this game as liverpool fan, so bad defensively that season with Hysen a particular weak link he was just awful. Leeds where like a breath of fresh air when they came back up that season, brilliant support home and away at a time when the atmosphere at most grounds was a bit dull. Unbelievable how they won the title the season after promotion, strachan, wallace and Batty where on fire that season.
Hysen 'on his day' was half decent. But as Johnny Giles says, you cannot rely on players who perform 'on their day'. But I think it was this game when Souness made his decision that Hysen was not good enough and was told "You're out!" (Gary Gillespie relayed that to a friend once).
no var . ref letting the teams play. no quarter given. just two teams giving there all. brilliant.
VAR still isn't in the premier league yet, also you forgot we don't get pitches of this quality anymore and no 4th official holding a board up telling you how much added time there was. That's what added to the excitement
Leeds fans get some stick, but they were absolutely class here. The applause they gave Barnes for the 4th, you could hear it all around the ground. And at the end, rapturous applause after losing. On a side note, Hooper and Strachan having a private battle for gingerest bastard in the league.
Ong Bonga strachan
John Barnes was epic that day both teams when for it and didn't disappoint...a game of 2halves Liverpool was rampant made it look so easy at 4 nil down the whole kop end and orther parts of the ground gave john barnes around of applause nice to see back then BUT NOW TO THE SECOND HALF leeds pressed much higher this half knowing that Liverpool s defense was not as strong as there attacking line batty strachanpushed midfield up and chapmam took his goals well a great fight back but not to be in the end BUT WITH FERGIE TIME IT MAY HAVE BEEN FIVE EACH.
I was at this match and Liverpool were majestic in the final third. They did everything right. And Leeds weren't playing that bad either. I was in the Kop and when Barnes scored the 4th it just burst into applause. You can see this in the vid for a second or so.
You must be confused, this isn't at Anfield
Think he means the Leeds Kop...classy applause from the Leeds fans.
Yeah fair play for applauding. It's nice to see.
This game was at Ellen's Road Leeds pal
Nia Petkar - Elland Road also has a Kop end.
Two of the most iconic football kits for both clubs
Best 45 minutes of football I've ever seen!! Liverpool just fantastic
Wouldn’t say 45. I was there in the south stand (was the YEP family stand back then) and can’t remember much in that first half other than possibly the most devastating 17 minute period of football I’ve probably seen live. Barnes, Rush, Molby, Whelan, Beardsley and Houghton absolutely destroyed us. Was a joy to watch. We were ready to go home apparently(or my uncles were anyway) but glad we stayed. I really thought we were going to get it back to 5-5 at the end.
Watch the demolition of forest 5-0 beardsley was on fire
When you watch how bad Liverpools defensive became, after Hansens retirement.
It isnt as simple as that. Liverpool lost Mark Lawrenson in 1988, to a freak injury he picked up in 1987, Lawrenson was if anything a better defender, and the decision not to address that loss would have far reaching consequences. Couple this with the fact that Hansen was having persistant injury issues(his knees), and the fact that he was approaching the end of his career, and by 1991, they were without two of the finest central defenders the club had ever had.
A shame someone had to lose that as what a great game of football. Game of the season or was there better, genuine enquiry.
You know that the cracks are appearing in your team when you're completely dominating a match and almost throwing it away. Even in the early days of Jurgen Klopp, we still had this issue. The last two seasons have been a different story.
I was in the lowfield rd standing section....we got robbed at gunpoint with Chapman’s goal being ruled out.....the atmosphere was epic in the stands that afternoon.....
John Barnes is clearly the star but Liverpool was just an amazing team going forward. Rushy does nothing too fancy but the goals keep going in.
Lee Chapman was unplayable in that match. He was quality for Leeds.
So was John Barnes.
Barnes -- genuinely genius
Barnes an immense player before his Achilles injury turned him into a holding midfielder. Unplayable. Chapman an absolute battering ram in some games too
Leslie ash agrees
I was living out of the country in the early 90s, and I am not a fan of either team. That result passed me by. Epic stuff.
The fitness levels of these guys would be about 50% of today’s players.
These guys could play after having been in the pub all night, and they didn't roll around on the floor after having been kicked in the head
they probably had beers and a few chaser's at half time.
I'm a West ham fan and always liked this Liverpool team.i remember the next season there were big changes with a lot of departures when souness came in.cracking Leeds side also.bring back the terraces great times before all this money changed football as we know it.
middle class\blue collar simply don't like standing!!!
Barnes was on fire!
Know you now why Liverpool's goalkeeper Mike Hooper only played 51 games over eight and a half years at Anfield.
John Barnes was unreal.
John Barnes is a God
Underrated as well. He along with Gazza, most talented English players I' ve ever seen.
Jan Molby was fatter, a real lard arse!

What a game that was. Had to listen from the updates on fivelive. Thought at one point we were going to concede more than five goals. But what a great comeback, maybe if we had a bit more time it could have ended 5-5.
Or 4-6...
The game summed up Liverpool that season - brilliant in the first half, couldn’t defend in the second half!
Great to have a player like Barnes in your team I bet. Always got a chance.
YNWA.... Thank you sporting clips
Great game!

😂😂 Haha. The proper old school looking ref. He defo was the “Staunch Labour Club member, darts playing pint o best and a babycham for missus” type of guy. 😂😂
Hang on! 07:24 a mis-hit pass from Molby . I used to think he had a radar in his boots as his passes always used to get to the target
If only games were like this now!😉👹
The arrival of Glen Hysen into the back four didn’t help. No pace and he couldn’t read the game. The games against Leeds were always great. I miss them. Hope they come up for next season if there is one
Barnes was an absolute weapon
Liverpool''s empire fell apart because of an inability to defend aerial balls - and it all started v Palace in the '90 Cup s-f. That was when the balance of power shifted. 30 years later and maybe it's finally shifting back. Maybe.
4:16 Still weird seeing a goalie handle a back pass ;-)
Lovely pitch
If Bruce Grobberlar was the goal keeper for Leeds United would'nt score so many goals.
That pitch. Good god.
'This is wonderful, it's slaughter here'!
