Proper football, played by proper footballers not clueless posers. Great game, thanks for sharing and that's from an old Liverpool fan. (Well done Arsenal)

Greed is not new. In football or anywhere else. Alan Ball used to leave his payslip ling around just to show the others he was paid more...ask Bob Wilson.

Look at the state of the pitch! Did they have tank battle as the curtain raiser?

I think this was the game that Phil Thompson was dropped for, and went to see Shanks the next day to ask why he'd been dropped. Shanks said "what? you should be thanking me for not making you play with that shower of shite, they're rubbish, they're all past it! you're the future son, you'll captain Liverpool and England someday". Thommo left the office feeling like a million dollars all pleased with himself. Haha, what a legend Shanks was.

Big Raddy,great player

I remember this game. The press highlighted the fact that motd highlights missed most of Arsenal's attacking play. The Sun headline on Monday...'So much magic slips past the beeb.' Don't ask me why I remember stuff like that. Match report by Peter Batt. I was a paper boy so I spose I just read 'em instead of delivering 'em! COYG

My first ever arsenal game, aged 10

it baffles me how we have never won another world cup with the talent that this country has produced! !!!

'72/'73 seems like '98/'99 season - should have won the league

i was there never forget this game we went top god the liverpool supporters were livid when alan ball took the penalty the cop through everything at him coins bottles he kept calm and scored

I think it was the best moment in all football ever. But Liverpool were dignified, and there was some applause as well.

Simply , It was football for enjoyment !

Great game, one of John Radford's finest for Arsenal!

Can you imagine a more apt person to score that penalty? Fantastic Radford goal. I always thought that (apart from Storey Kennedy and Ball), Arsenal's English players never got the recognition or the caps that they deserved: George, Armstrong, Simpson and Radford

Players who rode tackles rather than leaving their feet in to get free kicks. Managers who sat on the bench rather than prancing up and down the touchline screaming at the referee. Footballers who could control the ball rather than just being super big and super fit. Football when it mattered.

I must have been at the game, but I don't recall anything about it. I must have gone into denial! Looked like a cracking game.

Every single player back then was good I can reel the names off with no problems. I was Highbury for the return which I think ended 0-0 but Liverpool was the better side that day and Toshack hit the bar I went home feeling happy we escaped with a point.

I remember this game so well,typical backs to wall performance from The Arsenal, we should have won the league this season but draws against so called weaker teams, and Liverpool took the title then followed years of doldrums for Arsenal

Proper football with proper players, the modern players would have cried off if they saw that pitch !

Bob WIlson in goal before he became a commentor.

Look at the state of the pitch. It is a quagmire !! I do enjoy 1970s football. But more work was needed to improve the pitches. That is one of the advantages of modern football. Imagine the best of the 1970s players on better quality pitches ??? That would have been a great combination.

Arsenal beating Liverpool to go top. Crazy days. 😀 Funny that Ball gets mentioned as having his best game ever for Arsenal yet apart from the penalty he is hardly featured in these highlights. If I had to pick an Arsenal player based on this it would be Wilson or Radford.

the other Arsenal players: 5 Jeff Blockley, 6 Peter Simpson .... 10, Ray Kennedy, 11 Eddie Kelly

Derby won the previous season-Liverpool won that year with Arsenal in second.

Pourquoi john Radford ne jouait il pas avec l'équipe d'angleterre alors qu'elle n'avait plus d'avance centre . Peut être qu'avec lui, elle aurait joué la coupe du monde 1974

I think that players like Radford were tossed to the wayside because of Sir Alf's over- insistence on the '66 players made it difficult for others to break in. Yet when that time came to bleed new talent it was too late. Despite the likes of Keegan, Francis etc. coming into vogue, it was a rough transitional period.

England 1966 has three World Class players: Charlton, Moore and Banks. Others international class at best. By not having to qualify they had four years of resting on laurels and becoming too old and complacent. Even Charlton (at 32) was an old man come Mexico and couldn't do the full 90.
