This Liverpool team was so good they had their own goal of the season competition!

Such great days before the decline of the game. A very special team I was privileged to have seen at the ground.

Love how there’s a separate sub-competition for goal of the season against Forest. That was a great Forest side, and they seemed always to bring the best out of Aldridge, Barnes and Beardsley.

Best Liverpool Team ever!

Liverpool 87-88 season ticket, MOST value for money.

The Goal created my McMahon is awesome must be one of the best goals of all time you dont see goals like that anymore the way he ran back to get the ball by the line is crazy they say Gattuso is crazy McMahon was a genius Best British Team of all time

Im Utd but Barnes was Brilliant! Fergi allways says not signing Gascoigne was his biggest regret but missing out on Barnes was in my opinion.

No one came in for Barnes and Liverpool were the only club to really show an interest. Although a fine winger at Watford, he exceeded anyone's wildest, expectations - many wrote him off as a bad signing.

Johnny Barnes - at the height of his powers this season

Just to correct things mate, they did a special, one off Liverpool goal of the season that year because it'd been such a good year for them. BBC league football coverage was all over the place back then because they had to share with ITV and live games were few and far between so whenever they did have a live game, nine times out of ten, it would have been a big game involving Liverpool. Unfair I know but there you go. The following season ITV got full exclusive rights for the next four years.

Is it me, or does the Rick Wakeman music just make this weirder?

As a Liverpool fan, I can't stop smiling.

Are you serious? Do you not see the superior teamwork involved in most of these goals? You must be thinking of overhead bicycle kicks and 90 yard volleys. These goals piss on anything today.

Does anyone here remember the goal Southampton scored in the 80's against Liverpool? I think Liverpool won 5-1 but Southamptons goal was the best goal I've ever seen. Started in their box then finished with an overhead kick. Seen it on a video years ago but since lost it. Would love it if anyone had a link for that

Craig N The goal that you're talking about, was scored by Danny Wallace, for Southampton against Liverpool at The Dell,which the Saints won 2-0. The match took place on 16th March, 1984,and was goal of the season for that year

Peter Beardsley didn’t show much emotion simply because he was more interested in getting home, having a good stare, eating a lumpy chicken wrap and having a go on his wife’s fronties.

If Liverpool were in Europe that year, they'd have walked the UEFA Cup, and done the same to the European Cup the following year. In my opinion, THE GREATEST Liverpool team of all time.

I lived in Liverpool at this time and went to both Anfield and Goodison a lot. Both teams were wonderful during the period, but some of the football Liverpool played at that time was out of this world. I seem to remember Forest were second to Liverpool and came to Anfield for a top of the table showdown and Liverpool destroyed them.

Wrong. It WAS BBC's goal of the season competition. There was no 'Liverpools own'. It didn't exist. Nobody had there own channel. It wasn't a VHS either in case you thought it might be. I remember being shocked that the BBC would do it for one club only. Especially at the time that there was an infatuation with Fergusons early Man Utd.

So I can’t pick out which of aldos goals are best

What's the music used

There's only one Peter Beardsley

No It is Match of the Day, just every contender was Liverpool goal. The first and only time it has ever happened.

And the kids today go on about how good footy is now lol

Liverpool were all over the BBC in this season. Most of the live Match of the Day's were Liverpool games and the few recorded highlights the at the BBC put our that year were Liverpool matches (the QPR, Arsenal and Man Utd games certainly were) I can remember them being on Sportsnight a lot that season too. Indeed this competition was promoted as a Liverpool Goal of the Season contest. They were THE outstanding team that season, no question, but the arse kissing got very tiresome for nonfans

Little did they know about Michael Thomas a year later.

No way was the best goals that season all Liverpool. Whitesides against Forest in a 2-2 draw in November of that season was better than half of these, Strachan also had a couple of belters and I doubt there weren't better goals than a lot of these from the other 19 clubs

Ridiculous. Great side, but fucking ridiculous "Look at how biased we can be" BBC late 80's shite. Still....only a bit to wait before Arsenal ended the party for good.

Also, O'Leary, at his peak too: he was widely rated as one of the finest centre-halves in Europe around 79-82, by the George Graham era, though, he was still good, but past his peak.

Messi would have definitely been seriously injured playing the same way back then.... How good would Barnes been when player can't touch him... Etc.

Bullshit.

It's amazing how many times the BBC goal of the season award has gone to some bog standard cross and header or just some bloke going clean through and knocking it past the keeper. I suppose they had a lot less footage to choose from back then. Plus you have to remember the standard was a lot lower in those days. In fact, before the back pass rule changed in 92 a lot of football played in the UK was practically unwatchable.
