First season going the match regularly as an 8yr old. Just a magical season. Standing Kop, King Kenny, Adidas Tango, first Liverpool Adidas kit, big Jan bossing everything, epic battles with Everton. Still gutted jammy QPR knocked us out of the League Cup - would have been a treble against Oxford in the final. Have seen much better Liverpool teams over the years (had a season ticket for 30 years now) but this team will always be my favourite - pure nostalgia for me.

And what a penalty that was by Gillespie! An outstanding defender

What a great commentator Brian Moore was. Worth a thousand Martin Tyler’s Happy days

Martin's what?

What a fantastic team Liverpool had then,easily the greatest English team that played the game.Simply majestic and so inventive.6>1.Amen.

Thanks for uploading,I remember going this match when I was 15,Rush and Molby argued over who was taking that penalty at the end and we all started singing "Gary Gillespie Gary Gillespie" and he got given it in the end to score his hat-trick

I remember the Gillespie hattrick. Just a great team during that era.

Me too. Rush couldn’t buy a goal that game. Classy to let GG take the penalty for his hat-trick, taken with aplomb . I seem to also remember two utility players also getting hat-tricks: Nicol, and in a league cup game, and playing up front, of all places (he also played in goal in another game), Staunton. A real team.

@@angelomicciche3044 Yeah I think at one stage Liverpool had a starting team in circa 1990 where most players had hat tricks under their belt - Gillespie, Staunton, Nicol, Whelan, Molby, McMahon, Barnes, Beardsley, Rush, Rosenthal

I was 8 at this match and always wondered why that Gary Gillespie chant has been stuck in my head. It was this match which I remember going but not any details. We had to sit with the Birmingham fans apparently because it was the only way to get in on the day, so my dad told me after aI told him I found this match here. Glad I found the Gary Gillespie chant reason. It’s bugged me ever since as he wasn’t great, but that’s the one chant that got stuck in my head. It still pops into my head randomly and I start chanting it out loud if alone to this day lol.

Birmingham City were already relegated and we went onto lose our last seven games. Strange team though. 1.David Seaman, 2.Brian Roberts, 3.Julian Dicks, 4.Jim Hagan, 5.Mark Smalley, 6.Ray Ranson, 7.Stuart Storer, 8.Wayne Clarke, 9.Nicky Platuner, 10.Billy Wright, 11.Robert Hopkins.

A sprinkling of familiar names there all right. Having stayed up by the skin of their teeth in 1983,Birmingham were relegated on the last day of the season in 1984,promoted in 1985 and soundly relegated again in 1986. West Brom's catastrophic crash out of the top division kept Birmingham off the bottom.

I was at this game as 12 year old and can be seen to the left of Ronnie Whelan on 2mins 58 - stood up, stupid bobble hat looking down to the left at my Dad. Happy days. Only tried to find this as we were talking about it today while at the Gerrard All Stars Charity Match.

Brilliant how the players told Gillespie to take the penalty as he'd probably never had a chance for a hat trick before

I remember standing in the Kop as a kid loving my team

no more fervent Red than me, but you'll never see a goal further offside than the fourth one...GG is literally behind every single opponent when it comes off Rush :-D

Good spot - I had never noticed that before. Maybe the linesman thought the ball went backwards off Rush, or came off the defender.

First game I went to, 8 years old, sat in the main stand. Saw the Kop and thought 'thats where I wanna be'. So next game I did.

Interesting list of names in that Birmingham team. A list of soon to bes and never weres. Seaman(Arsenal legend) in goal,Julian Dicks(shudders at the thought) Billy Wright(ex Everton)Ray Ransome(ex Man City) Wayne Clarke(soon to be Everton.)

Christ, how big was Jan Molby, though!? But what a touch.

My dad took me to this for my very first match. Anfield blew my mind. In the back of the Kop. Not a bad first match either! Always had a very soft spot for Reds due to this.

Liverpool v Birmingham seems a slighty odd first game for a Leeds fan! (I'm just jealous - I'm glad you enjoyed it.)

I was at this match. I was 8.

Extend that to 1990.

NEXT STOP! LEICESTER AWAY!AW REMEMBER? WHEN HUGH JOHNS USED TO SAY "ONE-NOTHING!ONE NOTHING!" AW WHAT A VOICE!

Ian Molby was supposed to take over the playmaker job vacated by Graeme Souness. He did it very well in this 1985/86 season but did not last long. Soon King Kenny had to tweak the formation where Peter Beardsley was the playmaker in a no 10 position.

That shows that these type of tactics were not invented in the 2010s as a lot of these modern pundits will have us believe.

Remember going to the game met Steve Nicol in the car park wat a nice bloke good laugh

Imagine the screaming and antics of todays players demanding a penalty for being body checked in the box....commentators coming out with the now over-used expression 'ooooh there was contact'......refs seem to have forgotten the indirect free kick in the box. Imagine having contact between two players in a contact sport.....shocking.....😉

Seaman was a big chance missed by Liverpool. They should have seen his quality back then.

The one we missed out on was Peter schmeichel

Molby's pen was poor. Seaman should have well saved that

Met Gary and what a really lovely guy he is

CRIKEY!LIVERPOOL WERE SEEMINGLY UNSTOPPABLE AT ANFIELD THAT SEASON.ONLY EVERTON WON THERE.EVEN TOTTENHAM LOST 1-4!DAVID SEAMON IN GOAL!FORMER PETERBOROUGH,ARSENAL AND ENGLAND GOALKEEPER.BIRMINGHAM FELL AWAY TOWARDS THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON.OH FANTASTIC DAYS!

I'm a liverpool fan and have been for life but i can't watch a match if Gary Gillespie is joint commentator.Every single game he commentates on he gets so many things wrong.plus at times I'd say he was against Liverpool. He's the most boring man on tv.Id gladly pay or get a petition going to get shut of that man.John Bradley must be gutted working with him.They had a tiff over Manè being fouled outside the box against city.Surely he's not needed.Cant liverpool just have John Bradley or have Kris Kirkland or anyone else other than that man.Klopp or the owners please sack the idiot.
