Supported United since 1968...George Best is my all time hero, yet, this goal by Jimmy is my favourite of all time. The occasion, the opposition and his celebration - truly magical.

Mixed memories with this one. I was a 19 year old huge Liverpool fan and seen them several times in the 78-79 season. My mates brother worked in a pub called “The Dart Inn” owned by Kenny Dalglish’s father in law. He arranged for my mate George and me to meet Dalglish at the holiday Inn in Liverpool to pick up the tickets for the replay at Goodison. We got to the hotel and saw the team in the foyer. Dalglish was like God to me but I couldn’t bring myself to go in with George to get the tickets ( regret to this day) Upshot of course we were beaten by Greenhoff’s goal. To get home we were going by train and had to change at Wigan station Me and him sat in a carriage surrounded by Man U fans and us trying to sing United songs and look happy. Absolutely shiting ourselves cos we thought they were gonnae find our Liverpool scarves. Got home in one piece. Happy days.

Probably my favourite Utd memory of all time. Had gone to the first game but dad wouldn't let me go on the Weds given I was only 13 (just as well I suppose cos I believe it was mayhem). No one gave us a chance in the replay and listened to the game on Radio 2 - when we scored people from a dozen houses in our Salford street ran out to celebrate - just not the same anymore.

I was 8 years old when this replay was played, we knew the highlights were going to be on Sportsnight and we didn't know the result. Because it was Liverpool playing my Dad let me stay up and watch. I wasn't aware of the Liverpool and Man Utd rivalry before this game but watching the match I Instinctively knew that when these two play it matters more than any other encounter. The passion from the players, the atmosphere in the stand, even watching it on TV you felt that instantly. Gutted when Jimmy Greenhoff got the winner, I think it was the only time I was reduced to tears at the end of a game of football, but I knew at that point there was no bigger encounter than Liverpool v Man Utd.

The good old days when FA Cup semi finals had replays and weren't played at Wembley

Mickey Thomas was such an underrated player for United. He loved playing for us as well and showed it.

The best United kit ever!

I remember watching this on Sportsnight aged 9 with my older brothers. This was proper FA cup football. No Wembley semi final, no penalty shootouts, John Motson commentary, replays forever. My love for United was sealed after this win.

Having the FA Cup semis at Wembley all started in 1993 when the two Sheffield clubs made it to the semi's, along with Spurs and Arsenal. It was meant to be a 'one off' occasion not to be repeated in future seasons; but it proved such a popular move that the FA decided to keep it like this......and it's been like this ever since. Apart from when Wembley was out of action (between 01 and 06).

Wonderful memories. I was 9 and in bed for school, my Dad came in and told me the result. I thought we were dead after the 2 2 draw.

I remember that jimmy greenhoff goal and his celebrations after it as if it was yesterday

I’ve held a season ticket from 1977 to now and still have never celebrated since like I did when Greenhoff scored that goal at Goodison. I watched the match on VHS when I got home after a very lively time outside after the match between both sets of fans. What amazing commentary, the master craftsman…. I met Jimmy Greenhoff twenty years later, he was a sales rep for a wallpaper company. If he played today he’d be earning millions.

Look how classy the management teams were back then.

I went to both games and the replay was even more intense than the first game. To be honest, I thought we'd blown it after the draw at Maine Road but the lads showed tremendous fight that night at Goodison. It was the cup and anything can happen in a one-off game but Liverpool were a different side in the league and the name 'machine' was well-deserved. They were relentless, which was something United and other teams failed to get to grips with. Still, I remember Mickey T's cross and Jimmy Greenhoff's header flying into the net with fondness some 38 years later.

Me too - United fan, but Liverpool ruled Europe. We always stopped them doing the double or treble though, especially in 1977!!! Those were the days when you’d follow the English teams in Europe in a healthy manner - like Forest, Liverpool and Villa, obviously not United, and you’d want them to win. I know I did.

We were all banned by my dad from listening to the radio commentary, as he was very superstitious and that by watching the highlights on yhe telly later on, Liverpool were bound to win. But of course, that meant not knowing the score of the live match. I couldnt resist and i turned on the radio gram, keeping the volume really low...just as jimmy Greenhoff scored that goal...i was only 11 at the time, but for years, i was made to feel that my actions caused us to lose this match!

Ahhh......yes..... the good-old days of English Football, when players played for "The Crest On Their Chest", no names on their backs, no shirt sponsors, and sometimes they wore different numbers in successive matches (a player might wear #10 in a match, the next match that same player might wear #11 or #9) and nobody ever complained about how much $$$ they made in a season. As an American (California-born in 1966 and raised, and now living in Port Townsend, Washington since 1987, and I support Arsenal) my first exposure to the English game came in 1977 through "Star Soccer" on certain PBS stations (like KCET channel 28 in my old turf in Los Angeles) with the late Mario Machado calling the action in the old Football League Division One/First Division in a one-hour capsulized form on Saturday afternoons. Nowadays, you look at tickets that are higher priced than some workers' paychecks, the average fan is now relegated to catching the match on TV or on the radio (or worse through a sketchy illegal stream with malware/ransomware/viruses in it) rather than being at the match itself, football is now a business involving MILLIONS of pounds/euros/dollars in transfer fees, especially during the open transfer windows in August and January, and unfortunately now most of us common folk (like myself) can't afford to go see our heroes on the pitch where it was the most electric of atmospheres in which you can never replicate on TV, even with all the video technology in the world.

Ugh! Arsenal. I remember the final of '79. After this game, United played Arsenal in the final. It was United's third final in four years. The 1977 final is the first match I remember watching. I was 7 at the time. Nine-year-old me went through hell during the 1979 final. I was staying at my uncle's, like I had done for most weekends for a couple of years since my aunt died around '75/'76. We'd built a goal in his back garden out of chicken wire and 2 x 4. With Arsenal 2-0 up with 10 minutes left, I decided to go outside for a dejected kickabout. Then he came to the back door and called me to say that United had scored. So I ran back in for the replay. But, thinking United were still dead and buried, I went back outside. He called me over almost immediately to say that United had scored again! I ran back in and decided to stay to watch the last couple of minutes. Then came Arsenal's last attack of the 90 minutes. A run down the left, the ball floated over Bailey and at the back post came Alan fucking Sunderland. I've never forgotten it. Three goals in the last four minutes. Fuck Arsenal. :'D

Agree, the colour red means so much to both clubs that in a "neutral"/one-off game it might seem unfair to give one of them the psychological edge. In cup games between the two, the only ties I can think of that were won by a team not wearing red were the Charity Shield in 1983 and the Cup semi-final in 1985. Every other time, red won (or didn't lose).

Nice to see a bit of respect on and off the pitch... If only the comments here lived up to what was uploaded. Obviously too much to ask.

I fully agree as we unfortunately live in the modern world full of trolls wokeys snow flakes ultra lefties curtain twitchers and sad people who are soft in the head who lack general toughness and who live a miserable life being passive aggressive hey

Mistake to play greenhoff in the final though as he's wasn't fit in ghosted through it. Ritchie woulda been better option

We were winning everything but could never beat United in a game in those days!

One thing I do remember about United in those days, and that in both the finals that we played in 76 vs Southampton and the arsenal in 79 both opponents wore yellow and United lost, but when we played Liverpool in the semi-final wearing white against liverpool wearing yellow we WON...just a thought....what would've happened if we played in the 79 final wearing white.....

I'm sure Southampton wore white that day? 1 May 1976.

Such a show

Mark Robins' goal v Forest in 1990 was a carbon copy. Unusual to see here on this upload both teams wearing their away kits.

Makes sense really - avoids giving either team the psychological advantage of wearing the red. It's a nice idea I think.

yerrsss, i was at this game

That away end at Goodson looked much bigger than it was in the 80s. Why did they change to a smaller terrace behind the goal?

What a great football. By the way...what is a replay? I don't know because I live in Spain...

see Andy Ritchie trying to come on as sub ? do you remember he scored a hat-trick against Leeds the previous week and was very unlucky not to play in the semi ....

Emlyn Hughes last game for Liverpool

I'll never understand why Liverpool would replace such a great (and reliable!) goalie as Clemence with that clown, Grobbelaar... Although, we didn't complain when he gave our Widzew a free pass to the semis in 1983... ;)

Recently visited Lodz, reminded me of Liverpool in the 80's.No offence meant by this,the people were very similar aswell.Great hospitality,loved the place.

Clemence states in interviews he wanted to leave after feeling it was just another day at the office with the win in Paris v Real Madrid to lift the European Cup but Phil Thompson seems to recall he wanted out as he heard Grobelaar was going to be number one. Both great keepers and gentlemen

I don't think Motson was ever a good commentator to be honest, and in his last 10 years or so he was an embarrassment. Not a very nice chap in person either, apparently. Agree about Coleman - with Brian Moore, the great TV commentator of the 1970s.

coleman v moore on cup final day total class the pair of them.

Motson was right, " jimmy greenhoff, the master craftsman". The ball in from Thomas was floated in & Greenhoff's fantastic technique generated the power to beat Clemence. Used to watch him fo it every week at Stoke. Natural goalscorer

I remember seeing the goal, and nothing else of the match. 30 seconds of Liverpool vs Manchester United is all we got up here in Scotland. In favour of... half an hour of carpet bowls. Bloody BBC Scotland!!

Always preferred him to Shilton and should have won more England caps for me. Commanded his area much better in my opinion. Strange how United tended to rise for the occasion against you. Went Anfield many times during the 80's and never seen us lose. Was there when you thrashed us 4-0 though with a Beardsley hatrick! Happy days.
