Liverpool vs Arsenal 1987

[* ORM *]

Littlewoods Cup Final was on ESPN classics last night. What a rare pleasure it was to see hard tackles going in from both teams without the diving, whingeing, free-kicks etc. Both sets of players dusted themselves down and got on with it. In today's game I reckon there would have been a dozen yellow cards.

And Arsenal's winner came with a cruel deflection from Ronnie Whelan.

I love watching the classic games on ESPN. Always reminds me of how the game should be played and what a poor shadows of itself it has become.

They should have played the 1989 clash.
Football didn't get any more thrilling than that.
