I mean, I think we had a couple of seasons where we didn't lose a game, which, you know, does happen, but doesn't happen very often.
That's mainly because it was intimidating.
And unlike now, the football, we used to get at teams, you know, so teams knew that we were going to come at them for 90 minutes.
It was none of this square passing them back, which the game's developed into now with the goalkeepers coming
probably getting more touches than anyone.
The last person we'd want to give the ball to was either Clem or Tommy Lawrence or Frankie Lane, if he played, because they weren't ever that good with the feet because they could pick it up in those days.
So, you know, the game's changed, but I still think the atmosphere that we played in front of them, because people were standing, I guess, which is a massive topic that they're still talking about, and Liverpool in particular.
will never be welcomed back but just when people are standing I think they they're more vocal you know and obviously I don't know 26 and a half thousand in the cot I mean it's down to 13 we see so it's half the size now so you can imagine twice as many people and maybe
a couple of thousand in the boys pen up in the top corner getting in for 35 pence old pens which was the future supporters place i mean they used to get loads in there i don't know health and safety would never never allow all these things now and rightly so but in those days it is the way it was
Well, I think they've had a dip into it with the first team, the Ron Yacy and St.
John, you know, Tommy Lawrence, that era.
They'd had a dip in it in Europe.
So I think the staff were very wise.
I mean, there's still a lot of funny stories with, you know, Ruben Bennett coming back and just could not pronounce the names of the Farencváros players to the point where...
having gone to watch them I think twice and travel wasn't as easy in those days and they were actually behind the Iron Curtain it's hard for people to understand that now but it was always more difficult to get into Russia and East Germany and obviously Hungary and Poland and these places when the Iron Curtain was up and he'd come back having been three times and
he he was had a real scottish accent and he could not get his name his his lips around the words and i can remember bill shankley saying to him he's trying to get the fourth or fifth and all the names sounded the same on the subutio board that we used to do the tactics on at melwood and shanks just thought hey reuben forget it it's how we play that matter and we just went out straight
And Ruben sat there to think, I've flown to Hungary three times to come back.
But we had a lot of expertise with Bob, with Joe Fagan, with Ronnie Moran, and then later with Roy Evans, who switched a good year after I joined to the staff, having played left-back a couple of times for the first team, I think, a few times.
So it was their knowledge, I think, that helped us.
And we had a good team.
