It was the end of the Bill Shankly era and this great souvenir DVD, "Liverpool Vs Newcastle United FA Cup Final 1974" is the full story of that historic day.
Still bearing the scars of the 1971 FA Cup Final defeat and facing a Newcastle United team that had never lost a final, the Liverpool team knew that they had to be at their very best for the showdown at Wembley in 1974. The Merseysiders did not disappoint their legions of fans.
Despite a relatively unimpressive league campaign, Liverpool went into the 1974 FA Cup Final as favourites to lift the trophy. With 8 players remaining from the vanquished 1971 team, the club had consistency on their side; in Kevin Keegan they had a new match-winner amidst their ranks. The first half was a cagey affair with both sides keen not to concede, but the second period was a different story entirely. It was a lesson in total football as Liverpool passed its way around the Geordies, scoring three times, thanks to two goals from future England Manager Kevin Keegan and another from Steve Heighway. The day will long be remembered for the enduring image of Bill Shankly holding the red scarf above his head, celebrating the triumph.
This is a must-have DVD for Liverpool fans around the globe. Re-live the whole game again and again and enjoy the post-match jubilation and interviews with Shankly and the players.
