Liverpool 1 Albion 2 - 5th Rnd FA Cup 1983

This much asked for game is now available on Google video, the file size is huge (500mb) as its the whole 90 minutes and quality has been compromised a tad. When viewing set the goggle video window to original size. There is no commentary but there is the crowd noise which is incredible especially when the Ryan and Case score.

Enjoy, we need cheering up.

Top marks Burrish. Great memories, what a game.

Takes a long time to load, for those of you without the patience to watch the whole of this incredible match you can pause it and let it load in while you do something else. Then use the following timings for the best bits.

Google video timings;

35 mins 0-1
1 hour 14 mins 1-1
1 hour 15 mins 1-2 (18 seconds from restart after the equaliser!)
1 hour 20 mins penalty miss



Its also worth watching the last few minutes for the amazing celebrations, including Melias hilarious run towards the Kop.

Amazing. I have waited 24 years to see those goals. I was on the Kop where Ryan scored and didn't see much of it as the crowd surged forward. I had always pictured P.Ward crossing and Ryan tapping in. It looked like Robinson though.
Haven't found the second half goals yet.

Cheers Exmouth,

I'll add those to the comments page on the Google Video page for reference, hopefully have the Newcastle 79 promotion up soon.

This was one of my top three Albion Games

1st Liverpool 1-2 84 Cup match
2nd Hereford 97 armageddon
3rd Highbury 83 Cup semi final

I had no trouble with the scousers that day. A couple of huge scousers came up to me after on my way back to the coach and stopped me! They then shook my hand and said "Hope you go all the way" I managed to retract what I had just shat in my pants

Yep, it was Robinson, and that burst of speed into the box is a reminder of how good he was. Now Spains top TV football pundit of course, ala Gary Lineker.

I think that performance is why Liverpool bought him from us when we got relegated, class player who always ran his heart out for the club.
