Southampton v Liverpool full match 16 March 1984

[Gloucester Saint]

Was a rare midweek live game on BBC. Thanks to The Saints Adam for putting this on YouTube. THAT goal by Danny Wallace is on 51 minutes if you want to skip to that.

Just checked - YouTube says 1983 but it was definitely 1984. Quite a treat as a kid to have Saints live on BBC midweek back then. Blackburn cup replay night have been as well?

Thanks for posting.

IIRC we were on live TV twice in 6 days. This match was on the Friday night on BbC 1 and the previous Sunday our FA cup quarter final at Sheffield Wednesday had been on live on iTV. 
 

(and yes the previous round at Blackburn in the cup was also live on TV)

I have the VHS tape "Race for the championship" covering the 83/84 season. Narrated by Brian Moore it details the battle for the league title between Liverpool and Manchester United, apparently oblivious to the fact that United finished fourth in a two-horse race. Talking about this game he refers patronisingly to "two of the most unexpected goals of the season". Right at the end he adds a by-the-way, "Southampton finished second".

Weds away here. Horror miss from Frank Worthington.

Won the replay 5-1 IIRC, Imre Varadi missed a chance to put them 2 up and then we scored 3 in 20 minutes.
