As a massive Beatles fan (with no links to Merseyside or it’s football teams) I must’ve seen this clips many times since the 1980’s….and it never loses it appeal, & makes me nostalgic for an era that existed 10 years before my birth 😁

That was brillant! Being a red since 1971 at 9y. I would have loved to have seen this team however have been lucky over the years to the great players & teams. My favourite was 1974 - 1977 in my youth.
