Barry Endean knocks Liverpool out of the Cup
It’s the FA Cup first round tomorrow so here is a clip of Watford who were struggling in the second division beating Bill Shankley’s Liverpool in 1970. Barry Endean scored the diving header but check out the nutmeg in the build up.
Shankley was not impressed, stating that he would not have gone to watch Watford had he lived in the town and was given a free ticket. It was a pivotal game in the history of Liverpool though. The defeat here prompted Shankly to break-up his trusted 60s side, realising some of the players here, notably Lawrence, Yeats, St.John and Strong were way past their best. Within the year he’d introduced Lloyd, Toshack, Heighway and most importantly, Keegan to the side.
