TOTTENHAM 2 LIVERPOOL 0 #retro #reading #liverpoolfc #lfc #tottenham

Firstly and importantly, a sincere thank you to @DaveWallerLFC as without his videos my long running retro series of writing would not be possible.

I can't recommend his channel enough and his wealth of Liverpool videos is a superb resource and I thank you once more Dave.

"Although the two Tottenham goals would appear in the second half, the template for the game as a whole was settled very early in the first half with Glenn Hoddle, socks already nearing his ankles pulling the strings and splaying passes beautifully around a packed White Hart Lane. Alongside Hoddle was his busy bee like Captain Perryman and Mabbutt in midfield and the trio continually set Tony Galvin in motion on the wing or with incisive passes to the front two strikers of Brazil and Archibald. Liverpool didn’t feature as an attacking threat at all in the first half as first Hoddle released Archibald before he fired over Grobbelaar’s crossbar and Hoddle himself fizzing a fantastic strike just past the Liverpool goalkeeper’s post. With Liverpool struggling to gain any foothold in the game Mabbutt set Brazil clear who saw his fierce shot well saved by a busy Grobbelaar and the first half closed at 0–0 only due to the wonderful goalkeeping of Grobbelaar who saved well from a rasping high shot from Tony Galvin".

This is volume 2 of 26 (hence far) in my retro series of writings that I started as a happy accident and am now pleased to bring you here. Although not contained within the opus book to Liverpool FC linked below, please consider taking a peek at a self-published book I'm immensely proud of and, if you are able, there are further ways and means also linked in which you can support me to thumb the eye of the traditional publishers who refused to read my original manuscript!
