For anyone who hasn't seen it before, here is the Liverpool vs Alty game from the FA Cup 3rd round tie in January 1981. Very early days of club produced match videos so it's fair to say it's not of Alty TV standard but what a great historical document of a fantastic day and time. Enjoy!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

Was it Alan or Ray Kennedy who had the £5 bet with Heathcote on his scoring our penalty?

Alan. I think Graham Heathcote is still waiting for his winnings. I hope he charges interest!  :D

I am a Manchester United fan and there I was, standing in front of the Kop waiting to take a penalty. Kennedy came up to me and bet me £5 that I would miss it. But I only missed two penalties in my entire non-league career and I wasn't about to make a fool of myself in front of the Kop. I was nice and calm, put the ball past Clemence and stood in front of the Kop fans taking the applause, they were pretty decent about it. Then Kennedy came up to me in the players' bar afterwards and gave me a fiver.
