Tennent's FA Charity Shield Arsenal v Liverpool
Match of the Day celebrates its 25th birthday.
Back in August 1964, the programme kicked off its life with a League match between Liverpool and Arsenal. It was 3-2 to the Merseysiders that day, but that's no contemporary form guide! The match highlights plus a liberal dose of nostalgia, presented by Barry Davies , with comment from Jimmy Hill and commentary from John Motson.
