UEFA Super Cup- Part Five (Liverpool vs. SV Hamburg, 1977)

The fifth edition of the UEFA Super Cup took place in the Fall of 1977, between the winner of the Champions Cup, Liverpool and the winners of the Cup Winners Cup, SV Hamburg.

The English side Liverpool had won their very first Champions Cup after defeating West German side Borussia Monchengladbach (3-1) at Rome on May 25^th, 1977.

They were continuing a dynasty at the top level following UEFA Cup wins in 1973 and 1976.

After the win, Liverpool’s star Kevin Keegan had joined their opponents for this Super Cup, SV Hamburg.

To replace the departing Keegan, Liverpool had enrolled, the Scottish Kenny Dalglish from Celtic Glasgow. The rest of this solid squad had remained intact.

The English contingent of Clemence, Neal, Smith, Thompson, Kennedy, Case, McDermott were complemented with the likes of the Irishman Heighway and the Welshmen Jones and Toshack.

The West German side SV Hamburg were an ambitious side that were a few years away from making an even bigger impact on the domestic and European Stage.

They had won the Cup Winners Cup on May 11^th, 1977 at Amsterdam by defeating the defending Champions Anderlecht (2-0).

The side contained new and future Internationals such as Kaltz, Magath, and Volkert. They had not only signed Keegan in the off-season but also Yugoslavian International defender Buljan.

They had replaced their Cup Winners Cup winning Manager Klotzer with Rudi Guttendorf in the summer. However, poor results had led to his sacking and Ozcan Arkoc now managed the side.

In fact both sides were struggling in their respective Leagues prior to this match and it was difficult to designate a clear favorite before these encounters.

The sides had met just a few months prior in a summer pre-season friendly as part of the Keegan transfer (3-2 Hamburg win), but not much could be read from inconsequential encounters such as that one.

The first leg was played on November 22^nd, 1977 at Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion.

The hosts Hamburg were missing a number of key players most notably Georg Volkert and Peter Nogly.

Keegan had declared that they would make the difference in Hamburg to have an easier time at Liverpool.

Snow (on the days leading up to the match) had made the field somewhat slippery.

Liverpool started the match in a better form but slowly Hamburg got into the rhythm.

They took the lead in the first half from a Ferdinand Keller volley in the 29^th minute.

A few minutes later, Liverpool defender Joe Jones was injured and he would be replaced with Tommy Smith.

Liverpool sensing Hamburg’s vulnerabilities started to press harder in the second half for an equalizer.

In the 58^th minute, Paisley replaced Jimmy Case with David Johnson. Dalglish was also moved further up and now Liverpool had four strikers.

The pressure paid off when in the 65^th minute, David Fairclough headed in the equalizer.

The match (ended in a (1-1) tie) had been largely unimpressive and many observers had likened it to a friendly match.

Liverpool Manager Bob Paisley stated, “We had the impression that neither side wanted to win the Super Cup”.

Keegan went further, he said, “we (SV Hamburg) were pathetic. The last two weeks we have played well, bit tonight we were terrible.”

The Second Leg took place at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on December 6^th, 1977.

Liverpool had the edge as the home team along with the away goal. They made a few modifications from the first leg. Tommy Smith started in defense in place of the injured Joey Jones. Terry McDermott would also replace Ian Callaghan in the squad.

For Hamburg, Jurgen Stars, Buljan, Eigl, Memering and Steffenhagen were out and replaced in the lineup by Kargus, Nogly, Bertl, Hidien and Georg Volkert.

Keegan had been apprehensive about his reception back at Liverpool, but fans greeted him well.

Phil Thompson gave Liverpool the lead in the 21^st minute and from then on it was one-way traffic with Hamburg unable to match Liverpool’s dominance at home.

Terry McDermott struck a memorable hat trick by scoring in the 40^th, 56^th and 57^th minutes.

At the (0-2) score, the Liverpool fans started chanting “Keegan! Keegan! What’s the score?”

In the second half the onslaught continued with Liverpool scoring four more goals.

After McDermott’s double strike in the 56^th and 57^th minutes, Hamburg made a double substitution in the 69^th minutes o limit the damage.

Kurt Eigl and Arno Steffenhagen went on for Keller and Zaczyk.

It was to no avail as Liverpool scored twice more in the closing stages through a Fairclough header and a Dalglish strike. Liverpool comfortably won this Super Cup (7-1) on aggregate.

It had been a brutal homecoming for Keegan. He would say  “I was disappointed from our point of view, because we were diabolical”. He also praised his former squad.

Liverpool would go on and win their second successive Champions Cup a few months later.

Memorable European Confrontations, Part 29-1977 Bastia vs. Torino

Bastia and Torino were paired in the Third Round of the 1977/78 UEFA Cup.

The Italians of Torino were one of the best Italian sides of the day. In fact they provided the backbone of the Italian National along with neighbors Juventus.

They contained a host of Italian Internationals such as Claudio Sala, Renato Zaccarelli, Eraldo Pecci and the twin strike force of Paolino Pulici and Francesco Graziani.

The Team managed by Gigi Radice had won the Scudetto just a couple seasons earlier in 1976. Torino had qualified from their opening rounds by defeating Cyprus’ APOEL Nicosia (3-0 home, 1-1 away) and Yugoslavia’s Dinamo Zagreb (3-1 home, 0-1 away).

The little known French club from the Island of Corsica had been built on a shoestring budget with many local players managed by Pierre Cahuzac.

The team was built upon the organizational talents of Claude Papi. They had recruited over the summer Dutch forward Johnny Rep from Valencia (replacing the Yugoslavian Dragan Dzajic who had departed back to Red Star Belgrade that summer).

In addition they had taken on loan two promising players from Saint Etienne: Jean- François Larios and Felix Lacuesta (with Jacques Zimako going in the opposite direction). The duo were deemed somewhat raw to make the first team and were at Bastia in search of playing time.

Bastia had already been the surprise of the Tournament by eliminating from their opening rounds: Portugal’s Sporting Lisbon (3-2 home, 2-1 away) and England’s Newcastle United (2-1 home, 3-1 away).

The first leg, on November 23^rd, was played at Bastia’s Stade Armand Cesari (Stade Furiani).

Given the fact that Stade Furiani was a small venue, there was some chatter whether the match should be held at a bigger venue, such as at Marseille, Paris or even nearby Ajaccio.

However, Bastia Manager Pierre Cahuzac insisted at their traditional venue, since they were used to playing there. In addition, many Bastia fans also protested at such an idea.

Torino were missing Renato Zaccarelli, who was unavailable due to suspension. Cesare Butti would start in his place.

Bastia were missing as much as five starters. The Yugoslavian goalkeeper Ognjen Petrovic, as well as Andre Burkhard, Louis Desvignes, Georges Franceschetti and Yves Mariot.

Marc Weller covered for Petrovic in goal, while youngsters like Larios and Lacuesta stepped up.

The unavailabilities forced Cahuzac to call up reserve team players (their Third Division side). Though regulations authorized five substitute players on the bench, Bastia could manage to find only four: Dominique Murati, Merry Krimau, Jose Graziani (namesake of the Torino star) and Pierre Mattei.

Cahuzac set the bar higher in this round since Torino were one of the best Italian sides.

It was the Italians who took the lead in the 23^rd minute. Claudio Sala crossed from the right side (on the ground level) for Pulici.

Pulici with one touch raised the ball up and in the air volleyed past Weller.

Undeterred Bastia kept attacking by pressing hard and fast with Papi at the center of most of their moves.

In the 37^th minute, Torino lost ball in midfield. Papi took the ball and gave it to Larios who sent Papi through to score.

Papi was also instrumental in Bastia’s winning goal. In the 62^nd minute, he crossed from the right side for Felix who immediately passed to Rep who scored the winner.

It was a slim lead and many still favored Torino for the Second Leg.

The Italian newspaper ‘Corriere della Sera’ declared that Bastia worthy of a place in the Serie A and Papi took most of the plaudits.

French National Team Manager Michel Hidalgo had been in the stands and was also impressed by Papi.

He now had an extra option in the number ten position.

The second leg, on December 7^th,  was played at Turin’s Stadio Communale.

Bastia were to be without François Felix, who had suffered a knee injury after an automobile accident.

Moroccan striker Merry Krimau was called up as his replacement.

For Torino Zaccarelli was back in the squad (Cesare Butti making way).

For most observers Torino were stronger on paper and should have won. Johnny Rep had lowered expectations by saying Bastia had only 10% chance of advancing (afterwards he would say that he never would have believed the outcome).

Torino attacked first and had Bastia regrouped in defense for most of the early going.

Despite this, it was Bastia who scored first. In the 19^th minute, Lacuesta released Rep on the right side. Rep would give it back to Lacuesta (back to his goal), who would lay it on for Larios to smash a hard shot from outside the box into the net.

(December 7, 1977, UEFA Cup, Torino 2-Bastia 3)

The joy was short-lived as just three minutes later Torino equalized. Patrizio Sala’s cross from left side was diverted by Orlanducci into the path of Graziani, who immediately turned and struck from the edge of the box.

Minutes later in the 28^th minute, Zaccarelli had to be substituted off by Fabrizio Gorin due to injury.

Two minutes into the second half and Torino took the lead to tie the aggregate score.

Claudio Sala crossed from the right side, Pulici headed it across to Graziani who trapped the ball and struck past Weller.

Bastia came back just three minutes later. In the 50^th minute, Rep gave the ball to Cazes on the left wing, who crossed the ball as Castellini was about to reach him and Krimau scored in the empty net.

In the action, Castellini had been struck in the knee by Luigi Danova and was forced to be substituted (Giuliano Terraneo came on).

Minutes later (54^th), Rep was booked after a retaliation foul on Mozzini. He had suffered repeated fouls by Caporale and Mozzini. He had been booked in a previous encounter and would therefore miss the next match.

In the 65^th minute, Bastia completed the upset by scoring the winner. After breaking up a Torino attack, Papi released Krimau who only had the goalkeeper to beat.

It had been a rare home defeat for Torino. Given their standing, Cahuzac felt this victory was a significant achievement.

Afterwards, the French questioned the refereeing of Welshman Clive Thomas, whom they felt had been biased towards the home team, especially given that Torino were uncharacteristically very physical.

Torino President Orfeo Pianelli felt his Team had placed too many men upfront, which was a mistake against a team like Bastia.

Larios also said that he had not felt such joy. He felt the victory was particularly special for himself and Lacuesta, who had bore the brunt of criticism at Saint Etienne.

Bastia won its sixth straight match in the competition vs. Torino.

Torino would go on and finish third in the Italian League.

Bastia built up on this success and in the quarterfinals (Spring 1978) eliminated East Germany’s Carl Zeiss Jena. In the Semifinals, they eliminated Swizterland’s Grasshoppers Zurich to reach the Final.

However, their adventure ended at the Final vs. Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven who defeated them at home (3-0) following a scoreless tie at Furiani.

Bastia’s run in the UEFA Cup is part of French Football folklore and is referred as ‘L’Epopee de Bastia’.

Claude Papi’s performances helped him earn a place in France’s 1978 World Cup squad in Argentina at the end of that season.

Papi would tragically pass away on January 28, 1983 aged just 33 due to an aneurysm rupture.
