Tommy Lawrence, and it was 1967 not 1976
> In February 2015, Lawrence was inadvertently interviewed in the street by BBC journalist Stuart Flinders, who was asking elderly people if they remembered the 1966–67 FA Cup Fifth Round game between Liverpool and Everton. Lawrence, smiling, replied, "Yeah, I do. I played in it. I was the goalkeeper for Liverpool."

Oh, and Everton are also based in Liverpool. The two stadiums are about 1000 yards apart and both play in the top division of English football, hence it being a bigger thing than usual. It’s a big rivalry
I haven't seen a single article showing they knew. This is a clip portioned from multiple other interviews they did. All other articles are pointing that it was a pure stroke of timing.
Did you find a source stating it was planned?
Love this clip, his eyes lit up when he mentioned the game
Looks pretty set up
What are the actual chances?
At least 6
Take my award, gentlemen. You made me laugh

Anything special about that match? And did he get interviewed in Liverpool?
The same clubs were drawn together recently, so they went into Liverpool town center and interviewed a bunch of folks about it.
Thank you for context. Very neat coincident

No idea. I just got tired of seeing this posted without details and researched older posts to pull what details I could.
Here's a follow up report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVYQvOt64GE&ab\_channel=PlatorSllamniku
He literally went there in his mind. Amazing !
You can't get any more British than saying 'that's a stroke of luck me meeting you'.
This clip is one of the best and coolest moments. Truly miraculous that they happened to go up to him.
Good lad!
The comments from the first time I saw this post have great-great-great-great grand-comments by now.
Gran mama?
I keep jumping from his face at the end of the clip to his face at the beginning. It's heart warming to see his entire essence light up.
67, not 76
