 The FA Community Shield has a special place in the heart of most football fans. It may not always - or ever - be your own team that is taking part, but it signals one important thing: after a couple of long, painful months without the beautiful game, football is officially back and raring to go. With sides being fierce city rivals, there is added spice. Can United continue their supremacy within Manchester - and England - for another season? Or did City's win in The Semi-Final of The FA Cup signal that the balance of power is about to shift?

There wasn’t much goodwill, and precious little football on show, the first time the Charity Shield was held at Wembley. Liverpool beat Leeds United on penalties but the result hardly mattered. The match disintegrated into a series of niggling fouls and ill-tempered clashes, culminating after an hour in a stand-up fist fight between Liverpool’s Kevin Keegan and Leeds captain Billy Bremner. Sent off, they threw their shirts to the ground as they left the field, an image that went around the world and brought condemnation. It was a bitter disappointment for Ted Croker, the FA secretary, whose idea it was that from 1974 the match would pit the champions against the FA Cup holders at Wembley. He made sure that Bremner and Keegan, the first players sent off at Wembley, knew they had disgraced English football. Instead of the usual one- or two-match ban, they were each suspended for 11 games and fined £500, a huge sum in those days.

The Charity Shield match was between 1978/79 Football League champions, Liverpool, and 1978/79 FA Cup winners Arsenal.It was business as usual at Wembley as Liverpool continued where they had left off at the end of the previous season by once again illustrating why they were regarded as the best team in England.This time Arsenal were the victims as Bob Paisley's ruthless winning machine produced a performance that must have chilled every topflight manager to the bone with a crushing 3-1 success.New signing Avi Cohen watched on from the bench and must have wondered if we would ever get a game as a Terry McDermott double and one from Kenny Dalgish left the FA Cup winning Gunners soundly beaten.Not even a consolation goal from cup final hero Alan Sunderland could raise Arsenal spirits as the Reds ran out worthy winners.As the full-time whistle blew to bring a welcome end to the Londoners' misery, Liverpool stepped up to claim their fourth Charity Shield outright.It would set the tone for the remainder of the season as the Reds surged to yet another League Championship, with McDermott picking up both the PFA and Football Writers' Player of the Year awards.

If Alan Shearer is the most costly individual to walk the turf of legends, Eric Cantona demonstrated at Wembley yesterday afternoon that he remains the most precious. For, while Shearer pined for the ball that seldom came, while Manchester United outpaced, outplayed and outwitted the pretenders from the North East, it was Cantona ­ one-fifteenth the cost of the £15 million Shearer ­ who inspired and led the Double-winners to such an emphatic victory in the FA Charity Shield. One is tempted to say that here was an ordinary man, elevated by birthright and by his goals among Englishmen, competing against one who is extraordinary, who is French, and who reached yet again the extremes of wonderful touch and vision. Cantona might also have been sent off when his infamous temper erupted in the second half, but he received merely a yellow card for a physical assault on Philippe Albert that prefaced the turn from sunshine to a glowering late thunderstorm. But how Manchester United proved their worth. It was not all about Shearer, and never could be. There is no point in possessing an idol, indeed in having £16.25 million of spare talents on the bench, if you are not a team, and from the start, as Newcastle groped for a pat tern, the other United were first into their stride, first to flow. They commanded midfield through Keane and Butt. At the back, May and Pallister stretched stride for stride with Shearer and Ferdinand.
