Played for the love of the game, not for the love of money.
I agree the best thing about playing is enjoying yourself. I look back at playing as a youth and I remember the enjoyment it gave me.
Money is obviously a greater motivator than love. These guys look terrible compared to modern players!
Well since then training techniques, tactics, equipment, understanding of the human body and dietary needs have improved greatly. A lot of these lot used to smash a few pints after the game and then go back to their jobs in a coal mine, couldn't really call them athletes.
@@berbatov3890 Money is a greater motivation because people are weak. I just hope you ain't a money lover or something
there are players today who play for the game just stop
I love it when I see old soccer, it is so interesting and beautiful 🤩

@@crazyhaz123 I call it soccer
@@Xlizhy😅❤⚽️eu sou fascinado por coisas antigas esses futebol em preto e Branco essas imagens além disso tbm sou fascinado pela história do Santos Dumont o pai da aviação adoro ver as imagens antigas!
i thank the gods for You Tube every time . Beyond club dvds how else could we enjoy stuff like this or WBA v Everton in 1968 or the sight of 2 million behind the Sunderland goal in 1951 or Bobby Stokes’ offside winner in 1976 ? It’s one brilliant thing about being in the future! 😁👍🐢
Absolutely great video sir! Cheers mate!
goal keeper gets ball, immediately punts it as far as possible 😂
😂😂
Porque valia o contato e se empurrar o goleiro e a bola pra dentro do gol será validado
Great to see footage of Lol Hamlett of Bolton, later a great servant of Port Vale as player and trainer. Lol was given 2 testimonials by the Vale in 1976 and 1984.
My Grandad was at that game and there was MORE than 60k in that ground at the time. The camera angle does not show the huge West Stand which could hold 30k at that time at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea always had massive support......
legendary video
Very memorable event
Rev Hunt - legend!
Crazy how massive Bolton Wanderers actually are
I mean, no one going to talk about the grass? The ball bounced everywhere?
Lucky they had grass to play on lol. I’d imagine most of the time they play on dirt and mud
Maguire would still struggle
😂😂
13:08 looks like Freddie Mercury is exercising.
Is there any information about where the scenes were filmed?
stamford bridge
Aye it were grand, the old art of trapping the ball. Quick orf the Mark.
Man if i had a time machine i would go back and school these fools
Disrespect. Playing in footwear similar to workbooks, not conducive to control of the ball, which by the way wasn't far off a medicine ball when soaking wet. Generally terrible pitches, like paddyfields in the winter. Not like the bowling greens today. Referees who let a heck of a lot go and did not protect the attacking players like today. I'm not advocating a return to those hard times but please don't insult those who went before.
@@crawfordgalbraith73 exactly u right
If it wasn't for ' these fools' you wouldn't even have the beautiful game we have today. Show some respect.
@Almighty know more than you
@@crawfordgalbraith73 have u played street football in africa. Its pretty similar minus the ball type. Its not as bad as people make it
What about that commentator ... typical middle class southern English accent
But at least he is speaking properly unlike a lot of TV presenters who have forgotten how to speak their own language and cannot pronounce simple words.
@@user-qt3dg3qn6x How many people do you know, who speaks like that ???
“ the plucky underdogs’ incredible cup run finally ends when its club Doctor is removed …” ( 20 years ago on BBC R4 i heard a Stanley Matthews interview in which he recounted telling the club Dr he was suffering from terrible flu & couldn’t face that afternoons’ very important semi final game . Dr handed the player a pot of pills saying “ these are powerful vitamins- take 3 & you’ll be as right as rain “ …Matthews went on to score a hat trick , got home & couldn’t settle so he caught up with gardening, read every magazine in the home ,couldn’t sleep & was scolded by his wife for using the vacuum as she tried to sleep because he couldn’t …! )😆
Back when football was played for the love of the game not the love of money. My god how things have changed. Football was a passion back then now majority of players nowadays just see it as a big fat paycheck
Millwall v Chelsea in front of a large unsegregated crowd.
Here, wait a minute....this Chelsea win is the South war time final - not the real thing!
I like how they shake hands properly before the match, and not that stupid biker handshake.
When England was really english.
You mean after invaders from what is now Denmark and Germany had pushed the British into Wales and Cornwall. Then the Normans (second generation Vikings) turned up. And if you go far enough back, we all came out of Africa anyway. So remind me who the English are?
Look at those car-free streets!
This is written by someone called Reg so you can tell it’s for the working classes
that heading game over the nets would be banned now
why?
When soccer players didn’t made that much money and the sport was for the people and the people only!!
The World Name, for The World Game is FOOTBALL ...Fact !.
Gracias británicos por inventar el fútbol 😍
it wasn’t them
This is a war, not football.
imagine if I would be a time traveler and go there show them my skills how they might be amazed lol
And your bright orange plastic boots.
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Tom lawton was the best players in year's 1940's
I dont think i saw one pass, its just boot it to clear or shoot
you're not really that dense are you? game theory was way less developed and the quality of equipment was way worse. If you thought having a bumpy pitch is bad imagine what they had.
also 3:35 for passes :)
@@KIoakk less dense than them at least
@@skinnymon123 in what way?
@@skinnymon123 yeah, valid point with great reasoning!
It’s crazy how many people don’t know Soccer was originally called...Soccer.
The name 'soccer' originates from Association Football, so you're wrong. It was only used to keep American Football and Association Football apart. Therefore it's football.
@@alexanderdesevaux3908 That's just wrong lol. It was used as a slang for association football which is the original word for the sport. Soccer is one of the different codes of football. Ancient Roman games of harpestum were the original names of football.
It was always called 'Football'. But the game wasn't codified, hence Webb Ellis picking the ball up. So Rugby Football was borne and then differentiated from Association Football. The working classes who played and watched Association Football in the North of England called it 'football' as did most in the South too. It was Middle and Upper classes, those who were more likely to have gone to university (where Rugby was the chosen sport) who referred to the nickname 'Soccer'. And of course, from those universities came the broadcasters, authors and journalists who would routinely do likewise. Even amongst them, the term had largely died out by the 1960's.
F.I.F.A. is The World Football governing body ... I will now tell you what it stands for ... F federation I international F football A association ... as The World Name, for The World Game is FOOTBALL ... Fact!.

Back when people didn't whine about someone calling their sport 'soccer' which is the right word for this code of football.
Association football
ok, but what's soccer?
@@yuvinho it’s a sport where you kick a ball into a goal

@@wsg8283 sus
When football was a knight sport, not a disgusting show like nowdays
today’s teams would blow out these lads come on
BOLTON WANDERERS FC ....BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Big Sam era
the White kids are so clumsy
They were very bad 😂
Yes, it WAS once great but once world cups and European competitions came into the game, it got too serious whereby winning at all costs, diving, trying to get an opponent sent off, became normal behaviour.
I don’t think you watch or go to matches. These old films reveal a standard of play you would expect from a modern village team. And the modern game is largely played in a very sporting way.
@jontalbot1 Why would l want to, it was more physical then with strikers earning every penny after 90 minutes of being kicked to pieces. You now get the pathetic scenario of players diving over an opponents foot and defenders putting their arms behind their backs so as not to hive away a penalty. Overpaid dross.
@@user-qt3dg3qn6x I have been going to matches since 1968 for my own team and many others as l have lived in different parts of the country. The standard is far higher now than it has ever been, the stadiums are better and the fans better behaved. The proof is in the attendances at all levels. Even teams in levels 9 and 10 try to play the game properly. Why don’t you give it a try and support your local team? You might enjoy it and make friends.
