I am 78 years old now and I wish we could go back to these days, such wonderful football great players. Forgotten how good the commentators were back then, not the drivel dished up today. I feel sorry for fans today as the game is so poor today compared with yesterdays. Thank goodness I have my memories. Bring back real football.
I 68 now and agree totally,I just finished reading Big Chiv book, a great read
Great game. With no diving, players not dancing with corner flags or running al least once round the park when they scored, great days. Real men instead of todays over paid wimps. A cant get enough of these late 1960s and early 70s matches. Keep them coming mate!
Brilliant post, shows how football used to be in better times before the game was ruined by money . Some true greats playing in that game and for the love of it too . Deadly strike by the late great and the legendary Jimmy Greaves for the West Ham equaliser .
Just great to watch, without all of the rubbish that comes with the modern game . Thanks for posting 👏👏👏
What a cracking game. Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst & Trevor Brooking all in the same team!!! Wonderful memories. Stoke fan.
A happy land no players feigned injury in those days.Halifax fan.
I was at those cracking League cup games between West Ham and Stoke, Great memories
@@terencebates6808 Another Stoke fan enjoying this game
@@paulwebb6087 me too!
That goal of Greaves just about sums up the greatness of the man!
Found this match while looking for footage of Jimmy Greaves. Most of these players were my childhood heroes, especially Greaves, Peters and especially Big Pat.
My teacher at the time used to say “Greaves is good, Charlton is better, but Best is best”. High praise from a primary school teacher. His name? Mervyn “Sandy” Griffiths.
Wonderful days, long gone.
Greaves surely was the best for me. I loved watching him play at Spurs and at West Ham.
Took me back as if was yesterday. Names of players who I will never forget. Perryman what a servant to Spurs never stopped working for the team. Honest, committed players to the shirt and the integrity of the game. Loved it.
I'm neither a Spurs or West Ham fan. However the names of both sides roll off the tongue. Most of them were household names. I couldn't name hardly any of them today.
Two top London sides full of household names . Great memories. The golden age of football just brilliant to watch.
Hardly any household names in football today.
Some of Greats of yesteryears Alan Gilly” Gilzean -Martin Big Chiv” Chivers - Jimmy Hitman’ Greaves, Mike England, Jennings, Peters - Mullery Jeff Hurst -Bobby Moore -Bonds -Brooking , Goosebumps!, Class absolute Class.
Not only great players but some great teams in the 60s & 70s every club had star players in them days.
@@mick6370 And every club had it's hard man.
@@victorformosa2825 Yep your right Chopper Harris, Norman Hunter, Tommy Smith etc etc etc
And...Steve Perryman
@@Suve35967 he was just a softie.
I was at this game, first game I ever went to I was 11 years old.I was hooked it was so exciting
Sir Jimmy Greaves.
Brilliant player!!!!
when was he knighted?
@@solar_power, save my energy on you. Waisted!!!
@@steaks652 Two sirs on the pitch Brooking and Hurst... and Saint Bobby Moore
@@sagahammer, my point being he should have been knighted.
@@steaks652 No we can't have too many ex West Ham players with knighthoods. Other teams might get jealous.
Greaves was some player there was no doubt about that.
@paul smithJimmy Greaves the famous ex West Ham player.
I was there and still have the programme.......these players were top notch.......today`s wimps are overrated
Yes the quality of football was much better back then,better managers also,Malcolm Allison was my favourite manager then Clough later.Had Typhoo Tea pictures of most of these players pinned up on my bedroom wall
It seems to play out a bit faster as Brian Moore has very little time for the hopeless anecdotes we get from today's MC.
What a match, brought back memories from a golden age of English football, so many greats on the pitch. Loved it, thanks for posting
Fantastic! Jimmy Greaves and his old buddy Alan Gilzean.
What a time to watch football. Loved standing. Not a prawn sandwich in site.
Moore, Hurst, Brooking and Greaves, what a wonderful line up the Hammers had!
the great brian moore commentator with jimmy hill replays...no stats just emotion in the voice .....names and anticipation .....
yep, Brian Moore commentated with real passion. Barry Davies was very similar at the BBC.
Football and Commentary as it should be...Brian Moore. A Favourite ⚽️⚽️
What a great post .my heroes are all on here including Greaves and Chivers as well as so many other household internationals. Goal action can be viewed around these times :
10.30
11.30 Jimmy Greaves goal
17.30
26.30
A thoroughly entertaining game played like it Should and used to be played fair and hard.
Some talent on that pitch, and no one dived.
Magnificent, never seen this one before which is incredible as I was convinced I'd seen them all. All the legends are playing too, not one missing.
I watched this game from the Shelf. Everyone in the crowd applauded when Jimmy scored.
Stood there as well, great days
Me too . Great days .
In todays football Greavsie would have been verbally abused, and booed at for leaving spurs to join West ham..How society has changed..Players in refs faces demanding to have a player sent off..Sad really.
Jimmy didn't ask to go to West ham he was kind of asked to go to make way for Martin Peters
@@ericstill5637 a cash plus player kind of transfer. march 1970.
The hammers could be doing with big Clyde Best these days, he could put a shift in. He was terribly underrated. The value of the players on display in that one match in todays prices would be unbelievable. Gilzean and Chivers were a potent combination as were hurst and greaves. I really enjoyed those highlights.
Clyde Best what a fantastic player he was
Wondering who the African fella was, thanks
Proper football.
Bobby Moore one of the greatest players to ever grace the game LEGEND 🙌🏼⚒
The greatest captain England ever had.
True gent. Shocking marking for the corner though.
This is proper football ⚽️ and I'm a Chelsea fan
I'm a Spurs fan and the only one of these players I saw play was Perryman. But big Clyde Best -- what a pioneer.
Brings back great memories of proper English football, my lad asked me what the alphabet was there for on the touchline, it took me a minute to remember it was the other halftime scores, fantastic memories. ⚒️
Fantastic...
And how exciting was it seeing the bloke carry out the numbers and put them up against the letters so we could find out how the other teams were getting on? :)
Indeed and some foreigners could learn some English.
Great days with great players..No in the face of the ref after every decision, no laying on the pitch after every tackle, no spitting , no trying to get other players sent off etc Some big names out there.
that's because the game has been influenced by money & a corrupted system. It's hardly a sport now, only political nonsense. As mad as it sounds, i prefer the days of Shaun Goater & Wright Phillips when the game was authentic. Most games today seem scripted, take yesterday for example, a pen that shouldn't have been given was & one that should wasn't. Both clear as day & you had the commentators reiterating Southamptons pen was a pen and citys wasn't 😂 city players backing off Southampton when their way of playing is to swarm the opponents. It's becoming soulless
Adam gillis, when sky sattelite had more or less took over football around the world in the late 1980s it was like shell oil striking an oil well in the north sea and finding 70 million barrels of oil at the same time. Its just lots of money and plenty of it.
Thank You for posting this, A fascinating look back at English Football in the 70's, This makes me smile. 🙂
Gee that was good football back in the 70’s and 80’s...
The country isn’t the same that’s why football isn’t. Set it up exactly the same but the people of today can’t recreate the scene
Best era for football for me most clubs could boost star studied players on a much better playing level, West ham, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea Everton, Liverpool Man City, Man Utd, Derby, Wolves and Leeds.
Loved it, thx for posting, just brilliant! Kids running on at the end!!! COYI !
Good game of football with some top players on both sides.
Jimmy Greaves maintaining his record of scoring on every debut .
Watched modern footy last night - not a patch on this game that had everything - including tackles !!! Remember those ? Full of British skill, attacking football, bravery & sportsmanship. Everything that’s missing today.
The British spice was there for all to see. Enjoyable football back then. We Malaysians also this type of football. Would like to see the so called old fashioned 1 to 11 shirt numbers instead of these lousy squad numbering now.
Just fabulous
Mixed emotions.It was lovely to see Jimmy back but hard to see him playing against us.
Good football and good commentator. Where did football go wrong?
Commercialism.
Sadly they turned it into a virtual reality game where if you come 4th in the league your supporters think they've been successful
Football tends like most things to reflect the times, and that is why football and football players & managers ect..present such an unedifying spectacle.!!.
Sky changed football for the worse. Sky sports for me when that took over it was never the same again. And that was in 1988,89 i remember. I even stopped watching it for at least a full season or two back then.
Here to see Jennings.... I only knew him when he played at Arsenal. I never got to see him play in person. I don't know anything about Grotier but he seems good too. The players seem to get up quicker when they have been tripped.
Nice concise analysis from Jimmy Hill on the goals with replay action.
These days it's more painful analysis with ridiculous "beam me up Scottie " spotlights and triangular diagrams (yawn) than televised game time.
Gilzean was a Don. To be honest, everyone in this match was. Perryman killing himself out there with those tackles, Pearce with the silky turns, Mullery was great, Chivers was Chivers lol GREAT MATCH!
Really enjoyed that, thanks.
I love the story about Gilly being told to report to Bill Nicholson's office - "What's this I'm hearing about you seen leaving a nightclub at 3am in the morning !?" asks Bill - Gilly's reply " There's no truth in that at all boss - I was going into the club at 3am !" Well whatever time he stayed out until he was a great player !
Most of those tackles now would not be allowed....... proper football back in the 70’s and 80’s
Yes, the only ones diving were the goalkeepers...great games,great players,great days
Did you notice when they got tackled they never went off crying to the ref suffering a broken leg for 10 seconds, footballers nowadays make me laugh
VAR just rang, they're reviewing 25 tackles for possible red cards
Great man Bobby Moore
Our No 6
Alan Gilzean, with the hair of a nuclear physicist.
Lampard does Gilzean, Gilzean does Lampard back. No rolling around, just getting on with it.
Honest football. No Latin drama like football nowadays.
Greaves 10 at West Ham and Peters 10 at Spurs.
Both mostly known for playing for the opposite teams.
English players on the pitch what a rarity
I love watching this in colour, my earliest memory of any football matches was Hibs v Dumbarton, I went in my uncle's car but my feet got wet and so I had no socks on, I was about 5 or 6, my earliest seeing it on tv was euro 92 when Denmark beat Germany and watching rangers v Leeds in the battle of Britain when cantona played for Leeds, Rangers got to the semi finals of the European cup that year, Marseille won the cup but were caught out cheating, it should have been an A.C Milan Rangers final.
I miss the 80s 90s football as well, Scottish and English teams did well
in 70s 80s in Europe.
1963 European Cup Final should have been Dundee v Benfica
High quality football
Players from most teams in that era are unforgettable names and instantly recognisable. Not so in the Premier League era. Ask me to name a player from five years ago from either of these teams, no chance.
Totally agree house hold names in most teams from that era.
21:57 Kick it Out!
well spotted and well said,,
@@MyEejit I used to be on the NorthBank listening to Clyde Best enduring this.
I'm white from Green Street and was disgusted by this tiny moronic minority. They were vile, violent and thick..... losers.
Those same thugs will be 65 plus today. But they won't feel shame or even remember.
Disgusting. Clyde Best Having a great game despite this. 26:51 his faint/dummy like you'd see in today's games.
The good old days!
My first game ever , Kop End , wendsday night , meaningless game vs The Hammers , the abuse Clyde took was sickening , he was so professional, I was young but I will never forget
Half a century ago! Some of those players are still household names.
@@duckjive1 Thanks - have done.
Brilliant memories when football was played properly
A few players here are no stranger to a fish supper. I do prefer this era of football to the modern day though, showing my age.
Wow....they were even allowed to actually tackle back then!
When only goals mattered, not "assists"
They aged very prematurely in those days. Alan Gilzean was only 18.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I know jennings is a tottenham legend but I loved watching him play for arsenal in my opinion he is arsenals second greatest keeper after david seaman
Jack Kelsey mate !
They go on about how much faster today's football is, but this doesn't look any slower. And the actual technical level of the players here looks superior to today's players.
They'd put man on the moon, and finally got to colour TV on terrestrial. But no one had thought to invent goalkeeper gloves.
Heh heh - I think around this time Sepp Maier from W Germany was coming up with the prototype of the modern keepers glove with a rubber palm...I think he wore them in 1974 WC
Both goalkeepers here showed why gloves weren’t needed; their handling and catching was excellent. Gloves are only worn to advertise their manufacturer brand.
Jennings’ hands were too big for gloves..
They didn’t need gloves in those days, because they were tough, professional footballers, not like the snowflakes that play in today’s game
They also had bent and broken fingers.
What a pleasure to watch , Englishmen kicking a ball when it was called a game , not like the united nations actors of today
Irish, Welsh and Scots represented there. Totally agree with the sentiment though.
Big Clyde Best was from Bermuda and one of the first black pioneers of the English game.
@@dannyward673 Yes he was along with Albert Johanneson of Leeds
Too right, mate. Cheers.
👍🏻
Proper football, proper footballers, proper kits, proper crowd's and a few bob to get in! Halcyon days, before the premier league and the oceans of money ruined it all for many fans.
Jimmy Greaves was a hell of a player. Looked like he had the ball tied to his foot at times. Only one better was Ginger Tompkins off Benny Hill.
Always a mystery why Ginger didn't play for England.
The who’s who of the first division at that time. The game was bristling with either England or ex-England internationals. Great match to boot.
Bristling with home grown British players.
Simply head and shoulders above football today , I don’t watch it anymore it’s lost its magic so sad 😢
Some great names in this game !
I Was at that game with my two brothers, my 15th year, both my brothers were spuds supporters. My elder brother used to get the hump a lot when we went to this derby.. My favorite was at WHL in Sept 1981 0-4 David Cross haha. I was in a military Hospital , my brother came over and surprised me, he said come on We are going to the game tonight. Drove me up there paid for my food and beer, and then watched us STUFF them 4-0 hahaha. I always rub that in. Never spent a penny that night HAHHAAHA.
rare to see a pitch looking so green from the 70s - must have been at the start of the season. And no horrible shirt-sponsored logos to spoil the look!
Those were the days 53,000 at old White Hart Lane.
Proper football played by proper players.
No United Nations, no divers, no arguing with the referee.
No booing of returning players or a certain England captain ( even if he did play for the wrong team).
Classic.
LOL....then came Ardiles and Villa!
In those days there wasn't much booing of classy players even if they played for the opposition.
Good old days of 70's football where the men looked double their age and the tackles made you grow up fast, tashes and sideburns as fashion statements and the balls were made of industrial lead.
A lot of things have actually changed for the better - grounds, pitches, balls and player fitness and no 'hard' men.
I thought that was Mark Noble in the first 10 seconds.
It was his dad.
The football was far superior back then, much better than today's premier league.
@@duckjive1 why?
Wow, as someone in their mid 30s I had no idea so many men in, at least, their mid 50's and upwards were using RUclips, and also the comments section. 😜
The good old days
The good old days of some proper football, can't be doing with the prima dona version of football we have nowadays.
No foreigners..great football 👍🏻👍🏻
They were much better football-ing players in those days. Good first touch, accurate passing, classic goals.
@@duckjive1 Dunno. It just popped up on my site. I was watching Tottenham Hotspur vids.
Football has come a long way
What are all those people doing in the stands?
COYI!
Sorry, forgot about the other internationals from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. People who follow classic football will know who they are/were !
west ham classic kit, should have this kit more
The man from Coupar Angus.
Loved watching that. it makes me laugh when modern pundits say the game is faster now. A modern player wouldn't last 30 minutes in the 70s and 80s with the intensity and physicality.
Bullshit not every game in the 70s or 80s was this intense.
Gilzean was rather mad in the end
A team full of British internationals. How times have changed
Enoch was right.....
How can that be ? Did we have an actual British football team ? I can't remember.
@@cuttski We certainly did, although I should point out my sentiment was that ALL of the West Ham team were all regular internationals who played for their own country. ( mostly England ).
It was the era of Alf Ramsay, a savvy manager, who based the England team on good teams where players obviously played together regularly. West Ham was the foundation of the 1966 World Cup winning team. Later i was based on the Man City lineup, but they never repeated the '66 success of course. Happy days !!!
@@terrygill430 Enoch was indeed right, but what I really meant was that everyone of that team played regularly for their own country.
Football seemed more attractive in those days , more fluent, and more exciting
@@duckjive1 it just came up on utube , i didn't really notice the site
@@duckjive1 it was just on your site, with all the other videos, hope this helps
When footballers were real men, not namby pampy pseudo-celebrities' chasing the highest paycheck instead of being loyal to their teams, falling over on the pitch if another player so much as breathed in their direction!
Not they’re fault the transfer market is different now... If a team was willing to pay £100m for you, what are you supposed to say? No?
The times have changed, move on. Loyalty goes both ways, teams are just as willing to dump you if aren’t good enough.
I would say 'PLOPPY PANTS'.
@@LeroyzkiSmithsonian any employer will get rid of someone who is not up to the job, many players have held The club to ransom and cheating in respect of trying to get an opposition player booked or sent off is now rife also is diving on the pitch.
@JM #7 RACING I think when it came to the captain of our only World Cup winning team having to sell his Winners Medal, that proves they weren't being paid enough by todays overinflated salaries that are sometimes based more on ego than consistency of skill and commitment.
So, 'Greavesie' only played for the one team?
Back when football was a sport.
Spurs had already gone 10 years without a league title at that point.
Olden days.
Before the world went Bat shit crazy.!!.
Different times.. And rules... No pointless stats and far too many studio experts now... Far better then... You had quality all over.. Charlton Best Bell Ball Todd and many more!!!
Yeh totally agree names from most clubs could just run of your tongue from that era.
If that was now game would have stopped every 2 mins with players feigning fouls. Proper days of of physical football , not like now days so sad
Honest football / ers !!!
And brian moore the commentator perfect
PlAyers don’t look as old as Alan Gilzean now
