I can still remember the extraordinary crowd surge & roar behind the goal when Greaves headed that goal. I was 12 years old & nothing at a soccer match has ever come close since. Saw Jimmy play 3 times, twice for Spurs that season & once at Highbury for the Hammers - Jimmy scored in every game. The greatest player ever imo.
That 70s pitch. Try as Spurs tried, we couldn't supercede Cgelsea's sandpit. Thanks for unearthing this magnificent throwback when these players graced our colours in such conditions 😍
My dad was a massive Spurs Dan in those days since the early sixties, Dave MCkay was his hero, it was wonderful to see him back at Spurs, what a wonderful player he was.
I was at that game, and remember it because of the rare headed goal by Greavsie. A man next to me in the crowd pointed to his forehead and shouted out: "on 'is 'ead, on 'is 'ead" in disbelief when it went in!
Lovely video. Despite the win, I remember this was a troubled season for Spurs. The FA Cup defeat at Palace a couple of weeks later was the final straw for Billy Nick, who decided things needed shaking up, leading to Jimmy Greaves being transfered to West Ham shortly afterwards and Martin Peters going the other way. Martin Chivers was struggling up front (not helped by a serious knee injury season before) and getting a fair bit of stick from the crowd but luckily came good in the following season. Greaves retired in '72 and Peters became a key player for us so I guess Sir Bill was right on that one but a tough call at the time.
Interestingly Spurs won the FA Youth Cup that season with players like Perryman, Barry Daines and Graeme Souness. Souness would have been a great replacement for Dave Mackay but Nicholson thought otherwise.Instead we had players like Dennis Bond ,John Pratt, David Jenkins ,Terry Naylor coming in. Greaves wasn’t even 30 when he was shipped out to West Ham. Peters was good but there was only one Jimmy Greaves.
@@JAllenFBrown I may be wrong but I do remember reading that a very young and homesick Graeme Souness suddenly upped and cleared off back home, never to return... Pity, could have done with him in those late 70s teams.
@@JAllenFBrown Greaves out Souness moves on!? And it seemed like ,(to me)the more u see old Vids, the lack of decent defending& Organization and from my perspective,so much dependent on individual flashes of Brilliance,or individual moments of inept play or defending!
Obviously Derby brought the notorious Baseball Ground pitch with them! Rather this than the perfect sanitised pitch of grass & plastic we have now, it bores me.
Fantastic clip. Seen the final Greaves goal before but good to see all the highlights, the second Spurs goal was even better IMO. Brian Moore mentions the 0-5 defeat at Derby earlier that season which brought about the legendary "Flitwick" incident when the Spurs football special never made it back to London ;-). Always wondered what the fans chant for Greaves was now I know, just a straight "Jimmy" in the way Barca chant "Messi". Also right at the end with the announcer telling the kids to stay off the pitch, more like stay off the sand! Thanks for posting.
Flitwick incident gets a name check in this article about 70s Britain: www.spectator.co.uk/article/a-time-to-moan-and-weep Fancy interrupting someone's cheese and wine party...
You don't get the mature football greats now & dropping down to lower divisions passing on their knowledge & learning the management game as now they are multi millionaires & cheek expect a testimonial match some do it for charity. Some like Harry Redknapp only do charity work for money & charge £1000s & they pay it such is the charity business.
Boy, has football gone backwards since these times. No diving, no shirt pulling, no arms all over each other. How did we end up with what we have now? Spectators not ripped off to attend (30p to stand at this match, I know because I was there).
Alan Hinton was the first player I can recall playing in non-black boots, saw him at Newcastle wearing white Hummel (i think) boots, went home and used tennis shoe whitener on mine ...got a right hiding for it
Looks like they're playing on Blackpool beach without the consistency of bounce. Greaves scored one and made another, but Bill Nicholson still sold him. He deserved better treatment.

We are park lane look at the state of there shorts lol
He was always barrel chested, which gave him the impression of being overweight though you are probably right as he was coming to the end of a long and succesful career.

Legendary Brian Moore simply Class!
Spurs had some brilliant players with Greaves the greatest!
That Header from the Legendary Jimmy Greaves,from a fiercely hit Cross was a piece of Artistry!

Mind you for Derby this pitch was a home from home!

Jennings the greatest of all keepers making brilliant saves look commonplace. Luv the Mullery Webster spat showing how a handshake solves all.
Think it was Carlin not Webster.
fancy selling Pat to the Arse!
I was at this game aged 12 in the Park Lane behind the goal where Jimmy glanced in a rare header. Great times. COYLW!!!
So was I. nearly got trampled to death.

Great game played at a frenetic pace. The players never stopped running.
They're no less fit than modern players.

@@alunjones685apparently Souness went to see Bill Nic and wanted to be in the side and then Bill Nic shipped him out
Brilliant game. Pat Jennings was awesome. Love the old pitches. Like playing on the beach

Great upload duckjive1.
Proper football. My hero Jimmy Greaves scored, but I forgot how good Alan Gilzean was. The other half of G-Force. TTID.

Gillie the glance, was a name for him.
@@bigpants6121 or the Gilly flick.
@@gregod806 He knew how to head a ball. Even if the ball weighed a tonne!
Superb stuff mate 👏

Players today couldn’t play on a pitch like that and when greaves scored no theatrical celebrations, it was so much better back then.
When footballers were true heroes
No yellow cards just leg breaking tackles!
Makes the baseball ground look like a bowling green
Alan Hinton was the first player I can recall playing in non-black boots, saw him at Newcastle wearing white Hummel (i think) boots, went home and used tennis shoe whitener on mine ...got a right hiding for it
Alan Ball was the first to wear white boots.
State of that pitch, imagine this lot today walking out to that.
Our pitch lol yet still play great football Brian Moore that lines man hair cut more skin than hair great times coys
The pitches were SHOCKING……😳😳
Oh please. The pitches kids play on in the parks, they're shocking. Those old style pro pitches were like carpets in comparison.
@@thegreathadoken6808 oh please ! 😝
I think these were the last goals Jimmy scored for Spurs.
correction - the last goal.
Yes 2 1
Goalkeeper without any football gloves…. Wow
When you could shout out there names
Looks like they're playing on Blackpool beach without the consistency of bounce.
Greaves scored one and made another, but Bill Nicholson still sold him. He deserved better treatment.

Sorry meant Spurs Fan.
That little boy yawning bria no Moore makes a comment 2nill coys
Dave Mackay a bit over weight?
He was always barrel chested, which gave him the impression of being overweight though you are probably right as he was coming to the end of a long and succesful career.
maybe Mackay was a little heavy - still a great player. Why did he never manage Spurs ???
Who said it's only the Brazilians that play footy on the beach?
