Thanks for sharing this, I'd no idea it existed. Films about Spurs have only ever used the British Pathe footage which was filmed outside the stadium. Funny, I look at the Pathe footage now and you clearly see the Topical Budget camera operator at the back of the stand about 20 yards closer to the action. If I'd noticed earlier maybe I'd have done some detective work and found this sooner! Sorry it's not such a great moment in Wolves' history but Dimmock's goal is legend for Spurs, so wonderful to actually see it and in pretty good resolution for the time. So many goals from this era are "faked" by newsreels but here you clearly see the build up and strike. Having read contemporary reports of the match and believing there was only the poor Pathe footage I never thought I would see this famous goal. It must be said that even in official Spurs histories it is admitted, though, that it was a somewhat fortuitous goal, Dimmock losing the ball only for it to be returned into his path.
At 3:50 a clear example of how the 3-men offside rule was deleterious to the game. One of the two full backs basically played in line with the half backs, leaving only one full-back as a sweeper and putting the opponent forwards offside, leaving the opponent player in possession of the ball with the choice to either dribble or shoot from outside the box, both soloist options. Same thing can be seen on other occasions in the video
@@StephenTetlow-qm9of well the passing game was already the norm in 1921, the problem is that the old rule created 1-4-5 formations which would employ horizontal passing over vertical play. Something very positional and pretty boring much like today's play (but certainly more entertaining due to the attacking attitude of players back then). 4 years from this match the rule would change for the better. If anything, I'd limit it to the last third of the field (but apply it properly, not as the joke it is now)
which demonstrates why it is that Steve Bloomer really could be considered the greatest player of all time. Do you really think with a 3 man defence that Messi could score 450 first class goals, like Bloomer did? Hardly! Bloomer was beyond parallel. 2nd in the all time top flight goals in England and last scored a goal in 1914 (110 years ago). 2nd. And only beaten in all those years by one player.
Mercian, Thanks for this early footage of Wolves' Cup Final against Spurs. Great atmosphere at game-unusual to see such bad weather and bad pitch! Thanks for your great channel dedicated to Wolves!

They possibly thought it would be like rubbing the opponents nose in it. A bit like unseemly showing off maybe. It was after all more a game back then. Also, following the Great War so closely perhaps they had more perspective of the fact that bigger events of much greater importance and cost had recently taken place. These days, especially on social media, every victory in every game seems to be rammed down the opponents throat. So much these days is perceived to be at stake.
Damn - good for you. At your age I wonder if you know what a computer is, let alone social media. Still it's very close to the end of the 2017 - 2018 season. I hope Tottenham will end up above Liverpool to end up 3rd.

Indeed, you should be very proud. One of Spurs' star players for a number of years.
I have a copy of Jimmy's instruction book ... first edition.
Priceless. Thanks for posting it. Arthur Grimsdell was my great uncle.
..mine too..Arthur Grimsdell

Im watching this with the grandson of wolves player Arthur Potts his name Arthur Potts too he’s 75 this year

Not detrimental (or deleterious!), just different, in an era where individual endeavour was prized above the passing game.

After 100 years, RUclips decided to put this on my recommendation
Great footage! 100 years ago this year.
Mercian,
Thanks for this early footage of Wolves' Cup Final against Spurs. Great atmosphere at game-unusual to see such bad weather and bad pitch! Thanks for your great channel dedicated to Wolves!
I watch this just a few days away from this being 100 years ago.
Jimmy dimmock was my great great uncle (mothers maiden name) - my grandmother always kept the daily mail from the next day reporting the match.
Oh, I have so much more respect for football after watching this
Great footage and look at the state of that pitch..
The pitch looks like the Somme
Love the way the keepers just hoof the ball as soon as they get it .oh and as a Fulham supporter have to say Chelsea play in Fulham .
Need to be able to hold your piss in those days … great to see both clubs still doing it 100+ years later 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
COYS
That is amazing.The football was more emotinal and truer. Today is Just business.
Look at the state of that pitch!
3.53 goalie just shanks it! Terrible pitch, shout out to all grounds men in modern era
that was amazing footage.didn't they seem just like we are today people are people!
My Great grandad was at this game , must have been brilliant
Thankiu color in footbal⚽🙋
Was that Steve Bull I saw running out for Wolves?
100 years on, no chance of an attendance like that anytime soon

A sporting game of the people...
I believe Hercule Poirot and Artur Hasting also watching this in the stadium
Many of the crowd must have fought in the war.
wow, they had pre-game hype too
Phenomenal drainage. The field looked at the Somme early on.
I was waiting for Spurs to bottle it.
That'll be the Woolwich wanderers
Not in a year ending in 1 😊
Didn’t have to bribe our way into the First Division either.
Why didn't teams back then hold the cup aloft?
They possibly thought it would be like rubbing the opponents nose in it. A bit like unseemly showing off maybe. It was after all more a game back then. Also, following the Great War so closely perhaps they had more perspective of the fact that bigger events of much greater importance and cost had recently taken place. These days, especially on social media, every victory in every game seems to be rammed down the opponents throat. So much these days is perceived to be at stake.
I thought Alan Gilzean and Ralph Coates played well that day.
Great to see a game where the goalie doesn't hold onto the ball for minutes on end
The positioning of the goalkeepers was very different from the later years...
Very much the pre Lev Yashin days
Nearly 102 years old wow
Val gregory is my great great great uncle (hence my last name 😉)
99 years ago 😮
5:27 The King's Cane lol
last time spurs won anything
I have been a Spurs fan since the age of 11. Little did I realise until a lot later. My real mother was married to Jimmy Dimmock!
There’s so much of the story you’re missing out I what do you mean by your real mother?
There'd be a lot of tears and tantrums I think. "Don't you know who I am" kind of stuff lol.
Weird seeing an fa cup final away from wembley
If I recall Wembley wasn’t even under construction at the time of the 1921 final-it was still two years from the opening and the White Horse Final.
Great to see the King out in the rain, shaking the hands of all the players. What a great country England was. So sad what it has become.
What's wrong with England today?
COYS
certainly a piece of history there, but running on the pitch! what! what! oh i say and in front of the King, what did the papers say?
Greatest event in the football history... they still keep saying that...
Best thing about this as a Wolves fan? No Gary Lineker!
I was there and I watched the game life
Damn - good for you. At your age I wonder if you know what a computer is, let alone social media.
Still it's very close to the end of the 2017 - 2018 season. I hope Tottenham will end up above Liverpool to end up 3rd.
bs
I did a little trump
Im fanny walden's grandson believe it or not
101 year old filming wow
انا جاي من كأس العالم 2022 😂😂😂
2nd Millennium / 20th century
Stamford Bridge looked better in 1921.
The last time spurs won anything
Sramford bridge. Chelsea
Is anyone in the video still alive ?
The tortoise eating a carrot behind the goal at 12.23.
Yes I was there. I the guy smoking Camels.
This is what women's football is like today.
yawn
Imagine today's overpaid prima donnas trying to play on that pitch. Wouldn't last five minutes
Most of this player also serve in the world war, they are actually real man, not like diva that we watch today
