Hungary 0-0 England (1988)

England play out a 0-0 draw away to Hungary in a friendly in April 1988. Ahead of the European Championships, Bobby Robson fields a mixture of experienced and new players with Gary Pallister (of 2nd Division Middlesbrough) coming close to scoring on his debut. Includes some pre-match thoughts from pundit Brian Clough with presenter Nick Owen.

You have the Opening Titles of this Live game? I remember it had the tune of Midweek Sports Special, and featured goals from both England and Hungary. I would be very grateful if you upload them.

Great stuff from Clough at the start.

Cloughie spoke more sense in 3 minutes than most armani-besuited pundits manage now in a lifetime.

Clough's comments were spot on about lack of experience in that English backline, Adams and Pearce were still youngish talents (1988), the Euro ban also affected English players development, people like Gary Stevens (not playing here I think) Waddle, Lineker had issues (Hernia surgery and Hepatitis) Van Basten and Guilit exploited it brilliantly a few months later..

Clough calling Pallister "Mcallister". D'Oh.

07:44 Commentator: "I think since Glenn Hoddle has come on, Bryan, he has absolutely taken control of this game. It's not easy coming on as substitute but I suppose when you got as much class as what Glenn has it becomes easy."
Glenn Hoddle, a class above the rest.
