- Don Revie's reign as England manager gets off to the perfect start with a 3-0 win over Czechoslovakia in October 1974 in a European Championship qualifier. Who would have imagined after this result that the Czechs would go on to win the competition?! England failed to qualify.

Good football, good play...old times...another world.
Old Wembley had such a great atmosphere
Colin Bell = class
Channon's pass for the second goal at 5.05 was sublime. I am surprised it isn't famous.
He was aiming for Keegan
I think this was Don Revie's first match as manager with England as before him,Joe Mercer was the caretaker coach.
It was an European Championship match with Czechoslovakia at Wembley in 1974 with England winning 3-0 with goals from Mick Channon and Colin Bell(2).But it was to be the recently deceased Norman Hunter's farewell game for England.
England had some terrific players in this era - but Revie kept changing his sides around too much. They never had a settled side under him.
From this match, it was then very hard to imagine that Czechoslovakia would finally win the Cup two years later.
Fantastic quality, fantastic video.. Later in the qualifying the Czechs did their best.
Czechs and Slovaks.
I believe they were reigning Euro champions.
@@stephenreeds3672 No they weren't they won in 76 ("Panenka penalty"), 72 West Germany got the trophy
I'd forgotten what a good player Colin Ball was.
Alan Bell was pretty good too..
Whereas Colin Ball had no idea he was a footballer.
For years he thought he was the second gunman on the grassy knoll. He used to joke to his best pal Jimmy Bingham about getting away with murder, as well as lousy fashion sense.
The Good Old Days. xx
not really we didn't qualify
That was the one and only kit my parents bought me in 1974 as a boy. Seeing it again with the little Admiral transfer took me right back.
Criminal how Dave Thomas did not get a lot more games for England under Revie , was quite possible the best winger/crosser of a ball back in the 70's
Managers who sat in the dugout rather than prancing down the touchline screaming abuse at the referee, players who just got on with the game after being fouled, happier times when football actually mattered.
England had such under rated players and teams in these years. There was just a lot of decent national sides, including Scotland 👍☺⚽❤
Tbf the 70s were hardly a halcyon age for England were they? No matter how many good teams are around not qualifying for successive tournaments is rightly forgotten
Ireland too
LIKE FROM ELSHAD COUNTRY AZERBAIJAN. BAKU CITY. THANK FOR SUPERB VIDEO
r i p colin bell...great player
Kevin Keegan made a great point when Don Revie died ,"England were just not good enough" Unfortunately the presumption England were great ,they really weren't ,and only qualified for the WC in 1982 because of the extended tournament that meant you qualified finishing second.
That's a bit harsh, to have to win your group to qualify was always going to be very robust challenge, saying that freeing it up for the runner up group was always more than reasonable really..
amazing how channon didnt leave to a bigger club, he always played for england
A very good win against an excellent Czechoslovak team. The fact that a strong England side failed to qualify for the final stages in 1976, whereas the current England side qualified for Euro 2016 by winning every game, owes everything to the changes in the system and nothing to the relevant strengths of the sides then and now.
Yep, under modern rules the top 2 go through so England would have qualified. We were also in a tough group with the eventual competiton winners.
in the very early 1970s, England had a dip of quality but from around 1974 until the end of the decade England had some excellent teams and players..the failures not to qualify for the World Cup is very misleading. In 1978 England did not qualify on goal difference not points, both times losing out to semi finalists, Poland and Italy...
Aye! And England along with other countries mixing it up a bit having non-indigenous people representing a foreign country! Oh, and while we are at it, why not include a woman or two ( or eleven ) and throw in some transexuals? After all, that is what the all-inclusive/ anything goes brigade want, so why not you narrow-minded, traditionalist, KJV 1611 Bible believing Christians you?
Changes? What changes do you believe are beneficial to Our Beautiful Game?
Nasty elbow on Bell after his last goal
Good football but unbelievable this 50 years ago
Nice second goal after nice pass.
Channon scored 1 made 2 what more can you say🤗🐻👍
Don Revie then the England manager often made changes to the England line up and never had a settled team.When he was in charge Alan Ball,Colin Bell,Malcom MacDonald and Paul Madeley were on their way out of the England team.
England playing really well here. Had the basis of a good side. You would think only one of these teams had the chance to win the tournament two years later
England's first match in the new "Admiral" strip. It was quite startling at the time, and very controversial. I remember I absolutely hated it at first, then changed my mind completely when the Subbuteo version came out lol!
Good old days .
how good was colin bell?[ better than dele ali NOW!
Gostei dos ingleses bom passe ótimo introsamento.
Com esse time a Inglaterra ficou fora da copa de 1974...coisas do futebol..
Revies England...and not a Chelsea player in sight. Revie hated them!.
With good reason.
Chelsea were relegated that season. Revie was correct and buy then Hudson was at Stoke
@@dlamiss He picked Ray Wilkins.
@@Lord_Hillcrest01 He picked Ray Wilkins.
@@gunternetzer9621 He did but Wilkins wasnt part of the Chelsea Leeds rivalry in the early 70s. Wilkins was picked for England after Chelsea had gone down
Colin the King 👑
How much do you think Mick Channon would be worth on today's market?
About 17 mil, but he was a very different kind of player very reliable......
17 mill? That sounds fair, especially seeing he is 70 next month.
On the back of the sitters he missed here and in the two Portugal games in this group? Seventeen quid.
Kevin Keegan would be worth 100 million.
Even as an Everton man, I'd be inclined to agree. Of course, Alan Ball would be worth 130 million :-)
It's a shame Joe Mercer didn't stay on as Manager as he had picked flair teams , Revie destroyed England then left before being sacked
The so called flair players weren't up to it.
Revie not sacked he jumped ship for the desert for which he was vilified. Given the way the FA and their spiteful bullying supremo Harold Thompson treated Sir Alf who could blame him? Top club manager among many greats of his generation.
great win [ but colin bell tragically injured [ how we beat them 3/0 and they beat us 2/1 and we go out?[ i cant remember [ but thats fifa
No U.E.F.A.
England had so many great players why only 1 world cup.
4.00 minutes in, WTF, Wembley singing YNWA?!? What is that about?
The rest of England didn't have a reason to hate Liverpool back then.
Hopes dashed ... we had to wait for Italy Euro 1980
Don Revie's England team really whipped Czechosolvakia in that Euro qualifying match at the old Wembley Stadium one evening in the autumn of 1974. It is somewhat ironic that, less than two years later, in the summer of '76, the Czechs became champions of Europe..... whereas England failed to qualify for the latter stages of the competition.
We in England played to many domestic matches then and no time period of rest before internationals...plus the Czecks had less domestic games and few players of international quality, however they made a good/hardworking team that endevoured !
England really should have qualified with the players we had, Keegan, Bell, Channon, Clemence, Shilton, if we had just beaten Portugal at home we would have made it :(
Something to realize ... Then (up to 1976) the finals were just the semi's and Final ... maybe a third place game ... as you had to win the qualifying group, then play a two legged Quarter Final (Wales lost to Yugoslavia) to get to the finals. At the point of qualifying the four nations came to a conclusion as to Who would Host the Final Stages ... Yugoslavia became the Hosts in 1976.
Yes it was much harder to qualify back then. To be fair ti the England managers. To not qualify now (Euro 2008), is a disgrace!
3.55 YNWA ☺
Did Don Revie have shares in Admiral sportswear? Leeds started wearing Admiral when Revie was manager, then England. £££££
Ian Cruise Actually, you weren’t a million miles away. Revie was instrumental in bringing Admiral to Leeds and then England. The previous strip was a classic. This was England’s first game in the Admiral gear - as a 9 year-old, I hated it - it looked cheap.
Those English keeper gloves in the 70s, cotton ?
Yep, the Peter Bonetti signature ones, just green cotton, I had some in my playing days.
England did well for this game but it’s a wonder why Revie chopped n changed his teams even when they were doing well. It led to his downfall.
....yes baumer paul gefreiter ....(the czechs did there best....lol) they lifted that trophy .... panenka ;o]
We stuffed Czechoslovakia and they went in to win the Euros 1976 with the Panenka penalty. Typical England
Didn’t Czechoslovakia become European champions in 1976 ?…this England team was excellent and extremely unlucky to come runner up in qualifying group to Poland in 74 World Cup and runners up to Italy in 78 qualifiers too …Poland got battered by England atWembley but showed how good they were by coming third behind west Germany and Holland in finals and Italy actually beat Argentina 1-0 in Argentina in the 78 World Cup finals too ……God was obviously a jock and hates us !!.
yes, the EURO 76 WINNER was playing in this game..................yes, indeed next summer England lifted the Euro trophy - smashing the old enemy West Germany........erm.....
England didn't qualify for the 74 and 78 world cups but far better than the fairies of todays over hyped/rated so called footballers
England once again completely flummoxed by a sweeper system, had to rely on the Czechs tiring in the last 15 minutes. Afterwards Don Revie privately admitted that England didn't have the players to win at the highest international level.
they did, kept changing the team and wanting more money
back when only englishmen played for England
😕no black player had ever represented england in 1974
your point?
I'd forgotten what a good player Colin Ball was.
