Great piece of nostalgia. I remember watching these programmes during the World Cup of June 1970 as a 16 year old student, trying to revise for my GCE O Levels which were taking place at the same time! I think this clip comes from Friday 19 June, the day my exams ended, and 2 days before the Final on Sunday 21 June.
And people go on about David Bowie doing Starman on Top Of The Pops, ignoring that Jimmy Hill encouraged people to blur the lines of their sexuality years before.
If I remember correctly this was the first “ panel” to cover a World Cup. Just to add to the special feeling around they were covering the greatest World Cup ever won by the greatest team ever to chase a round ball (Pele’s Brazil). This brings back lovely memories. When the game really was the Beautiful Game.
yes, it was Jimmy Hill who invented the "football panel". ITV were discussing who to have as their expert summariser for the upcoming 1970 World Cup, and he suggested that instead of just 1 person they should have 3 or 4, to get a spirited discussion going, and it has been with us ever since
This was the first World Cup aired in colour. 1966 was the first to be aired live but in black & white. This is great coverage & at the time people watching this must have thought that we are walking into a new age.
I know it is nine months later but it is worth remembering in 1966 BBC and ITV shared resources and for the first time EVERY World Cup game was broadcast (not always live) using electronic cameras. The Directors for the BBC and ITV, Bryan Cowgill and Bob Gardam (who I had the privilege of doing work experience with a million years ago) showed the rest of the world how to cover football in this new electronic medium. It changed the way football was televised around the world forever even though it was in monochrome. I know Ken Wolstenholme's "They Think It's All Over" is in the national consciousness but the BBC archives show more than a few viewers were displeased as were BBC executives, when comparing his commentaries to those done in the group matches by David Coleman (who anchored coverage only from the semi-finals onwards, before that he did commentaries on some of the group games.) By 1970, Coleman was the pick of the BBC to do the Final in Mexico, but Wolstenholme applied legal pressure. Despite the offer of a large pay increase...he left in May 1971 after Coleman had the backing of Bryan Cowgill to do the FA Cup FIna lfrom 1972 onwards,
@@johnsaunders2109 What I find so interesting is between 1970 & 1998 the world cups broadcasted looked so vivid. The technology was changing rapidly & the image quality from World Cup to world Cup was so contrasting. I mean I could watch footage from the 1970, 1978, 1982, 1986 & 1990 World Cups all day. Now it’s different. You can’t tell the difference between the 2010 World Cup & 2018 tournament. It was like the climates locally were being beamed across.
Great upload thanks...brings back memories of my first World Cup watching extravaganza...when many players were not so much unknown but almost mysterious and an air of intrigue!
A hopeful time. Jimmy’s clothes reflect that optimism and freedom. Also the graphics haven’t dated at all. The early seventies were a purple period for style and good taste. Literally.
The closing theme tune is reminiscent of the track 'Plunge In' that was used as Scotsport theme throughout the 80s and has been revived in the past few years
Wow, stuff like this tended to get wiped and the tape reused in the UK . They tended to only keep stuff that was going to be rebroadcast at at a later date so amazing and fortunate it survived. I'm assuming it was 1 inch or 2 inch in quadruplex vt and the quality of the recording is amazing despite it being half a century old. A really interesting insight into that era. And Jimmy Hill's cravat is hugely laughable now. Pat Crerand was 31 when this was recorded and Bob Mcnab was 26 and fortunately both gentlemen are still with us at the time of writing. I was very surprised to see Bob Mcnab only won four caps for England, the last in 1969. He would go on to win the double with Arsenal in the 1970-71 season.
hi jeff lee please send a list of videos you have for mexico 86 as i have ,many myself so looking for ex rare footgage interviews with the players etc in the stadiums in mexico 86 especially estadio jalisco ......thanks ..................same for mexico 70 let me know asap thanks dave in uk
WHEN WILL the World Cup be played again in England?!!!! 1966 & we are still waiting, 53 years approx. Yes 53 years. We dont have to build one stadium. Not one. Germany have had it twice. Mexico twice or so. This is the home of fitba. Why is there no campaign & what is behind it. Match violence is near zero & its long before Brexit. Eurovision Song Contest is another backlash. Boot out the foreign players, put up two fingers to Euro & World Cup fixtures & we will enjoy our own matches & greats, also bring back the old pitches & ball & stop knocking down our historic stadiums too. Now where's my pipe & slippers..
The Doog. Days gone by Btw. I sent a 30p postal order to join Bob McNab's fan club. Im still waiting for my membership card in 2022. Every morning I rush downstairs when I hear the letterbox flip. I am just starting to think I have been forgotten. Bastards

When Brian Moore starts listing Rivellino's hobbies, when he says 'whacking' at 1.09 I thought the next word was going to be 'off', I'm going to hell 🤷
Jack S I agree. The Studio and the design look much more modern than in 1974 and 1978. The design in 1974 looks more old fashioned than in 1970. And I also noticed that the studio looked much smaller in 1974 and especially in 1978.
Schnipp08 Very true. The fashions look more contemporary than 74 especially, but also the studio design, lighting and credits all more modern looking than 74 and 78. Amazing to think this is 1970!
England didn't qualify and so budgets and facilities were cutback somewhat including sets. Remember England went into 1970 as the holders and expectations were quite high. Hard to imagine now of course. But things were reined in somewhat in later tournaments.
Yeah. Fred Perry shirts. Chino's. Styled short hair. Very Steve McQueen. Looks very on today's trends. Even the players at the 1970 world cup, look less dated than the players at the 1974 & 1978 world cups. By 1974: Out of control hippie hair. Big collars & lapel's, big kipper ties, all look really dated by todays standards.
I.T.V,. viewers in the Granada region NEVER saw the 1970 World Cup and the 1970 General Election oweing to a technicians strike. Meaning no Corronation Street so everything was 30 minutes early.
Blimey! I never thought I’d see Jimmy Hill morph into Quintin Crisp..😅
Complete with cravat 😂
The golden days of the world cup 1970-1982. This is great stuff.
Pelé, Beckenbauer, Cruyff. The 1970's World Cups were just magical. Spearheaded by those three geniuses.
Jimmy Hill looks more like some crazy French artist than a football pundit
51 years ago. Almost unbelievable.
Brian Moore, great commentator, sadly missed
Brian Moore and Jimmy Hill - legends!
Look at the wooden MUPPETS .... in the studio nowadays..... SHOCKING ....,, those guys back in 70 were enjoying it .... GREAT TELLY👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺👍👍
Your so right!!! wat ching this world cup they are morose ,boring and totally without Charisma
Great punditry. How I wish I could travel back on Jimmy Hill's cravat.

I was ten.......black and white TV
FIFTY Years Gone in The blink of an eye. Paddy's Kids Are now 56,55, and 51...l think.Great tv ...much better than Today's Experts.
And people go on about David Bowie doing Starman on Top Of The Pops, ignoring that Jimmy Hill encouraged people to blur the lines of their sexuality years before.
Jimmy hills cravat is fantastic.
We wouldn't need the internet if we still had Brian Moore & post office cards..
And today's punditry is shit
@@leebeardshall2888 it certainly is.

Not true! Both 1954 and 1958 were broadxast live here. 1962 in Chile was a djmifferent matter! The long distance technology was not in place,

Fred Perry's on display, remember them being in fashion in 1979
Nice Fred Perry's...
the best ever World Cup panel I've seen
Thanks great video..anything about 1970 l love .the greatest world cup..🇧🇷⚽️
Amazing to think that during this discussion, England were reigning World Champions.
But not for much longer!
Great times great panel great memories..Brian Moore severely underrated.
Underrated by whom? He was a great commentator and a very good, easy-going TV panellist, as can be seen here.
Yes. Compare him to the tossers at Sky !!!!
@@SMSJSC I think that shoud be severely overrated.
fred perry shirts wow
Fantastic quality picture, real colours.
I remember this so well. The first World Cup I ever watched. Everything was a wonder to me then.
Great upload thanks...brings back memories of my first World Cup watching extravaganza...when many players were not so much unknown but almost mysterious and an air of intrigue!
I remember Malcolm Allison demonstrating how to perform the " banana " shot - newly popularised by Brazil during this 1970 World Cup
brilliant, thanks for posting...would love to see more of these from the '70 panel.
Love this tune.
It was perfect for the 1970 tournament.
Panels seemed so much more interesting and fun then , not like todays wooden panellists with their predictable and safe answers.
A hopeful time. Jimmy’s clothes reflect that optimism and freedom. Also the graphics haven’t dated at all. The early seventies were a purple period for style and good taste. Literally.
Should have seen my shirts...shocking!!!
1968 to 1972 Olympic Games and the Mexico World Cup were the most visually elegant ever in my opinion.
Thanks for another quality clip Schnipp08!
I'm glad you appreciate it. Thank you for watching my videos! :-)
No problem!
Great uploads, more please. ;)
3.10 If I wore those t shirts in 2021 would anyone realize they were from over 50 years ago?
No. Jimmy Hill's attire on the other hand...
Clough/Allison/Dougan/Crerand now that WAS a Panel !!!
Isleofskye da da da dougan da da da dougan he's the best center forward in the land
Where was Clough in this one?
He had a dental appointment that day, as I recall :)
Big Mal was great
Wow any more of such footage is welcome
All but one wearing Fred Perry ! Before they became trendy & expensive!
They were never cheap, and they were wearing them because they were fashionable.
Great stuff 👍⚽️❤
Amazing to see
Jimmy Hill's only World Cup for ITV
Magical!!!
Fantastic.
I'm glad you like it! :-)
The closing theme tune is reminiscent of the track 'Plunge In' that was used as Scotsport theme throughout the 80s and has been revived in the past few years
Thank you for loading that
love this
More of this, please!
That yellow shirt
World cup 1970 in colour
Jimmy Hill taking fashion cue's from Jason King looooool
You could still wear today what the others are wearing. Jimmy Hill on the other side...

What great knowledge you have Trevor & I wonder if there are any more of Brian Moore & Jimmy Hill covering the World Cup in 1970...?
love the polo shirts so cool

Why do I now want to go and buy some Fred Perry polo shirts?!?!
Was Bob McNab the only one on the panel not to have a sponsorship with Fred Perry?
WHEN WILL the World Cup be played again in England?!!!! 1966 & we are still waiting, 53 years approx. Yes 53 years. We dont have to build one stadium. Not one. Germany have had it twice.

Spain have only had it once as well but yes it is long overdue for England.

I'm sorry, David. I don't have more ITV footage from the 1970 World Cup. And also nothing from 1986.
I have loads of videos from 1986
Fred Perry tops. Wonder how much they got...
What was Jimmy Hill thinking of?
Whacking into fair old girls as well. LOL!
Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
Fred perry polo shirts
When Brian Moore starts listing Rivellino's hobbies, when he says 'whacking' at 1.09 I thought the next word was going to be 'off', I'm going to hell 🤷
3:28 what’s this song called 😭 it’s so good
The good old days before the box ticking quota panels were everywhere.
Looks far less dated than 1974 and 1978, bizarrely

Barbers were not invented till 1971,ir seems...
No memory of this whatsoever Granada were on strike only BBC coverage available
A strike in the 70's? Surely that can't be right?
I.T.V,. viewers in the Granada region NEVER saw the 1970 World Cup and the 1970 General Election oweing to a technicians strike. Meaning no Corronation Street so everything was 30 minutes early.
Did you hear any woke crap spoken on here? Of course not. It was about football only and not media driven politics like world cup 2022.
Good football talk full stop
