Used to go to my Nan and Grandad's every Saturday. Get there for lunch, stay for tea. My Dad would do their garden, and we would go play. Then every one would always gather round the TV to watch the scores. Council house, Park Drive ciggies, pot of tea. Great memories.
I actually went to 2 games that day, i was at Anfield for an early kick off watching Manchester City, i got back to my house in Stretford (about 10 minutes walk from Old Trafford) my red brother was just leaving to watch United, he asked if i wanted to go along with him, so i did, i still had the programme from the Liverpool vs City game in my pocket!
Me old man would watch this back in the day, before going down the pub . Then we'd have the telly to ourselves 😊 Them days were simple and life was more family/community orientated . 🍺⚽️❤🇬🇧
Reminds me of being in the car with my dad in the early 2000s. Loved listening to football and cricket on the radio was we drove between Devon where I lived and London where he did
I was just wondering the date and guessed it was around Christmas, as the English league (not sure about Scotland?) Held local darbys then if possible, and there are several examples of this in the matches played, or at least places that are relatively close together, apparently it was for ease of travelling around Christmas time.
@@Eurobrasil550 I think there was a time once, when most English league games on Boxing Day/New Year's Day were local derbies, as you pointed out, for ease of travelling, possibly due to good weather not being guaranteed at those times of the year. Then again, I've known times when there've been one or two fixtures involving lengthy journey's for some clubs, ie on Boxing Day 1990, my local side, Sunderland, had to journey to Crystal Palace, & for a 12.30PM KO!
Oldham played Leeds the previous day (Christmas Sunday 26th December). This is Boxing Day 1982, moved to Monday 27th and most teams played again Bank Holiday Tuesday 28th.
when football was played by real men. look at the teams that are lower lge now Barnsley, Coventry, Swansea, to much money on football now lower lge clubs don't have chance

After the final scores you kept it on BBC 1 for the Dukes of Hazard or switched over to ITV for Knight Rider. FANTASTIC MEMORIES.
It was almost magical.
How the fuck did you remember that.....just the good ole boys

Len Martin read the football results for BBC Television in those days. He died of a heart attack in 1995 at the age of 76.
That voice at Saturday tea time, then it was either the A-Team or Knight Rider on ITV.
Fab days!
Or CHiPs
Remember that voice from my childhood. Just shared this with the kids. Thanks for posting it 👍
I literally just wrote the same memory on different video… memories from grandparents house 😢
Bring back good memories
This is the version I remember, that voice. Queen of the South.
I remember this lol, every old bloke was a WW2 vet then. i remember meeting old WW1 widows as well.
My moment of zen
It’s actually 27th December 1982
I was thinking, is this Boxing Day, or something? Plenty of local derbies!
Wow when boxing day had local derbies
Still some long trips, Mansfield to Wimbledon, Derby to Newcastle and Leicester to Middlesbrough.
South Yorkshire Police must have loved that day with two South Yorks derbies and Rotherham at home as well.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS only radio or TV to get the results no smart phones or computers then
Quite a few local derbies in one day
Look where Notts County are now.
Almost all local derbies - or similar. Must have been arranged that way. First day of the season?
