Im so happy to have been around in those wild ,fun,scary.exciting days....my era was 67 to 95......when our shed end was very good in big matches..( with the exception of whu) when we generally ( but not always) had 2nd only to man utd an away following of viking preportion....of course we had plenty of losses on the terrace but it was all adrenaline making.....every club had a good firm ....the players were all big names and underpaid....players wanted the shirt number not the cash....fittest players ever to be in football...playing in mud for 92 mins....the stamina and toughness was unbelievable.....the old shed is dead...long live the shed.....the old supporters are gone...long live the fans....atmosphere has disipated.....long live the footy some of us once knew
Happy days, when the supporters were basically a load of scum bag thugs that were more interested in fighting than watching football. Thankfully those days are long gone.
Memories, memories! Real football, exciting football, players that played for the love of the game, who didn't earn zillions more than the fans that paid their wages. Fabulous.
Man Utd in the old 2nd Division were unstoppable. Man Utd I think were a little more liked in the 70s than they are now. Or certainly than during the Ferguson era.
The romance and soul of the sport has gone ,I remember the 70’s watching here in Australia,the whole World is corporatised nowadays.The atmosphere of those old games were incredible.
Late 70's Liverpool domination, 1978,79 Forest break Liverpool's domination of the league, Forest qualify for european cup , Liverpool are holders. Forest thought we could win it if we avoid Liverpool in the draw. First round, First leg Liverpool at the City Ground the atmosphere was unbelievable . Forest win and end Liverpool's european dominance .What a team.
went to the hammers yearly nostalgia day at Romford before christmas. Keith Robson, Kev Lock and Dicks were the guests. All top blokes, had time for everyone. :)
It happened back then but nothing like today. Now it's part of the game plan. Players are instructed to feign injuries in order to get free kicks and penalties. Back then the trainer would be screaming "get up you big tart " now they're screaming "stay down stay down"
Hey, Bruce! A comment left on an earlier episode mentioned that it may well have to do with the cost of royalties on the soundtrack. Not sure if it’s true, but may well be. Certainly seems this great stuff would indeed be available in a box set. If you ever come across it let me know!
Mike King here,used to travel over to Old Trafford 3,4 times a season then on the Belfast Liverpool ferry had ,few beers on board great memories.!!!! I
@@redmondlee5174 The players of the past weren't treated like film stars either and have the equivalent of Harley Street doctors looking after health and diet either. I wonder how good they would be if they had been ?
I got nicked arsenal v West ham, a fight by the side of me. I got hit and my natural reaction was to hit out, unfortunately a police officer saw and arrested me I was chuck in this cage with all these west ham I was a Chelsea I went to watch as it q/f of the cup . Let out an hour after the game with a flea in my ear, the west ham lads said fancy going on the piss obviously I said yes a bloody great night
Brilliant, what fantastic football, the excited crowds, not like the sterile rubbish now where half the crowd are on there I phones ! Look at the fitness playing in mud ! Nowadays the so called athletes with there strict diets, sports nutritionists and so on would break down. And nearly all home grown players that managers moulded into a team as opposed to nowadays where they buy one. Bring it all back.
yeh fair comment, just a bitter Hammer at time of writing, seemed Mancs had real support back then, and reputation unlike today, shame but then again that can be said for many a prem club, brilliant atmosphere at old trafford back then.
2 trophies in 28 years pal. that was Venables as a manager. im talking facts., so dont say im the one talking shit for stating facts. Ask the fans of Palace Pompey. Leeds and Australia how good he was. and while at Spurs he took over a top three club and left them a modest mid table team.
Certainly was a very different game back then. The big money that's in the game today didn't exist back then so it was poor stadiums and facilities along with sub-standard pitches. And it was an all-British league, very few foreigners. The games do look very entertaining though and seem to be of a good standard. And it was a much more open competition. Pretty much everyone had a chance to win unlike today where it's the same 3-4 big money clubs that dominate.
Wrong. They're the same weight. FA regs on balls have not changed. The difference is the old balls used to absorb water. Footballs werent water resistant until the early 80s.
It's crazy the team with the most money will go round the world buying the best players and build the best team. Teams like Man City should just buy the cup instead of messing about with this playing football lark
English football has aways been multinational; Scots, Irish, Welsh, commonwealth and a few eastern europeans made the clubs in the seventies strong. But modern Premier League teams struggle to include even one Englishman in their starting line up. The sideways passing is chronic. The new sterile stadiums have turned English football into a corporate day out. The three-foreigner rule should be brought back. You can see what teams entirely made of foreign players in Serie A has done to the Italian national side.
Let's not forget that England failed to qualify for two successive World Cups then...'74 and '78 so you can hardly say that those England teams covered themselves in glory!!
Men in very small shorts, fans squeezed up against their fellow man on the terraces, perms, lots of rolling about in mud... football in the seventies...
@Mr1001Discos If you mean the bit about the bombings,that's Abba-SOS,Next one at the start of the clip about Man Utd-Bachman Turner Overdrive-You Aint seen nothing yet.
Alan Hudson bossed the Germans during that international. After the game Beckenbauer asked "Who was that Hudson, he was difficult to play against?"....this was before youtube and blanket coverage of football.......guess what Revie only gave him one more cap......he liked workers and grafters like Channon not flair players like Hudson, Currie or Worthington.
old Trafford was a football temple then - the stretford end used to blow you away now its a library. we went up to there in january and we had to make some atmos singing amongst ourselves! pathetic
Why I don't go any more mate - you're so right. It makes me desperately sad to think what happened to my football experience and I've said it many times, I'd swop following United in the 70's for the noughties at the drop of a hat.
Don't want to sound like an old git, but football really was unpredictable back then. No such thing as the big four, and any unfashionable club with a good manager was in with a chance of winning the league. Pitches like swamps and players allowed to tackle. Plus, only the very best players were paid well. Now, ordinary footballers who aren't fit to tie the laces of some of these greats, being paid a fortune. I'd like to order a time machine to take me back to the mid-70's please!
agreed look at marsh/hudson/worthington/muhren etc etc and the like and then see liverpool pay 35million for andy carroll?????? and utd 90million for a vidal sassoon model???? give me the old days...
How many of today's prima Donna's would have played on pitches like the old base Ball ground and how many would have survived a Tommy Smith Norman hunter or Trevor hockey challenge
Great days indeed used come over from Dublin on the ferry train up to Manchester to watch the Reds ! Great times ! Sad the way it is now never get that atmosphere back again .
Like everything else today football has been gentrified to suit the middle classes back in the day we were happy with a meatt pie and a cup of bovrifor a bit if scratch now you don't get change from a tenner for your prawn sandwich and machiato8
Remember when your team was basically 7 local lads and 4 Scots? MCFC

Football in the 70s was terrible,and dangerous.And I loved it!
Yes....
Aaahahah real men real sport :)
I loved the chaos of life on the 70's terraces. Not for the faint hearted and will never be repeated.
David Coleman was a fantastic commentator. Sports night with Coleman every Wednesday night
As a hammer of 43yrs old, i loved it when english teams ruled in Europe. The forest back to back wins are great memories..and villa.!
Just wonderful to watch this. No wonder I loved football so much as a kid. The modern game has no passion on and off the pitch.
100% agree I remember the build up to the fa cup finals and looking forward to the match media at the teams hotels and following the team coach on the way to Wembley football was real those days not the prima Dona shite of today

football before it was stolen from the working classes
Bring back standing, I miss the Kippax......

What a mob Chelsea had by the late 70's. Took thousands everywhere and took over from man utd as the worst hooligans.

Fans don't even pay for half their wages. The billionaire owners do and the sponsors. The fans don't even pay for a fraction
The glory days of English football, fanatical fans,cfc😎
Everything about the 1970s was Brilliant football. TV films music..girls cars
Happy days

Wouldn't have missed it for the world. DERBY COUNTY 1974 -1980 MY TEENAGE LOVE.
I'm sure you struggled with the success that forest were having back then though 🤓
Looks like they are on the up again this season.
Imagine Messi and Ronaldo trying to play on those ploughed fields
They cant..

still got this on VHS great series.
Nice one love the old stuff
fantastic stuff,,,,,what great days they were,,,
Imagine those players on today's pitches.
Ah, those were the days. I went to a fight and a game broke out.
😂l remember those days brilliant times work hard play hard
Ha ha, yep, great days.....
“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”

Love to see today's players attempt it on some of those pitches. Also be fun to see today's "hooligans" try it on with the 70's nutters.
Nice one, Keith Robsons goal against Eintract in the C.W.C semi, marvellous night.
No diving or rolling around like some of the big Jessie's today!

Barry Davies wasn't scared of Clough's mouth. And look at the state of them pitches. Absolutely no chance a game would go ahead now.
Love the mud bath winter pitches, great memories.
In 2019, it seems weird seeing players get their shorts dirty
I love all episodes of Match of the 70s and 80s with Dennis Waterman and i cannot find them on dvd!.
