@MANCHESTER UNITED Mate not everyone has to be a soccer fan. Us Aussies are allowed to follow the real Australian game invented in Australia and a massive part of Australian culture, we don’t have to follow, need or want soccer
@@trainco1643 Agreed. I'm from the UK and was an avid Liverpool supporter for 27 years. Then I emigrated out here and got right into the AFL. My boys play the game passionately and we love going to see the Bulldogs. Dont get me wrong, I love the Premier League, but it'll be a sad day when a sport like Soccer that isn't threatened by any other overpowers a true Aussie sport like the AFL. "Up There Cazaly" to me captures that quintessential Aussie Battler mentality. Love it. 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
I remember back in '79 when this came out and I was a soldier in Townsville surrounded by men who played this strange game. I hailed from Queensland and never had much exposure to it. Well, the rest is history for me as one annual leave I went to Melbourne and spent time in Collingwood and was infected with the Black and White bug. Hearing this now gives me goosebumps and brings back very fond memories and God Bless Mike Brady. A well deserved honour.
Well HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!! from here in New York - after watching this I know why I am glad you guys were on our side in World War ll. Bless your people.
@Sinnergism You do realise that the crowd "roar" in this song was taken from a soccer game at Wembley Stadium in the UK don't you? Yeah it suprised me too! lol :- (
mickeydiver17 so true it was so much better back then the first ago game I watched was in 2005 it was the grand final day so I saw all the old grand finals all will never be as good as it was back then
& the 1st game on this video is the Mighty Tigers taking on South Melb before they got shunted up to Sydney. Only fitting as Roy Cazaly played for The Bloods! :- )
I remember living in NSW in 1980 as a 12 year old, everyone called Aussie Rules Aerial Ping Pong. . . then this lil diddy worked it's way up the coast & suddenly it became THE song that captured the heart and soul of Australian sporting spirit
Happy to say that this song was a significant part of my childhood nearly every Saturday watching the footy with my grandparents. The mighty Roy Cazaly
Richmond incorporated this in the game yesterday against Collingwood, and it was truly one of the most inspirational songs ever. I am one proud, Aussie footy lover. 😁 🐯
My Father, who died in 2021, loved his AFL His favourite team was Richmond. He was buried in Richmond colours and we let gold and black balloons go into the air after he was buried. So every Saturday for as long as I can remember, he would play this song as his anthem. You must be so proud of your Great Grandfather. Rest in peace Cazaly ❤❤
03/07/2015 R.I.P PHIL WALSH!!.. A Legend of the game!! My thoughts are with the AFL!!...And to the Adelaide crows stay strong!!!!.........................................THE.......CROWDS.......ON....YOUR .........SIDE!!!!!!!! 💐
thanks for this post, this is the first single i ever bought. I didnt have a record player went to my friends place to play it. I was the only kid who played AFL (the aussie rules)at my school in Brisbane. Whilst this song was a hit all my friends ditched rugby league and played kick to kick trying to mark speccies. Great Memories. As a kid i barracked for Fitzroy as I used to play for Acacia Ridge which had the same jumper. I had the best of two worlds when brissie and fitzroy merged.
ahhhh back when footy was footy, not like now days, look at a guys back and he gets a free. one HELL of a song too, pumps you up big time, should be sung at every grand final!!
I’ve only just noticed that bit at 2:00 where the physio dude comes on to treat the injured player and whacks the other guy in the face. That’s SOOO awesome!!!! 😂
"me,... I like football" Back when player's had a second jobs and fans were on the same level, and player's frustrations were allowed to a certain point.
Interesting how violence on the field was tolerated much more in those days...how many weeks would Stan the man have got for that shirt front on Jezza? And how about EjW,s round house right
@MANCHESTER UNITED Mate not everyone has to be a soccer fan. Us Aussies are allowed to follow the real Australian game invented in Australia and a massive part of Australian culture, we don’t have to follow, need or want soccer
I'm a pom and feckin love Aussie Rules! We don't get to see much of it over here but when we do I'm glued to it - drives the Mrs wild - sat there on a Mon night (we get it three days late here) with me bottle of imported VB and curse the Lord why I wasn't born an Aussie :( I follow the Hawks cos, besides Fitzroy who are no longer, Hawthorn are the only name I remember from when me Dad used to do the VFL pools back in the 70s/80s during the soccer close-season. AFL=best sport in the world! :D
Great comment Mate! It makes me appreciate growing up in Melbourne as an kid, and every Saturday when the competition was the VFL, we would go from one ground to another to watch the games, whether it be Hawthorn vs Essendon or St Kilda vs Footscray etc. That "one day in September" still resonates with me strongly, as the AFL Grand Final happens every year....
This song is the original and greatest Australian Rules Football theme. In 1979 it went to number 1 around Australia and at the time was the biggest selling single in Australia music history. This is when Australia was Australian and in my opinion a much better world than today.
I'm from a town called Tonbridge in England. This song used to play before our local football (soccer) team played their games. The day they stopped playing it a bit of Tonbridge's culture died. Great song.
I was only six but does anyone remember the commentator saying " Footy You're Looking Great " after this played on game day broadcast ? When we bought the single I was disappointed that line wasn't on the record ! We were watching from country SA too!
I have a new kitten, a fishing rod with a toy mouse attached- im in tears to this soundtrack in the background as he jumps a meter or so high. - quite a few traumatic brain injuries in this video
But on weekends comes the time You can do what ever turns you on Get out and clear your mind Me, I like football But there's a lot of things around When you line them up together The footy wins hands down Up there Cazaly In there and fight Out there and at 'em Show 'em your might Up there Cazaly Don't let 'em in Fly like an angel You're out there to win Up there Cazaly You're out there to win In there and at 'em Don't let 'em in Up there Cazaly Show 'em your height Fight like…
Something like 25 years ago I watched this football movie, I'm sure it was The Club 1980, but not certain as I have only seen it one time and I was only 7. I (Think) the ending has a "Spectacular mark" frozen image and this song plays. That's what I can remember, at least. The only lyrics I could remember where "In there like light, up there and at them, show em your might" "Fight like the devil, you're out there to win" and with that tiny bit of information I found this song 15 years later. Most of the time I hate having a good memory, but this is one of the few when it did me a favor
I saw the film The Game on BBC maybe 40 years ago? I remember little about the movie apart from the main character having issues that threatened his career. This tune however, was a fresh earworm when I woke up this morning, and felt compelled to listen to it again. Thanks RUclips. mahna mahna
2nd biggest selling Australian single of all time (after Shaddap ya face) both great. Bring back the football of 30 years ago. Much better than the stop and start garbage of today
More than 20 years ago I saw The Club at my grandmothers place. Of course, I didn't know it was The Club and I had nothing other than my memory to keep note of it. Years later when Google became a thing I tried to look it up. All I could remember were parts of the lyrics and not much else. It was enough however and brought back many good times. Really love this song

Roy Cazaly is my Great Grandfather and it makes me proud every time i hear this song. And i think it's awesome that other people find it inspiring.
Gees imagine what that must be like having a football legend related to you?
DNAK1981 josh p Kennedy is my cousin
Hudson Roche pretty handy player too
DNAK1981 wow, you still reply to comments after 11 years?
@@int.ballerz obviously. 😂
I know this song isn't one for crying but we played it at my Grandpa's funeral because he loved footy so much, I really miss watching with him
annie c I’m sorry mate
That’s such a lovely thing at my funeral I would love that
annie c I'm sure he was a great man
Good on you mate
"Up There Cazaly" is one of those songs that just gets you right there. For a life-long footy fan I'm sure it was quite the send off for him.
one of the greatest songs in australian history
so bloody true true blue Aussie
Matt Shelley ikr this is the Best Aussie song ever

@MANCHESTER UNITED ... slight exaggeration there. There aren't 240 countries in the world.

I know you can't help being a Queenslander, but you actually chose to support Collingwood!?
More like a black and white disease
@M That’s why it’s called Australian rules football, not global rules football
@M Also, there are only 190something countries in the world, How can soccer be massive in countries that don’t even exist?
i openly admit in front of the millions of viewers of this song, i have this on my ipod.
Don't be ashamed! This is classic!
So ya bloody should mate! :P
So do I
Who doesn't
The songs ok, admitting you own an iPods an issue
Well HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!! from here in New York - after watching this I know why I am glad you guys were on our side in World War ll. Bless your people.
byline7844 Nah you were on our side
Matthew Schlein - Well Matty - good of you to admit that. Much appreciated. Cheers.
+byline7844 I mean, he's not wrong. The US didn't get involved until 1941; Australia was called up immediately by England in 1939.
That's the other unofficial Australian anthem (besides Waltzing Matilda).
Not in NSW & QLD but who gives a rats about them hey? lol :- )
AFL is life! Proud to be a Melbournian!
Luke Stubbs life in Gippsland is Footy in the winter, cricket in summer and beer
Wizard (sorry for late response) yeah mate Footy is life in winter. Not too big for cricket but can get into it. Straya n Victoria FTW
Luke Stubbs agreed mate
Oath mate 👍🏻
Yeee
Just a great song - still gives me goosebumps!!!
I was born in 75. this was my childhood theme song! I had it on vinyl as well as Collingwood! Better days!
This song always helps me feel better whenever I'm feeling down or depressed.
Finally found this video again. Life is complete now!
Still the greatest footy song ever written
Loved this song lots of wonderful memories growing up as a kid❤❤❤❤
Should be our new national anthem
Will Coad yes
agree
HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK ME DEAD 😂
Agreed
Football is the national religion
Great songs always give shivers up the spine. Brilliant song.
i dont know why but i keep cying when i hear this song ithink i reminds me of all the footy games ive been to
How's the mighty roar indeed! There is nothing quite like that deafening roar of a hundred-thousand screaming fans in a capacity crowd at the G, no?
@Sinnergism You do realise that the crowd "roar" in this song was taken from a soccer game at Wembley Stadium in the UK don't you? Yeah it suprised me too! lol :- (
yep was there many a time barracking for the mighty tigers
Ah The days when you could drink & smoke at the footy & bring in all the booze you could carry! How times have changed. :- )

Yeah. Three mates going to the footy, two with slabs on their shoulder and the third with an esky full of ice.
Today's footy is appalling because of strictness.
Such a great sport. I live in the USA, and I always stay up late or wake up early to watch the Cats. 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵
Up the cats
Go blues and go blue ;) aha, great to see the game grow overseas, truely one of the hidden sporting gems, Aussie rules.
Do they not show better teams games over there or???
@@lexiright5609Foxtel cable TV
Visitor from Britain. Love the song, love the sport even more!
This was when it was an armature sport., it was so better back in the 70's. none of this "Oh you might hurt someone" crap, it was truly a mans sport.
I remember living in NSW in 1980 as a 12 year old, everyone called Aussie Rules Aerial Ping Pong. . . then this lil diddy worked it's way up the coast & suddenly it became THE song that captured the heart and soul of Australian sporting spirit
Yep this is what my dad use to call it as well. Being a League state.. this game was just.. what the..

True Aussie past time. Gives me the shivers and always will. You opened the door Roy Cazaly, and we all ran through.
2020! Never gets old.
This song still makes me misty eyed. Cant wait for the footy to be back
this song always gives me chills
At the time this song was uploaded i was a baby 👋😂
I sang this at the Scout Jamboree in Dec 1979/ Jan 1980 at Perry Lakes Perth and there was over 30'000 people there.
Wow what a hit of nostalgia from primary school footy days!!
Absolute belter! Nostalgia +++
ahhhh back when footy was footy, not like now days, look at a guys back and he gets a free. one HELL of a song too, pumps you up big time, should be sung at every grand final!!
Up There Cazaly is the Australian equivalent of Take Me Out To The Ball Game.
And there's "C'mon Aussie C'mon" as well
yes indeed
This song is a timeless masterpiece....😊😊😊😊
Awesome video awesome song 🎵
Greatest footy song of all time in my opinion!!
One day carlton navy blues will hear this in the grand final 🙏💙💙💙
I am sitting here in China as i watch this...it made me so homesick. I miss going to the footy a lot.
I’ve only just noticed that bit at 2:00 where the physio dude comes on to treat the injured player and whacks the other guy in the face. That’s SOOO awesome!!!! 😂
The two great Anthems. Your the voice and up there cazaly.
"me,... I like football"
Back when player's had a second jobs and fans were on the same level, and player's frustrations were allowed to a certain point.
VFL!!! nothing else needs to be said.
Interesting how violence on the field was tolerated much more in those days...how many weeks would Stan the man have got for that shirt front on Jezza? And how about EjW,s round house right
what a mark by jezza in the 1970 grand final. peter knights, fantastic
fond memories of some great players . lots of them gone now but still watching the granny from above
Best sport in the world.

@MANCHESTER UNITED fuck off
This song use to be the walk out music for Tonbridge Angels football team in Kent, England, UK...not sure how or why but always gives me the tingles!
still a better song than most songs produced today.
Along with this being a baller tune for the ages, it is a time capsule of Australian history
Every Aussie youtuber HAS to watch this. It's a must do.
I always love listening to this song during the grand final.
Some absolute hangers here.........Trevor Barker, number 1 for St Kilda...awesome!
Still have this on 45!! Love this song! Only thing I know about afl
The first single I ever owned, which I received as a birthday gift in 1979.
Great classic. Love when teddy pulls out the old close line
I love this song my friend always try’s to do these marks on me
thanks for the memories! it brought tears to my eyes!!!!
This more MORE views...More Love...More respect...THIS IS Australian Music!!
this is aussie football.

great song,great footage........well done Mike and Sully
omg I love singing the chorus of this song, I do it at school all the time. Nothing more Australian
Yeahhh...the good old days...Jezza, Hart, Madden & Roach! Before the Abletts. What a great game.
Ablett Sr and Wayne Carey changed AFL as we know it, they were the greatest AFL players to have ever played
What a legend of a tune… I don’t even follow football. But to me this time reminds of the fight in every one of us.

fukn love it mate... i now feel like having a bbq while drinking a beer watchin the footy... u bloody beuty

In there and fight
Out there and at 'em
Show 'em your might

Don't let 'em in
Fly like an angel
You're out there to win
Up there Cazaly
You're out there to win
In there and at 'em

i'm a football (soccer) fan from scotland, aussie rules is the toughest sport ever,i first heard this song in the film the club. go the magpies
I saw Roy Cazaly play. Then there was Alex Jeselenko. What ever happened to really high marks? You never see them any more.
Garry Andrews yeah I know but at least there still is the best sport in the world Aussie rules football real footy

What ever happened to really high marks?? Jeremy Howe takes one a week 🤷♂
makes us proud of our game the greatest game ever!
this song reminds me of when i was a kid!!!!
