Brian was second to none when it came to commentating on football. Unbiased, with such enthusiasm was perfection...No doubt today's commentators could learn from him. RIP Brian.
Brian was my Favourite Commentator of all time , and i 100% agree with your description . You never heard him criticise players on what they should or could have done differently if they messed up, Brian was pure class and sadly missed
Brian was great, but remember the awful Roger Malone, who commentated for ITV in the west country area? In Ireland we always missed the big teams on the Big Match because we only got the west country version of ITV, and we had to watch bloody Bristol City and Bristol Rovers every Sunday.
Those shirts just oozed the club and football. I tell ya, when they started to allow ads on those glorious shirts, that was the beginning of the end for football.

Wasnt around....been watching football since 87. However seen alot of older football. I reckon 69-75 were the golden years of football. Mavericks, rivals, loyalty and rock and roll football
Don's goal was clearly the better and no explanation is required, because he and his team achieved so much and one mistake would have messed it all up, so consider that fact and the amount of skill which made that goal so much better to watch!
The way these guys celebrate goals is so much more classy than todays players. These days most of them act like they've just discovered life on Mars after they score.
Don Rogers - perhaps Swindon's greatest player? Fabulous record. I've lived a few doors away from him for the last 24 years but haven't ever really spoken at length with him sadly.
Don was also known as the handless winger. Keeping his hands tucked away in his sleeves. Think Andy Partridge from XTC came out with this description many years ago on tv.
I picked Brian moore up in my taxi in the early 90s from Hartford train station in Cheshire, He was commentating on Northwich Victoria in the fa cup next day.
That Palace kit is still the best I've ever seen. I'm a Tottenham fan but I had that top that Don Rogers was wearing when he scored that great goal. I'm sure he got a better goal, though, in the same shirt against Man United once.
I know time marches on and all that....but this is the football I remember and used to spend all my time obsessing about- as did all my mates. I don’t even know who wins what these days and don’t even care.
Yep I’m a brentford fan so know a bit about heartache,but other than that I couldn’t care much these days.money has sucked the life out of the game.oh for the days of Bowles,Worthington,Marsh Lee ,the list is endless,sad but true.
Well there i was in 1973 running around a football pitch wanting to go home and watch Match of the Day. I got home to a 19 inch Black and White TV in the small living room. I now watch reruns on a 65 inch TV and can no longer run lol. Oh and i have no hair to speak of.
Growing up in NZ I would watch “match of the day” religiously every Sunday morning. Good o’l days before ‘ankle taps’ would have some rything on the ground clutching the face!
What a player. The best I ever saw when I was following Palace. I remember this day as my father broke his glasses when the goal was scored. How good would he have been on todays pitches? So quick over 10 yards. An amazing burst of speed. I remember these times very fondly. A truely great player. One that was given the opportunity at the highest level he deserved. Thank you Don for all the great times.
I suppose a lot of younger viewers would argue that there are lots of goals like that nowadays. The point to be made is that the pitches were heavier in the old days making football and the execution of chances much harder.
Don Rogers was very loyal to Swindon. He was i believe very well-paid for a lower division player. Had he moved to a 'big' club earlier in his career, people who only followed 1st Div teams would have realized just how skilful he was. He wasn't actually that quick, but a brilliant dribbler and made finishing look so easy. Rarely missed when 1 on 1 with the goalie. Not unlike Jimmy Greaves (though not as fast) in his style, ball control and ice-cool finishing,
as a footy fan born in '69 this footage fills me with a confusing set of emotions, a deep nostalgia i can almost taste. most of the names i do not recognise, though eye have active recall of stan bowles' skills. QPR. the hoops.... i think i just temporarily turned into Ron Manager. i blame Moore.
This was in the Ramsey era, simply refused to select individualists. When you consider some of the donkeys that have been selected for England since that time, it is bordering on criminality that, Rodgers, George, Bowles and Osgood only received a handful of England caps between them. How many international caps would these four have won if they had been born German, Dutch or Brazilian?
@@JC-hu1wd : Well Err he did have three world beating players, Banks Charlton and Moore as well as home advantage, and actually lost the World Cup in Mexico when a couple of individualists, as Brazil had, may well have made all the difference. In any case the post was about four players that I believe would have been given a shed load of international caps if they had been born German, Dutch or Brazilian.
It’s amazing to see how football has progressed. That Osgood goal wouldn’t even be a goal of the month these days. Players are now so much more athletic, the equipment so much better and optimised for the game, and coaching is ten times what it was. Still, a good goal by Osgood!
Football quality was nowhere near as good. This standard wouldn’t even be league standard these days With modern training and fitness, yes, but the end product on this video isn’t particularly good.
@@mrrolight while I agree that the football was crap, football developed as a game played by town V town, city V city and village V village. I do empathise a bit with this. Look at Man City. None of the team know the first thing about life in Manchester. Imagine going to say, Jamaica and seeing the local cricket teams almost entirely made of people from England and Northern Europe. If the locals said “it’s not our game anymore” I would kind of understand their point of view. I am actually married to a foreigner and my daughter is mixed race, I don’t care for the race of the players, if they talk like me and have similar experience to me (eg Ian Wright, rashford, sol Campbell) then I get it. It’s when they can’t even speak English and are literalllt bussed around the world then I start to have doubts on what the game is even about. To me it’s “our lads from Bristol (I’m a rovers fan) against your lads”....it’s why I don’t even watch premiership football - it’s like a bizzare harlem globetrotters thing.
I completely agree. Ignore these other fuckwits. It's the injection of foreign players that has fucked up our national team because our home grown players can't get a look in. It would be much better if clubs were limited to two or three players from overseas, that would give our home grown talent much more time to develop at the highest level.
You can tell The Big Match was a London Weekend Television Programme. We in the South had The Big Match 3 weeks out of 4 Southsport Soccer for the 4th week Presented by David Bobin and a young Martin Tyler [who started his commentary carrer at Southern Television.] In 1982 When Television South won the ITV Broadcast Franchise from Southern Television,The Saturday Match was Presented by Fred Dinage and Gerald Sinstadt moved from Granada to be lead match commentator for TVS,to be replaced by Martin Tyler who moved from the now defunked Southern Television to Granda Television. Patracia Meracdai was Head of outside Broadcast at Granada Television and went o to produce Who Wants to be a Millonare for Colandor Productions. The Saturday Match had matches from Southampton,Portsmouth and Brighton and 2 other games from Granada and Yorkshire Television.All Regional Football Television coverage concluded on ITV in 1988 to be replaced by The Match. 17 LIVEFootball league games a season. Then in 1992 Sky Television took over. HAPPY DAYS! RIP Brain Moore and Hugh Johns. 50 year old disabled viewer. GOD BLESS!
+garry simpson i lived in kent as a lad growing up, i had forgotten about southsport soccer & david bobin. i have to admit, i couldnt stand the programme & couldnt wait for the big match to get back on with that classic big match theme tune.
+jim-bob mclain Me too Jim. As a 51 year old disabled carer for my late and lovely mum I loved The Big Match.Here in the New Forest. I think i the end Southern Television gave up with South sport Soccer in the end. From 1982 here in the South T.V.S. had The Saturday Match before ITV started it"s 10 matches LIVE a season from 1983 until 1987,then The Match 17 LIVE matches 1987 until 1992 then SKY TELEVISION. RIP Mum. From the New Forest GOD BLESS!
London clubs got more of a showing, because smaller regional ITV stations often used The Big Match when they weren't covering a match, including Westward who only had lower division teams, and Ulster.
@@camdentownjohn Very true. In the days when it was 5 cameras for I.T.V. with L.W.T. the only ones who could afford 6 cameras and ACTION REPLYS as early as 1969. HAPPY DAYS!
imagine a Modern player being thrown back in time and ending up playing at a game like the Palace one , he would be pissing in his shorts , looking for his Moisturiser and Man bag , worrying that he might sprain an ankle or mess his hair up playing on a pitch like that with so many Rufty Tufty around him.
It all seems a v long time ago in a distant universe when I was still at school,the world was my oyster(that didn’t turn out too well),and my beloved parents were still here.thank god they didn’t live to see the shithole britain and the world has become.rip football as an entertainment,too!
Osgood`s goal was brilliant. But Charlie`s cannonball was.....well.....if anyone got in the way of that, they would be going home in a fucking ambulance.
@@jeannotschumacher1024 Alf Ramsey only told Peter Bonetti he was playing an hour before the game with West Germany. Bonetti was not match fit and looked totally lost during the game. Apparently Alf Ramsey did not understand how to properly use substitutes, and this was shown when he took Bobby Charlton off with England 2-0 up and only 20 mins to go. Hindsight is a wonderful thing! Thank you for discussing the issue. And I remember the 1972 England v West Germany game (2-3). Germany were a different class and I can remember thinking “Football has changed and English football must change” (it didn’t!).
Bless old Brian Moore, still miss his dulcet tones. A man who truly loved football.

@@mrrolight while I agree that the football was crap, football developed as a game played by town V town, city V city and village V village. I do empathise a bit with this. Look at Man City. None of the team know the first thing about life in Manchester. Imagine going to say, Jamaica and seeing the local cricket teams almost entirely made of people from England and Northern Europe. If the locals said “it’s not our game anymore” I would kind of understand their point of view. I am actually married to a foreigner and my daughter is mixed race, I don’t care for the race of the players, if they talk like me and have similar experience to me (eg Ian Wright, rashford, sol Campbell) then I get it. It’s when they can’t even speak English and are literalllt bussed around the world then I start to have doubts on what the game is even about. To me it’s “our lads from Bristol (I’m a rovers fan) against your lads”....it’s why I don’t even watch premiership football - it’s like a bizzare harlem globetrotters thing.
@@mrrolight Who do you think you are? shut up idiot. Bye
I completely agree. Ignore these other fuckwits. It's the injection of foreign players that has fucked up our national team because our home grown players can't get a look in. It would be much better if clubs were limited to two or three players from overseas, that would give our home grown talent much more time to develop at the highest level.
@@ericgeorge5483 if english players can't get a look in it's simply because they're not good enough ...
You can tell The Big Match was a London Weekend Television Programme. We in the South had The Big Match 3 weeks out of 4 Southsport Soccer for the 4th week Presented by David Bobin and a young Martin Tyler [who started his commentary carrer at Southern Television.] In 1982 When Television South won the ITV Broadcast Franchise from Southern Television,The Saturday Match was Presented by Fred Dinage and Gerald Sinstadt moved from Granada to be lead match commentator for TVS,to be replaced by Martin Tyler who moved from the now defunked Southern Television to Granda Television. Patracia Meracdai was Head of outside Broadcast at Granada Television and went o to produce Who Wants to be a Millonare for Colandor Productions. The Saturday Match had matches from Southampton,Portsmouth and Brighton and 2 other games from Granada and Yorkshire Television.All Regional Football Television coverage concluded on ITV in 1988 to be replaced by The Match. 17 LIVEFootball league games a season. Then in 1992 Sky Television took over. HAPPY DAYS! RIP Brain Moore and Hugh Johns. 50 year old disabled viewer. GOD BLESS!
+garry simpson i lived in kent as a lad growing up, i had forgotten about southsport soccer & david bobin. i have to admit, i couldnt stand the programme & couldnt wait for the big match to get back on with that classic big match theme tune.
+jim-bob mclain Me too Jim. As a 51 year old disabled carer for my late and lovely mum I loved The Big Match.Here in the New Forest. I think i the end Southern Television gave up with South sport Soccer in the end. From 1982 here in the South T.V.S. had The Saturday Match before ITV started it"s 10 matches LIVE a season from 1983 until 1987,then The Match 17 LIVE matches 1987 until 1992 then SKY TELEVISION. RIP Mum. From the New Forest GOD BLESS!
London clubs got more of a showing, because smaller regional ITV stations often used The Big Match when they weren't covering a match, including Westward who only had lower division teams, and Ulster.
@@camdentownjohn Very true. In the days when it was 5 cameras for I.T.V. with L.W.T. the only ones who could afford 6 cameras and ACTION REPLYS as early as 1969. HAPPY DAYS!
imagine a Modern player being thrown back in time and ending up playing at a game like the Palace one , he would be pissing in his shorts , looking for his Moisturiser and Man bag , worrying that he might sprain an ankle or mess his hair up playing on a pitch like that with so many Rufty Tufty around him.
Don still has his sport shop in Swindon.
I'll look him up on ebay!
It all seems like yesterday.
It all seems a v long time ago in a distant universe when I was still at school,the world was my oyster(that didn’t turn out too well),and my beloved parents were still here.thank god they didn’t live to see the shithole britain and the world has become.rip football as an entertainment,too!
Fantastic!
Osgood`s goal was brilliant. But Charlie`s cannonball was.....well.....if anyone got in the way of that, they would be going home in a fucking ambulance.
Peter Osgood goal was pure class!
I've been a fan of Peter Osgood since 1969 and that's the first time I've ever seen that goal.
Magic.
Well, Peter was class.
Sir Alf Ramsey should have picked Peter Osgood in the 1970 World Cup against Brazil and West Germany.
@@tomthomassony8607 and not the keeper against germany😒
@@jeannotschumacher1024 Alf Ramsey only told Peter Bonetti he was playing an hour before the game with West Germany. Bonetti was not match fit and looked totally lost during the game.
Apparently Alf Ramsey did not understand how to properly use substitutes, and this was shown when he took Bobby Charlton off with England 2-0 up and only 20 mins to go. Hindsight is a wonderful thing! Thank you for discussing the issue.
And I remember the 1972 England v West Germany game (2-3). Germany were a different class and I can remember thinking “Football has changed and English football must change” (it didn’t!).
The days of sideburns, moustaches and footballers who didn't fall over writhing in agony if you breathed in their direction.
and shirts were not billboards for gambling shops and airlines. And gotta dig Brian's massive tie knot. I could keep my mobile phone in it.
@@valvlog4665 All true :)
Good to see Mr. Moore again and of course, Jimmy "The Chin" Hill.
good times and goals
The King 6th, Don Rogers was the best out of an incredible group,
The Don Rogers goal was pretty good. It was a great pass by one of my heroes Alan Whittle.
Charlie George...classic seventies icon.
