Best bit of business done by a manager ever. Sold Brian Talbot for £450,000 and bought Thyssen and Muhren for a combined £400,000, and still had £50,000 left over!!!!!
@@gunternetzer9621 Totally agree. At that time I think there were only four foreign players in Div 1 & the Spurs two got all the news coverage - & what was left went to Muhren - but Thyssen was amazing to watch - stuff that never got seen outside Portman Road.
I was 10 and lived and died for Ipswich, as I do now! After the 5th goal went in the United fans started throwing coins and things into the Town fans, the little old lady sitting next to me was hit in the temple with a United bracelet. Sat next to her every other Saturday for 5 years and all she had to say was, it was worth it!
To Robienco1 and Shad: I apologize also. The atmosphere was better in those days, devoid of these poofish social media talking heads who make money with their live streams, subs, and videos from their basement libraries -- dragging and brainwashing fans into spouting their calculated critiques like darned primpy broadcasters.
Ipswich are a really unique and quite special side. Very small town, certainly at this time, and a smallish club but had tremendous success in the game in 1970s and early 1980s. One of the top sides in Europe and a team full of great players. And then before that Sir Alf Ramsey won the championship. So they competed with the very best for a sustained period and will always have tradition in their blood.
@UC8c_TsbXpqmI8zEIx%F0%9F%91%8DbybQYQ Wait, did you just try and correct my grammar by adding a redundancy to my statement? If you were then you could have at least gone for "in any European competition" 👍👍
I was too young to go to this game.. but a big Ipswich Town fan.. my brother, a couple of years older and a Man U fan did go, it was his first game.. when he got home he burst into tears.. I miss those days
I was there,wonderful days to a Ipswich fan. Real Madrid,Barcelona,manure etc etc etc all beaten by a little old team from East Anglia managed by a genius and all done with no money just class
Still one of the most remarkable matches at Portman Road, especially with Johnny Wark out, Mick Mills in midfield and Kevin Beattie as left Wing Back years ahead of his time!
Paul Mariner. RIP. I was at Wembley the night he scored the England winner to beat Hungary and qualify for the 1982 World Cup finals (after 12 years in the wilderness). Misty watercolour memories, of the way we were.
I remember that night well. Trevor Brooking scored with one shot that was so precise that it stuck in the angle between stanchion and crossbar where the nets used to have that curled bit of metal in the corner, with the ball fully over the line, but held up by the metal that joined them.
Great memories - we had a good record against Man Utd in the 70's - 4-0 4-1 3-0 and 3-0 before this 6-0 effort. A few days later I was on a coach to Everton for fa cup sixth round game, we were overtaken by a Millwall fans coach - instead of the usual abuse we might have expected, they were cheering us and holding up six fingers - they really did not like United :)
Probably the last golden age of English football...Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Liverpool winning the league then European cup, different winners of the league cup and fa cup...when they actually meant something.
I remember this as a kid watching the final scores coming through in a TV shop window. Was absolutely stunned by it, six bloody nil. Watched the highlights the next day on The Big Match. Looking back it shouldn't have been a surprise with the likes of Nicholl, Sloane,Houston and Grimes in the side.
What wonderful memories, it all came back. Used to stand in the North Stand, same spot every home game, 3 pints before the match in The Sporting Farmer and a pie with meat- type filling at half time, then back up the A140 to Eye. A lot of the Man U fans were from Suffolk, a couple of lads in our local had gone, fun seeing them at opening time. Thanks for posting.
Abject performance by Man Utd but Mariner deserved his hat trick. Always liked him as a player - good with both feet, brilliant with his head and a good team player. Good temperament too.
RIP Paul Mariner, i had a high view of him...i wonder if a better England manager than Greenwood would have got the best out of him and those players of the time..
Best part of this vid is Man U were 2nd in the table, Ipswich were 3rd. It should have been a close game, Ipswich gave them a shoeing. Ipswich in 1980 were an awesome side.
United fan, was at Ipswich that day, my Bro is Ipswich fan, happy memories, was only a kid, but you could stand and wow, what an Ipswich team, what a team. Didn't Gary Baily save us 3 pens? RIP Sir Bobby.
Brilliant team that Ipswich side was, a bit like the old Leeds team , both clubs should have won more trophies with the side they had....Mariner was my fave player ..
Always great when ManUtd lose, especially when they are hammered. When I was at games in those days, the crowd would always give out a huge roar when a ManUtd defeat was announced.
I don't remember this game or result, but I enjoyed watching it (had to watch when I saw the score in the title!). If it had not been for Richard Clayderman in goal, Ipswich might have had double figures. Ipswich missed two penalties (one of them twice!) and still beat Man Utd 6-0!
i was 9 and it was the first bombshell disaster i suffered as a MU fan. The next was 4 years later at Everton, 5-0 that day. Fortunately we havent had many in 40 years.
meisterly manu Still some decent Utd players there. Some shit as well. This summed up the Sexton years for me. He was a shocking manager. I remember the Utd fans chanting “Sexton out, Smurfs in”!! He was the 70s/80s version of Moyesey. At least Atkinson brought us 2 FA cups and a bit of Champagne football back. I’d forgotten how bloody good that Ipswich side were. They had some amazing players. We later poached Muhren and Brazil. Muhren was good for us, Brazil not so much. And to think, on this occasion John Wark wasn’t even playing!!! Bless Sir Bobby. Class act.
Our coach driver thought United were playing Norwich and was almost there (travelling along the A47) before the mistake was realised. Due to this it looked like we’d be late arriving for the match and my fried lamented “we’ll probably get beaten 7-0!”). We got into the ground just as the game was kicking off. I seem to remember that Dave Sexton told Martin Buchan to mark Eric Gates who dropped back into midfield leaving a massive 'hole’ in our United’s which Ipswich exploited to the full. TBC
I was a kid at this game, Ipswich fan , I remember Kevin Beattie juggling with the ball just waiting for a Utd player to bother to come and challenge him for the ball, was probably 5 or 6 nil by that stage. Great team . Pity Newcastle didn’t get Bobby Robson after KK left for the 1st time , might have done better than he did when he arrived some time later.
Oh, I don't know. Ipswich are currently top of League One and Manchester United are heading for a relegation dogfight. They could both be in the Championship next season!
@@daddykornflakes Which United? There are many. If you are referring to Manchester United, in 1979/80 they finished 2nd, amazingly (after this dreadful performance). They also finished second in 2020/21, which was a lot better than the season that has just finished.
@@portcullis5622 I was referring to Manchester United, as you had mentioned them, and I was replying to you and the season you mentioned, and because your RUclips comment just said '2 years ago,' I wasn't sure which season that was. I doubt any of the so-called big six will ever be demoted to the Championship, because times have changed so much and they'll unfortunately be permanent fixtures. The late 60s, 70s and early 80s days are gone forever, although Leicester winning the league from out of the blue in 2016 was like a breath of fresh air, only previously seen by Forest in 78 and Ipswich in 62, insofar as totally unexpected title wins go.
Not sure how Nicholl stayed on the pitch after being (rightly) booked. He called the referee a "twat" and there were at least two "fuckings" in there as well! When I played Sunday morning football we would have been sent off for much less than that! Then he followed that up by conceding a penalty with a foul that was definitely bookable, but he got away with it!
Anybody who thinks things are bad now well think again. I was at this game, the football special back to Piccadilly broke down somewhere in the middle of nowhere and we got to Manchester just before 4am. I had no money just missed the 101 night bus not another one for 2hours so I walked home to Baguley. SEXTON OUT !
+Craig Windram For a moment there Craig I thought you were going to alk about the Man United performance in this game, by eck times were tough back then, coming from an Evertonian , and ive only ever been to one away game, id love to see us play like Ipswich did back then.
Amazing what moving off the line was considered to be back then.The keepers barely move at all. Been watching football videos from the 70's a lot recently and seen this call many times.
2:41 - "Unfortunate [Gary Bailey's] father wasn't able to come from South Africa to see this game." I imagine Bailey thought afterwards that was for the best, all things considered, even with the penalty saves.
People getting their sense of perspective wrong with this one. Man Utd were not a "world club" back in 1979-80. True, they had a very good support in England on the back of Munich and George Best but they certainly weren't the club they are today.
Rubbish ... Man U finished runners up to Liverpool that year and only just missed out on the championship ... class side but Ipswich were a class above for a small period ...
True united were a massive club with huge support some great players and the biggest and best stadium in the country but didn’t have great teams . that season was prob the only time we contested for the title in the 70s,80s , we were just a decent fa cup team in reality.
Must have been a sight after the game seeing all those shell shocked United fans heading home to ..London...Exeter.....Coventry...Worcester.......The Shetlands...
Detomaso Pantera There was the uncharacteristic mistake by Coppell for the 6th. Some of Bailey’s positioning was shocking that day. He became a decent goalie mind. I saw him play his debut, actually against Ipswich in 78, where we beat them. Sloan, who? Ashley Grimes was rubbish, no offence. This team was just disjointed, even if we did have almost half the Scottish National team in our side.Typical Dave Sexton organisation, he was out of his depth. Taking nothing away from Ipswich & Sir Bobby. They were a great side.
United had just come back from a friendly against Red Star Belgrade, which they also lost 0-6. I don't know what went on in those few days but otherwise they were strong that season. Took the title battle to the last day.
Gary Bailey saved them from further embarrassment ... he did the best he could. Wonder what David de Gea would have done after some recent Karius moments?
one of those matches where manu were beaten black and blue....poor bailey stopped 3 penalties(one of them retaken) and some last ditch clearences stopped them from conceiving more
What a bad match for Man U! Thank you for the upload, we can see the United of the 70's-80's, even if they didn't win not many trophy in that period it was a great team...
I hope United had been out on the lash the night before. Otherwise.... Pity Sir Bobby never got a chance to manage at United. I think we could have done great things with him in charge.
I think the high light was when Jimmy Nicholl playing for man u kicked the ball at the Ipswich player 10.47 or so and called him a Twat lmfao pure class from the Belfast Man
Bit of an urban myth that Bailey saved 3 penalties. One was taken twice so regardless if he saved the one that didn't count it was only 2. What was most astonishing was keepers didn't wear gloves those days! LOL!
Never seen such inept defending by a First Division side, not even one headed for relegation. Had I been a United fan at the time, I would have demanded an investigation. Could gambling interests have affected the outcome?
Cont. Ipswich had a great side in the late 70s/early 80s and if they’d have played as well in the first half of 79-80 (13th with 21 points after 21 games) as in the second (picking up 33 points out of a possible 42) they’d have won the league with points to spare. United had a fantastic away following in the late 70s/80s which unfortunately contained a lot of undesirables who often went only to cause trouble e.g. at Norwich in 77 which led to a short ban (although this was easily circumvented!).
What a team.....what a manager.....I’m a United fan remember this game....RIP Mr Robson....top top manger.

It was Bobby Robson, surely
Lmfao
Wow, Gary Bailey saved two penalties in a row, and three in the game...
Well three awful penalties
Didn't ipswich miss 3 penalties as well it should have been 9 correct me if I am wrong it was a long time ago wasn't there saw it on TV
Ah, the old days, when Manchester United had a decent team.
Decent team? They got fucking hammered.
utd runners up that yr
@@geoffreycliff7020 Sarcasm?
If The Doc had still been in charge, they might just have won the title that season.
Fantastic team 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
We had a good striker then!
Super team 🚜🚜🚜🚜
Rumour has it Giggs was nearly on the bench
Bad day for Man Utd.
I hope United had been out on the lash the night before. Otherwise....
Pity Sir Bobby never got a chance to manage at United. I think we could have done great things with him in charge.
I think the high light was when Jimmy Nicholl playing for man u kicked the ball at the Ipswich player 10.47 or so and called him a Twat lmfao pure class from the Belfast Man
Broke down on the way to the game.Thank fuck for that but had an enjoyable day in a pub in Wisbech instead.
Bit of an urban myth that Bailey saved 3 penalties. One was taken twice so regardless if he saved the one that didn't count it was only 2. What was most astonishing was keepers didn't wear gloves those days! LOL!
No urban myth pal , he did save 3 penalties regardless of whether they count or not the fact is 3 penalty kicks were taken & 3 saved.
Now you cant beat Barrow. Oh deary me how the mighty have fallen
Unfortunately this result will never happen again for town
So they used to won with such a score, no wonder they scores 6 nowadays
No playing out from the back or use of wing backs !!!!!!
🍺
Never seen such inept defending by a First Division side, not even one headed for relegation. Had I been a United fan at the time, I would have demanded an investigation. Could gambling interests have affected the outcome?

It’s just as well Bailey saved 3 penalties
Cont. Ipswich had a great side in the late 70s/early 80s and if they’d have played as well in the first half of 79-80 (13th with 21 points after 21 games) as in the second (picking up 33 points out of a possible 42) they’d have won the league with points to spare. United had a fantastic away following in the late 70s/80s which unfortunately contained a lot of undesirables who often went only to cause trouble e.g. at Norwich in 77 which led to a short ban (although this was easily circumvented!).
