Brilliant to hear the noise of the crowd as the players walk out for the cup final in the sunshine to a packed Wembley stadium. No empty corporate seats on the half way line. When football and moreover, the world was about the people and not just money and the self. It's not being an old man to say things were better back then, it's the undeniable truth!
They really didn't have all that many seats to speak of in stadiums back then, let alone corporate ones haha! Jokes aside, those chicken shed seatless terraces were where British football had its soul and passion. I miss that dangerous, oppressive look so much that only flimsy fences and thousands of packed heads could produce. That was the look that ignited my passion for football in the 80's. That fire & brimstone element has been all but purged I'm afraid. I only watch south american football now.
Yeah.....and he was a bitch to get in the 1980 panini sticker album,....him and Paul mariner of Ipswich ...cost me a bloody fortune....even me old man sacrificed some of his beer and fag money in my quest ...I was unaware I could have sent of to complete my collection....what a tool I was..!!!
His header vs Spurs was The second best goal ever scored at Anfield! Imo of course. The Best goal ever scored was by David Faircluogh vs Everton, when he cut inside from the right wing. If you dont believe me, check it out again with your own eyes!...and tell me l am wrong! YNWA
@@stephencharlesgrace4542 Well I am no Liverpool fan but as a neutral Terry Macs goal was superb build up play... Faircloughs was loocl derby 5 mins to go so i can see why u would say it.... Terry Mac never let me down getting his trademark goal in euro cup final with late run...happy days
I couldn,t agree witcha any more bro! The guy should,v won many more caps for England, and was as good as Salah on the right flank. imo. He ran like he had just finished running a marathon, it wasn,t quite 'running' as we see it, more of a blend of gallop, desperation, legs not keeping up with mind, and a unique style of swinging his body to and fro like he was dancing! And yea, l aint never forgetting the feeling l felt whwn he got the opener in 77, in Rome! Terry Mac....proper scousee!
Football really has changed since. less passion, loyalty, and patience. Can't imagine top players staying in the second division. Small teams actually wanting to win cups and not just finish top half. Ultimately football was raw and felt more in touch with the local people and not what it is now. But when football brings in so much money it was bound to change.
Anyone else think the old Division One League Championship trophy is so much better looking than the Champions League look-a-like Premier League trophy ?
You just realise how great the players were in the days of muddy pitches, ....having to perform week in week out on bog like pitches,......and when hard tackling was part and parcel of the game..... Players in these times had a rollup your sleeves , and have a bloody good go attitude to games,.....the modern players are far more pampered, ......and only play on perfectly manicured pitches.....there was a raw grittiness to games in the 70s and 80s....great times
Charlton only said what he did because he wasn't a particularly good player. You don't "make it hard for good players to play" by kicking fuck out of them, you make it hard for them by being good yourself.
I don't agree. If you want to "make it hard for skilled players" then play as well as them. He's basically saying there's a place for less skilled players who are strong and play dirty. As for all this cant about "it's a man's game" - I'm afraid I've got sick of watching Hunter, Harris, Souness & later Keane trying to break people's legs because of a grudge, or to "let them know you're there"
Poor Justin Fashanu. Hanged himself in a warehouse in Shoreditch. It was said he was gay, and even now it's taboo in football - hundreds, maybe thousands of players in the league in 2020 and not one is gay? Not plausible, is it? The Arsenal slag Young would see a red card these days for that "tackle". Allen's goal would have been the most romantic in Cup Final history.
Funny to hear them complain about big money signings and the ridiculous transfers back then - nowadays is gone full on insane with an average player costing 40 or 50 mill, was the start of the madness back then.
Pietro Pes good point my friend the day football stopped being a game and became a business was the day Brian clough bought Trevor Francis for a £million unfortunately and children are starving in the world well players are costing and earning ridiculous amounts of money it’s pathetic I’m 57 and I’ve seen so changes and not for the better either before long and they have been talking about this since the 70s there will probably one league in every country and a super European league
Why are they always using "Notts" Forest? This must make Forrest Fans nuts. Nottingham Forest Football Club, not "Nottinghamshire" Forrest. Wow, so the TV Company did not know what it was doing back in the day.
And the prize for most improved individuals in 40 yrs of football goes to... THE GROUNDSKEEPERS. Forests pitch in particular looks unplayable by current standards and they were European Cup holders.
This is the point. Good players could play on any pitch. Today's players are a bunch of pima donnas who want everything perfect and winge and wine if it isn't. Though, it is good the see we don't get those types of pitches any more.
I like that bit where John McGovern squares up against Graeme Souness! I personally wouldn't have done that! Souness broke an opponent's jaw once, didn't he?
Yes, Lica Movila of Dinamo Bucharest in the first leg of the European Cup semifinal at Anfield in 1984. Souness got away with it, too, as none of the officials saw it. Nor was it picked up on any of the then relatively few TV cameras at the game. Souness played a starring role in the second leg and in the final (both of which were played on the ground of their opponents).
oh my god football was so good bad pitches thats why the football was so special todays players would not even walk on the pitches would be to muddy for there designer boots
@@shadowxxxyt9589 Highlights of that match were broadcast on ITV’s The Big Match. Commentary by Gerry Harrison. Certainly available on CZcams. It wouldn’t have been included in this series, which was a BBC TV production.
What a era . played Subbeteo....Mum used to iron the pitch if it was wem ley ..Push the boxes in like they were the coaches ..line em up and hum the Anthem with a plastic soldier as guest going along line.... Daft now .. Remember Gemill got trod on n fixed with sellotape...Never same player for Forest again but ok for Scotland. Ha ha
Young, black and gifted 😳😳😳 Fantastic players but what an innocent statement looked upon as racism today. This is why we all have mental health issues.....the goalpost keeps getting moved!!
Keegan during his playing days before he joined Newcastle often makes me cringe. And I would think all Newcastle & Rangers fans would hate Dalglish with a passion.
giving Malcolm Alison an open cheque book was when City signed their own death warrant. (£1.5 mil for Steve Daly...wtf was that about)...it wasn't long before they found themselves squelched in the 3rd tier of English football.. l wonder what ramifications City will suffer following their latest quest to buy success. l hope after Guardiola is similar to after Alison.
Commentator drunk from the night before Maradona was 19 not 17 lol but they'll always get norman Whiteside age right all the time OH THE 17 YEAR OLD OH ITS THE 17 YEAR OLD WHITESIDE LOL.. and Trevor Francis OH THE MILLION POUND MAN LOLL
You’re dreaming mate those Liverpool player you just mentioned Won about three European cups each The problem with England is they always put the their faith in absolute wankers just take the 82 World Cup Tony Morley should’ve gone from Villa was playing the best football of his career but Who did they take instead Graham fucking Rix and that’s always been the problem picking the wrong fucking Players Jimmy case is another one tragic Story should’ve had 70 odd England caps
And Ray Kennedy was possibly one of the best players of the 70s and early 80s feared by teams all over Europe big strong powerful Geordie that can score goals from midfield and yet England fucked that one up as well absolutely tragic

Terry McDermott was a really fantastic footballer. He’d be worth 10’s of millions if playing today..
Yes plus no tackle from behind or the back pass!
I'm a forest fan of over 40 years my god I'm crying in joy and sadness so many of these great people are gone now r i p with love and fond memories
Likewise I feel like that watching these, some absolutely fantastic people no longer with us
Not annoyed that they refer to you as Notts?
McDermott’s goal at Spurs and Fashanu’s wonder-volley against Liverpool were very special goals.
That Fashanu goal was a beauty..
George Berry behind Emlyn Hughes when wolves picked up the league Cup, what a player.
A pivotal year. You can literally see the perm morphing into the mullet in this show
One of LFCs greatest .....and underrated ....players..Terry Mac!

Admiral and Umbro designed and made my favourite football kits
Just lovely to watch Ray Wilkins with the ball at his feet.
FOR AN OLD FELLA OF 74, ! MARVALOUS JUST MARVALOUS !!
I would call in marvelous
I'd say marvellous had two 'L' s yer twit!@@sockington1
Can't believe we forgot how bad the pitches were, how good were those players
i do like a bit of mud though
They were awful at times. I recall many a game being played in fog too....you don’t see that these days

Not to mention the heavy balls which were more difficult to control or curl.
Jack Charlton was spot on with his comment

...dirty Leeds.
@@philljenner4045 hey Phil how's it going totally agree mate please stay safe and your family from Warrington England take care
He played centre half in a world cup winning team and even Brian Clough said he'd pick him in his all time eleven. He was a great player.

13:05 He hit that so hard it made the VCR heads shake.
Big Jack's right when he says football's a physical sport. It's a man's sport - or at least it used to be!
RIP Trevor
RIP to the first million pound player in English football
Thanks for a great series Paul-I think the team of the Seventies was Liverpool and the outstanding player based on this film evidence Dalglish!
That 7-0 was a great day, bright sunshine,30,000 locked outside, European champions and that brilliant 7th goal by Terry Mac
Back when Alan Brazil didn't resemble a strawberry

Love this keep them coming Willie Young's foul in the cup final on Paul Allen back then would've been a red card now and I'm a GOONER 6:50
Nothing whatsoever controversial about that penalty v Liverpool. The keeper threw himself at the Forest player
TBH I'm a Liverpool supporter & I thought the same thing.
Clear penalty, I'm not sure why they were complaining.
The Forest player doesnt even try to get the ball. He changes direction and goes into Clemence. Six of one and half a dozen of the other.
I thought the year before was the dodgy one,pat partridge, never forget that
The new MOTD theme tune lasted one week. Thank fk
Gawd it was horrible
It was better than the standard one.

Maradona was 19 when he played at Wembley against England in May 1980, not 17.
25:12 for a young David Icke lol
Haha - didn’t notice till you pointed him out! Fking lunatic!
No VAR or goal line technology, linesmen who run the length of the pitch on both sides...it didn’t seem broken to me...
Holy crap you’ve returned. Welcome back!
Haha. Thanks. Going to try and get them all uploaded again. Sometimes they get auto-blocked by UEFA copyright claims though.

1.5 million for Steve Daly. 4 goals in 48 games. 4 decades later, still the worst signing in history of Manchester City.
No. That would be that German left back that Alan Ball? signed. Can't remember his name
36:38 … remember watching that in the final, didnbt support either team but I thought "You hacking b*stard!"
They show Man Utd 1 Ipswich 0 but not the 6-0 tanking Utd got in return
Was that the same game where they lost 6-0 but Gary Bailey still managed to save 3 penalties?
That is so right I remember that day so well but yeah they never showed it but we remember don't we
Kinda strange: this was the only episode in which ITV footage was shown, but not a single thing of the 6-0 game (which was shown on, yes, ITV!).
Back when the grass was more mud than grass
33:55 Terry McDermott looks like jaws from James bond movie 😆😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆😆🤣
, if you want man united what's their goalkeeper Gary Bailey every time someone shoot at goal ne rolls over about 5 time just watch ❗
Terrible pitches.
A shame Glenn Hoddle and Terry Mac were not utilised more by England. The manager was unable to exploit their skills to develop England.
utd at leeds last game. a day leeds try not to remember such was our support there.
red flag the one where you had to bring your ‘citeh’ rivals along to help you? And still lost! 😂 loooooooooooool
The most impressive performance that season was Ipswich putting 6 past Man United who were 2nd at the time....
They didnt show it either....

scherben another false dawn for us that season.
Was there ever a Super Cup match between Nottingham Forest v Ipswich Town?
Yep think Forest won' that charity shield match 5-0 at Wembley
That new theme tune was seriously bad! So glad it only lasted one week

raw rancid and real, great days for football and music, needless to say i don't bother much with todays corporate big money wankers.
Woow, in Romania the majority of the stadiums are now as dirty as the british stadiums were in the 1970s.
not dirty....just old
yes, and going to football was far more fun
30:33 even King Kenny was fallible
The linesman’s flag only partially spared his blushes!
ha ha ha did u c how many ipswitch fans in the scoreboard end it was like 50
Peter Barnes hasn't stopped moaning about being let go to this day lol - also 1.5 million for Steve Daly? LOL
And he was crap at West Brom ...he sort of took over from Laurie Cunningham !! say no more

and Trevor Francis OH THE MILLION POUND MAN LOLL
not a single Liv player did it for England. Clemence, Mcdermott, Neal, Lee, Kennedy, all flopped. Proves the scots carried that team.
Did they fuck
No it was because England played the traditional long ball or similar mentality. Liverpool's style of play was more European.
You’re dreaming mate those Liverpool player you just mentioned Won about three European cups each The problem with England is they always put the their faith in absolute wankers just take the 82 World Cup Tony Morley should’ve gone from Villa was playing the best football of his career but Who did they take instead Graham fucking Rix and that’s always been the problem picking the wrong fucking Players Jimmy case is another one tragic Story should’ve had 70 odd England caps
Also Wilkins was absolutely shit compared to Terry McDermott couldn’t wear his fucking boot laces but Wilkins was always Picked
And Ray Kennedy was possibly one of the best players of the 70s and early 80s feared by teams all over Europe big strong powerful Geordie that can score goals from midfield and yet England fucked that one up as well absolutely tragic
11.45 the most overrated player in the history of the game
You are deluded and know F,A , I am not a,spurs fan either. Trevor Francis was really overrated
36:36 A yellow card for that
Terrible pitches.
there wasn't the money in the game there is now where every team has an army of grounds men and under soil heating...and not EVERY pitch was terrible
Pitches for proper football.
