- The Kick Off Match episode broadcast by Granada on 20th April 1980, featuring highlights of games played the previous day - Liverpool v Arsenal, Sheffield Wednesday v Chester and Norwich v Man United. The meeting between Liverpool and Arsenal was a league game in the middle of their FA Cup semi-final marathon.

football in the 1980s for me late 80s was magic. BHAFC down the Goldstone Ground. Magical days.
Love football from these times,...it's a money obsessed racket now,....give me proper football from the 70s and 80s anytime....great times
Chris Evans - Totally Agree. But don’t forget the 60’s as well.
Yes the 1960s aswell, the game I see today is all about MONEY.....pampered players with greedy agents fighting for contracts worth fortunes , and players showing a lack commitment and loyalty to clubs... , ....and is the actual game on the pitch better?......I don't think it is, to much diving and cheating ,....no the 60s, 70s and 80s was golden times for football, , even the old grounds had their own heritage and better atmosphere,....now all new grounds look the same,...soulless bowls ,without the quirky quaintness and nostalgia of the grounds of years ago......miss those great times
You mean terrible pitches, kick and rush football and crowd violence? 😉
@@cityzens634 would say football faster rush, now than it's ever been, was slower then more tackles etc I would say
When lockdown ends let's not go back & leave them to it. I don't watch anymore & just watch here how it used to be including the '90s. They can stuff their millions up where the sun don't shine!
Sheff Wed keeper without gloves!!! Now, the keepers won't go out without hair gel. #OldSkool
Arsenal and Liverpool played each other about 5 times in that month. FA Cup Semi Final where Arsenal eventually won at Highfield Road
15 times. Arsenal won them all.
Used to love the previews written on Ceefax and ITV Oracle. That was my world on a Saturday. Now we live in a world with kick offs on a Friday Night!
Brian Talbot must have played just over 60 games in that season, quite amazing as he runs non stop every game just about.
Amazing stuff here - signs of a sports broadcaster trying to look towards the future and not really managing it. Fascinating watching the Kick Off Match shows from early 1980, not least because bits of the format seems to be changing every week at this point, as if trying out ideas before ITV's shift to Saturday night highlights the following season.
So we had Elton Welsby interviewing the managers during the game at Man City v Bolton a few weeks ago, and now we've got players in the studio doing the news round-ups. Judging by some of the technical cock-ups, notably the way Terry Neill's post-match interview gets cut off mid-question, it seems as if this show went out live from Quay Street on the Sunday, rather than all the links being recorded at the ground on the Saturday, as had previously been the case,
Elsewhere on CZcams, there are the first few minutes of the Man Utd v Liverpool game broadcast on April 6, where Welsby does the intro on the pitch as the players emerge, and then Gerald Sinstadt talks over a brief shot of each player, and it goes on for ages and you think he's going to do all 22 of them - but then it cuts off after about 14, as if he ran out of time.
It all very much smacks of the style of Paul Doherty, Granada's head of sport at the time. Doherty had a reputation for being very creative, and coming up with loads of ideas (something he demanded of everyone else who worked for him - and he was a fearsome man by all accounts) - but those ideas frequently fell down on the technical side, because that wasn't his strong point. So Granada's sports output could be amazingly innovative, while also looking a complete shambles. The Kick Off Match (a simultaneously brilliant and terrible title for a football highlights show) was often more eye-catching than The Big Match, but never anywhere near as slick.
Paul Doherty was working for LWT under John Bromley and Jimmy Hill (hence some involvement with the World Of Sport FA Cup Final coverage culminating in travelling with and interviewing Sunderland players on the coach to Wembley in 1973) before returning to his native North West to become Granada TV's Head Of Sport from 1976-95 a job he held for 19 years
Elton Welsby hosted sport on Granada TV football, cricket, boxing, snooker, bowls and darts.
He also hosted Rugby League with RL Action
When footballers were footballers. Now its 11 spoiled millionaires versus another.
Not heard that stupid cliche before
Brilliant thank you :-)
Im an Oldham fan and would be so grateful if you could find any of the episodes with my team involved.
Andrew Jablonski I went to see United play at Oldham twice first time in 91/92 and then in 92/93. The 91/92 game was bloody freezing!! One of the coldest grounds I’ve been to and you think I’d be used to it being born up the road in littleborough!!
My first ever trip to Oldham with Tranmere was a 2-2 draw in 3rd round of FA Cup also in about 1991 or 1992 time and totally agree. Don’t think I have ever been as cold at a football game as that day. Boundary Park in the winter is ❄️ 🥶
D A very true. I think I thawed out about 2 hours after the game!!
And the referee for the Liverpool game, George Tyson had a long career as a referee if I remember right. He was still taking charge of first division games in the early 90’s I think.
Yes I remember Mr Tyson he once upset us Norwich fans!
Loving these videos. Don’t suppose you have the Kick-Off showing the games from 3/5/80 including Bury’s 2-1 win at Blackburn do you?
Old shows? Big tie knots? Fellows chatting away while being introduced? Jumpers down as goalposts?
Jack Theladd isn’t it, hmm?
An early glimpse of Ian Rush at 39:25. And why did the cameras miss the first Sheffield Wednesday goal by showing an action replay, in a recorded game?
Is it because they didn't have the facility to insert the replays post-match?
Martin Tyler didn't say "And it's live"
They certainly had the facility, as that was done by virtually everybody for all replays on recorded football until around the late 70s. The commentators had to memorise the move and hope their words matched the pictures.
Then around this period they gained the budget to have replays available on-site, but it was often the case that only one feed could be recorded rather than multiple cameras, so you’d record the mixed output or you’d select one camera for all replays to provide a different angle as in the Norwich game (Granada had the budget to do both)…clearly Yorkshire selected the output for their replay machine and had no way of re-showing the goal because - while it was caught by the cameras whilst they were in a replay - it was not recorded
This would have been the third of five meetings in a month for these two teams, and seven in all for the season.
Great fan of John Hollins during my London days. Watch him at Loftus Road, worth the entrance fee, on his own. Not out of his depth in this company of many greats.
The days when shirt numbers were 1 to 11 and not allsorts of fancy pointless nonsense
any Blackpool fans remember a home game featured in around February / March 77 as a lot of division one games were postponed because of bad weather , i can,t remember who it was against , but expect it was a rare visit from the tv cameras. ( just did a check on 76/77 games for Blackpool , its either Blackburn on feb 12 or v Notts county on feb26 i would say, Bolton on march 12 only other game it could be , although Bristol rovers game on jan 22 possible. )
Excellent picture quality, was it HD-ified?l
22 British footballers on a football pitch
Darrell Andrew Most wouldn’t make it into the premiership if they played today.
that liverpool team could win the world cup as great britain
@@cityzens634 yeah cos premiership is rugby.premier League is football duh
@@NOTODIVERSITY123 Awww does that make you feel big? 🤣 Premiership is used all the time by everyone it’s interchangeable. Get a life ffs you boring little troll.
Players were more like long distance runners back then,now they're more like sprinters.Fewer injuries then also and fewer complaints about being tired or rolling about when tackled.I'm nearly sure i heard Ian Rush say he was getting £450 odd pw in early 80's
That wasn't bad money back then, I was earning £480 a month as a reception manager in a garage at the time, agreed it's not the same as the outrageous money they earn today even allowing for inflation.
I remember that it was rumoured that the very top players were getting £1K per week in the early 80s, so £450 was a good wage for Rush even in his early Liverpool days.
@@jonathancole833 Yip,used to be a working class sport,sadly those days gone.
That intro music is like something out of a bad porno 😄 great upload, BTW. Thanks.
Whatever happened to Elton Welsby
68 now retired. class presenter
Distantvoices do you remember the kop doing much of that, the smoke bomb thing??
Mr Kipling I remember the ditti song to the tune, Distant Drums.
distantvoices I bet it wasn’t a full bottle!! Especially if it was a beer bottle!!😂😂
I remember the CS gas canister at the Man Utd game in '86 😂😂
My mum used to fancy Elton Welsby.
I turned 5 on this day in 1980
1 sub...class
Boom Shanka they get too tired now!!
Lucky Arsenal.
They should have been 2 or 3 down by half time, Liverpool hit the woodwork twice.
Was this a North West T.V progrmme?
It was Paul. Granada television.
33:45 Nice jacket Phil, lapels....
Didnt realise EWwas known (albeit up North somewhere) before The Big Match
Elton Welsby was also doing the news on Midweek Sports Special, doing the training camp reports on ITV's World Cup and Euros coverage becoming the co-presenter in 1990 and main presenter in 1992 and covering for Dickie Davies on World Of Sport around this time as well as Kick Off before taking over on The Big Match then becoming the lead presenter for The Match which The Big Match became
Good ole Clive.
Willie Young must have been quite tall, he always looks half a head taller than everyone else on the pitch when I watch these old games.
Robert Boyle According to an Arsenal programme I found when I moved he is 6ft 2ins.
He's got Alzheimer's sadly, like Jack Charlton & Gordon McQueen, they done a lot of heading defending & then going up to head the ball in from corners. Heading is part of this sport, as is getting punched in the head by boxers.
That's a shame.@@seltaeb9691
And you think they could have found a red smoke bomb instead of a green one!!
Kenny Dalgleish.
World class
apologies here.
Kenny Dalglish.
The white trim on the Liverpool kits was always pink in those days. The kit lady must have used a hot wash
The good old days when people were Male or female
@@paulrawsthorne5963 And men were confident enough to sport pink trim on their kit.
They have always had pink in their kits look nowadays and it's still there
Can not bear to watch football nowadays
How wooden were Mackenzie and Tueart? Good job they could play football!
Thank goodness for the autocue!
Elton Welsby class
Should of have gone sky sports!
How the hell did we remember what teams we were watching or what score it was.. without any bloody idiot scoreboard permanently shown in the top left hand corner of the screen...? Sky must have thought football fans are stupid...or have memories like goldfish!!
15th April 1989 changed football forever. well football stadiums anyway. Heysal 1985. fast forward to 1992/93 Premier league and football as we knew it changed forever. dancing girls Friday night football and fireworks glitzy glamorous and stacks of Sky money. SKY were showing games as early as 1988. I remember a United v AC Milan game shown by sky. Now the kids are 0n 50k a week and havnt played a game yet. The players are like film stars and its just about a none contact sport. Players cartwheeling all over the pitch as soon as another player comes near them. Clubs became playthings for any billionaire who liked the sound of soccer. your more likely to be sitting next to a Japanese chap at Chelsea or United the locals have formed there own club and clubs in the lower league are folding or in administration as we speak. That's not football that's just business and the real football fan just suffers in silence.
That’s what you call a tie, none of that modern rubbish.
Are you the real Chris Evans who was shit on top gear😃😃😃😃
There was football before the premier league. Though if you watch sky you wouldn't think so. You would think pep guardiola invented football
Gary Owens He reinvented total football after Cruyff
@@cityzens634 pity he doesn't develop his own players and not spend millions. He is an excellent coach. All im pointing out is that there was good football before the premiership started. After all he hasnt won the champion's league since 2011.
Pep made English football better and rejuvenated the premier League and premiership isRUGBY..duh
`........and United are in the dark shirts´ Still catering for those with black and white tv´s.
Loathe football now...never watch MOTD.....absolute crap!
Am sure the BBC are gutted
MOTD now is just rubbish. Before there used to be 3 matches that were lengthy in hightlights.
I don't like the analysis too. Maybe I'm getting old!
Can't stand jug ears, it's unwatchable
@@LIVERNIL723 your right it's garbage..no decent commentators anymore and analysis is sometimes women who know f.all about men's footy but they tick the pro black box most companies pander to nowadays.motd 💩
Always someone who comes out with the same stupid cliches on these threads...when football was football etc. Half the grounds in the top division were half full in the 70s and 80s. Nostalgic rubbish
You trolling?
Why are you watching this then?? If you don’t like it there’s plenty of modern rubbish on CZcams.
@@mrkipling2201 Well said Sir
LIVERNIL753 thank you.
@John Saunders the thuggery 🤣🤣🤣🤣
was Elton gay...or was that just a rumour ?
Cant say dahling...
No that was Elton John
