- The full 90 minutes of this infamous match between Scotland & England at Hampden Park in May 1972.This is not for the faint hearted with some of the tackling more akin to Murrayfield or Twickenham.!! Attendance 119325... England line up - Banks / Madeley / Storey / McFarland / Moore / Ball / Hunter / Bell / Chivers / Marsh - (Sub used - MacDonald)

For those of us of a certain age it's terribly poignant seeing the likes of Billy Bremner, Peter Lorimer, Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore, Emlyn Hughes, Norman Hunter, Colin Bell - all now gone. It doesn't half make you contemplate your own mortality.
This generation of footballers are sadly fading fast these past few years
Billy McNeill and Jimmy Johnstone gone as well..
@@trebleking1641 Yes that's right - my dad was from Glasgow and a Celtic supporter ; the mighty "wee" Jimmy Johnstone and the high quality Billy McNeil.
Despite our rivalry, it’s our shared humanity which binds us.
👍👍🇩🇪
What an honour it is to watch this full 90 minutes again, This is a classic encounter of some note ! Back in the day when it was a full contact sport, Unlike today's game, with all those ponces diving all over the place,
true ... but the quality on the ball now is on a different level
@@MarknoblesAcidhouseparty Different balls.
Foreign players bringing diving into the game is a myth - there was plenty of diving and play acting back then. Stan Bowles admitted to diving in his autobiography, but the master was Francis Lee!
@@helltopo I agree it went on then but it rocketed when the foreign players started arriving.
@@MarknoblesAcidhouseparty I would hope it would be, this was nearly 50 years ago.
Proper grounds, proper kits, proper tackling, proper refereeing, proper football.
Everything was....err...proper
Men were men back then and only Frannie Lee took the occasional dive. Everyone loved the Home Internationals
Awful game.
Not sure if proper is the word I would use, the standard of all football in general at this time was so much worse compared to how it is now, its like watching the womens game compared to men's. In my opinion a lot of these players wouldn't stand a chance in today's game (although they were all better than I will ever be at football) but still very interesting to watch and to be able to see how the game has dramatically improved over time.
and square posts!
SIR BIG THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS MATCHES BRING BACK MEMORIES FOR 70 YEARS OLD YOUNG GUY.
Banksy- you absolute legend! Just in awe of his positioning, handling, reactions and controlling his area. In my opinion he is the best of all time. 🧤
@@duckjive1 i am spurs fan and england from malaysia
And a world champion to boot.
The first thing I notice is that nobody if faking an injury after a hard tackle. I wish they still played that way today instead of all the showmanship.
A cracking game & that's just the bones! I think the ref had a good game despite the full blooded play up & get 'em. I missed this game (Army abroad) so it's half time now & I don't know the result. Shots of the crowd & it could be 1920s 1930s with lots of old guys flat caps & shipyard workers. 134,000 amazing & no trouble, can't see any England fans yet!
I guarantee 90%+ of the time they _were_ hurt but they wouldn't dare let the opponents see it. Fuck no you'd be dropped from the squad for being a girl. Fannies not welcome to wear the shirt real men only lmao 😅
@@seltaeb9691 If it was 134,000 Jocks then that was 2.5% of the population at the time which is absolutely insane. 1 in 40 were there. For comparison that's like America today sending 8.25 million fans to a match. Roughly the entire population of London! 😯
I was at the game
14 years old
Never to be forgotten 🏴👍
You are doing a great service to football lovers like me. Is it possible for you to upload all England games in 1970 World Cup and Euro 1968? Thanks for all England games you provide us, and I am from Middle east!!
I enjoyed Norman getting Billy early in the 1st half and the little smile and moment between them as Hunter gets a talking to from the Ref as a Leeds fan loved it, also how good was Paul Madeley lol MOT.
Was at this game as a ten year old. Just to clarify one thing about this game. The actual attendance was 119,00. That was always etched in my memory because it was the biggest crowd at a game I’ve ever been at. Standing on two tins of McKewans export supported by my old man in the North enclosure. Was also at Hampden the very same year to see Celtic thrash Hibs 6-1 in the Scottish Cup final. Just the 106,000 at that game!
😂 Great info, thanks for that mate.
Absolutely brilliant to read all these comments with no childish arguments or prejudice and admiration for the players and occasion being paramount. Such a different game then but still amazing too. Loving this 🇬🇧
Mens men.
To find the full 90 minutes of matches from the 1970s that were not Cup Finals is a great achievement, hats off to you.
Sad to think so many of these Wonderful players are no longer with us. 🏴❤😎
you're right, i''m 72 so obviously remember them all with great affection.
@@ianbentley7276 I have to say this game brought tears to my eyes. So many great players long since gone to the pearly gates. When you consider the nature of the game today, with no tackles from behind, the plastic balls today, the lightweight clothing and boots, the 20% synthetic pitches, etc. And look at the crowd, no seats. I'm loving it.
@@alanm1894 well i missed very few games at elland road 64-75 so agree with you 100% mate
@@ianbentley7276 I'm half your age but still remember the greats.
Such fake crap today.
@@piplee1439 true
22 players kicking lumps into each other and everyone off them playing for the shirt .
Loved how Leeds Utd team mates , where battling with each other lol .
Wee billy , what a player ,
He was a great player ; alwasy showing for the ball he had a great midfield partner in Archie Gemmill.
Seriously 😮 kicking lumps out of their teammates. Billy & Norman lol 😆
I was at this game, still got the programme. I remember there being a great crowd but didn't realise it was 134,000. Remember the good times!
There wasn't. Brian Moore was only quoting that as the capacity was 134,000 and he assumed that was the crowd. 119,000 there.
And all white too.
@@TheJuzi huh
@@trebleking1641 You believe the official numbers,do you?
A 'relatively' small crowd of 119,000 by the standards of the past there that day. My God, Scotland v England crowds at Hampden Park, Glasgow were amongst the biggest in the world at that time. Golden days, indeed...
Treble King, Hampden crowds were the biggest in Europe. Only the Maracana in Brazil got bigger.
134,000 was the gate (accord. Duckjive) Amazing, that was nearly Scotland's population! We've been at it & now 6 million & rising.
@@johnnyoranges Biggest crowds for Cup Finals and Internationals, I'd imagine, but I think Barcelona, Real Madrid and Benfica were getting bigger league and Cup tie crowds at their own grounds than anybody else in Europe at the time..
@@trebleking1641 Over 149,000 are estimated to have watched a Scotland-England international at Hampden Park in 1937. Do you know of a bigger attendance at a European ground ?
124, 000.I was there. No such thing as health and safety back in the day. Absolutely terrifying being carried by the Crowd, on the other side , you couldn't fall . The strong gust s of wind made it lm possible to play decent fitba.
So much more physical back then, much tougher players.
Slower, less skilled, and not as fit though .
@@James-hh1lq not sure I entirely agree, they had more individual skill. Today players are taught to pass the ball rather than dribble, the triangle passing. Boring to high heaven in fact sometimes I can’t even watch today it’s so mind numbingly boring. When I moved to the States I got into basketball and changed my choice of sport.
@@hertfordable they would smoke drink and eat pies . And your not sure ? I miss the old football tho good old days .
Watching it on a screen no bigger than a swan vesta match box today. Who'd have thought it
Blame Platini...he took tackling out of the game
Thanks again, duckjive1, for a wonderful piece of nostalgia! Unfortunately, for a Scot, entertaining though it is, it just shows how tactically naive Scotland were in the 70s - punting hopeful long balls into the England box more often than not instead of keeping possession in the way England do. And we didn't have a tall target man here!
Brilliant to watch, if this was played today it would be 7 aside after 25 minutes, cheers for the upload
I dreamt many years to watch this game.
I noticed a player was injured off the pitch and the commentator said "the game must go on". That's so unlike these days when the game stops if a player has a broken fingernail.
dont go that far they only stop it when a hair grip fall out...
Denis Law talking about Bremners level of commitment. They’re on international duty and on a day off, they would visit the local primary schools and do a bit of coaching, sign autographs etc and play a fifteen minute each way game. So Bremner is on one side and Law on the other and they always made sure it was a draw, so none of the kids would be disappointed. Near the end, somebody punted the ball upfield and this little boy about eight years old runs after it and is heading for goal, Bremner runs after him and chops the legs from under him. The little kid does two somersaults, lands on his back and is winded. While the teachers are trying to revive him, Law grabs Bremner and asks him why the hell he done that. Bremner, completely serious said ‘He was right through on the keeper.’
lol, excellent.
😂 That's Bremner for you!
fantastic!
Great story thanks for the laugh.
No goalie gloves! Intense football! 2 minutes left and a goal kick - Banks took it right away without wasting time.
@@duckjive1 Not just the keepers. The overall pace of the game is incredible compared to today, and nobody believed in time-wasting.
I've watched 14 minutes of the game and it sickens me to look at the way the game is played now! The players now day's wouldn't last a minute on the pitch
Wow! Prefer to see a game like this than the crap served up in the Premier league.
Highly competitive, no diving, just two great sets of players getting stuck in. That to me is real football!
What a great set of footballers
Moore, Bremner
Banks, Lorimer, Ball, Hughes, Madeley, Hunter, Law
Indeed; imagine a wnaker like Beckham in this game ?
He wouldn't have made it as five minute substitute.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Premiership is a disgrace, reflecting the sad decay in Britain.
The hint of a dive and turds like Beckham et al, should have been sacked, let alone sent off.
This Scots team would trounce the ' English' ( and I use the moniker very loosely) team of 2022.
Imagine the broken legs ?
Like trees and plants, stunted due to shelter from the wind, the game would come like a tempest agin those soft, slight and weakened limbs.
@@piplee1439 Interesting prose but Norman Hunter was a dirty so and so was he not? At least two tackles he should have booked for.
@@simonwoods8809 man up
@@simonwoods8809 ee bites yer legs
Real football is about skill, anticipation and intelligence not 'getting stuck in' which is a euphemism for kicking people. Football should never be a battle, only a battle of wits.
This fixture is so intense for the fans on both sides but nearly all those player on the field we're mates. That was good to see.
Pitch looks immaculate for those days. Remember all these great players.
I'm a leeds fan but Scotland fan allso my god that Hunter was a bite ur legs sort of player😂😂
Wow what an upload this is great stuff m8
Many thanks. Missed this in 1972 as I was in The Army - Now, stationed in... 😎Nassau, Bahamas. Really tough out there, we lived in flats with our own swimming pool. Tough indeed. Cheers DuckJive 🦶⚽🦵.
Great vid, thanks for posting, as a 14 year old then the Home Internationals were the best part of the season. Such great names sadly departed as other posters have mentioned. Thanks again.
These are my foot ball heroes
Britain at it's Best
Remember when all countries wore their own coloured kit - and only changed when they played away because it clashed with the home team? What do we have now? Last week England played in all blue. At home. Does it matter? Well, it matters enough for someone to change a hundred year old tradition...because they can.
Well that was done for charity, but I get your point. It's a pet peeve with me too. Hardly any team wore their proper kit at the Euros.
They can wear pink for all l care mate they would still be boring they can beat all the andorras they want,there is not ONE interesting England player right now as opposed to back then.
we played in our away red kit in the 1966 World Cup final
@@corkytheocropolis1657 because in the WC the host nation’s games are not considered “home” games. Colours are decided by a coin toss
@@tonynesbit9673 Foden is the next Bobby Charlton
Great upload. It was a man's game in them days. Lol
This is so much better than the Premier League in 2021.
Fightball.
To be fair it was uefa and fifa that cleaned up the game
What a game! Absolutely loved watching this game.Watched it back then as a 11 year old.
Wow! Brilliant! That first 25 minutes..brutal but so skilfull and compelling. 134,000 people at Hampden! What players both sides had and the midfield battles with Hartford, Gemmell and Bremner on Bell, Hunter and Storey and especially on Bally. Thank you for putting this up especially without the score which made it even more exciting👍
Enthralling
134,000 are you kidding me. ?
@@gingerbaker4390 The stadia weren't all seaters in those days so the capacity was much larger and this was always a very popular fixture.
@@gingerbaker4390 according to Brian Moore during the commentary certainly looks it...
@@jerseypeter6644 It's just amazing.
I shall never forget the joy of the magnificence of football during this era in time. I remember being on the edge of my seat and my mum and dad urging England to smash that ball right into the back of the old net.
Great days loved it when i was a kid the crowds all standing packed to the rafters you could hardly breathe let alone see 134000 unreal.
This is the real football we all loved, played by real men !! This was the best era of football!! Just hearing names like, Banks, Moore, Ball, Chivers, Hughes, Meadley, Brenner, Lorimer, Gemmell, Law, McCarry, Hartford gave me goose bumps back then as a 12 year old!!
Bremner. Macari.
@johnferguson40 Thanks .. just a typing error in my excitement !! Billy Bremner was my favorite player those days, but the Scottish FA shot themselves in the foot by banning him in 1975 for some bar fight !! It's just an excuse to end his international career. It's just insane!!
Came here for the “in my day…” posts, and I wasn’t disappointed 😂
Gosh there was some quality players on that pitch. Bobby Moore,, Dennis Law, Colin Bell, Billy Bremner, etc...
As you say, so many great players on that pitch, on both sides. Bobby Moore's reading of the game shone throughout. Roy Mcfarland was outstanding alongside him too. Asa Hartford showed great technique as well. Had to laugh at Alan Ball and Denis Law walking off like best pals at the end. Warriors throughout the match !!
Alan Ball never gets the credit he deserves …..a true great and a player that Grahame Souness admitted he never got anywhere near when he played against him and make no mistake Souness was a great player too ….
What an amazing match! I watched it as though it was live. Phenomenal players, especially the defenders ... Moncur - both goal keepers, and perhaps the greatest footballer England had ever produced .. the England Captain, Bobby Moore ( sadly taken from us so soon). Excellent full match upload - but we'd be happy to watch it in the original 4:3 - please don't stretch it. As others have said - 'proper football' - not the overpaid, egotistical, vainglorious, tattooed, wankers we have 'today'.
Awful game - fightball.
Proper football when men were men .Some good performances but how impressive was Mcfarland. I saw him play every week for Derby but he just stood out in this game. Thanks for finding this.
So did I! Absolute legend who still graces Pride Park regularly?
There was something very special about that era, funny how they used to warm up!
watched premiere for so long i forget how the game used to be played no prisoners no prisoners great game
Banks /Madeley/ Moore / Ball / Hunter / Bell / Hughes...Bremner/McNeill/Lorimer...no longer with us, unfortunately.
Great to see Colin Bell in his rightful 8 shirt. He was my first football hero. A great talent cut short.
There’s a fan on the field. He s thrown a bunch of flowers at Norman Hunter lol
This game took place a few days after Rangers won the Cup Winners Cup in Barcelona. I remember seeing some Rangers fans still wearing sombreros, having just got back from Spain
L
Superb clean tackle by Moore on Bremner. A foul apparently 🤣
This was England on the verge of being pretty lousy for almost ten years, during which they failed to qualify for two consecutive World Cups ('74 and '78). The Scotland team are full of big, very famous names but I don't remember the no. 2 , John Brownlie, at all. Had to look him up. Played for Hibs and then Newcastle apparently, and only made 7 international appearances.
Brilliant right back. Broke his leg in a league match against East Fife in 73 I think. That hampered his career.. An attacking full back. Powerful and quick. A great player in a great Hibernian side.
@@scottfraser2623 Was Just going to say thought he had a very good game. Cool under pressure
John Brownlie was a hero of mine who was way ahead of his time as an attacking wing back. He would have been a household name but for a serious broken leg.
England may of been lousy for ten years and failed to qualify for 74 and 78 world cups but still had big names in their team with some very good if not great players throughout 70s.
The good days are back used to watch them in 70 they were the days and Wales
"He went for the ball as much as the man.". Whatever happened to that sentence! Brilliant to see this. Thanks for the upload!
Saw this match as a 12-year old kid in 1972. Malaya then did not have coloured TV and we watched the International Weekend on Sundays.
Oh my God, Dennis Law! Kids these days have no idea what a footballer he was. he had everything, including always playing with a smile on his face (except after one goal back in 1974) Bobby Moore - a man's man, would only take the knee before his queen, Alan Ball - why did Everton ever let him go? Billy Bremner... Lou Macari. There was Colin Bell, the mighty Colin Bell! Todays footballers pale to these giants.
Colin Bell , Alan Ball , Bobby Moore all wonderful footballers.
@@alistairnewton8898 Denis Law, Billy Bremner, Lou Macari etc.
Of course, in the 70s the fans who remembered the 40s and 50s were saying exactly the same thing and thought the likes of Moore and Bell were just effeminate fanny merchants with their long hair and "male jewellery". Plus, remember that it was these same players who then failed to get England to two successive World Cups in the 70s.
Why the racism?
@@ethanblackhurst8593 Racism ? Where ?
Good day. Watched your next nice video and enjoyed. So next like and thanks from country Azerbaijan
For those of you watching on black-and-white sets, England are in the light shirts and Scotland are wearing the dark shirts.
The immortal bobby moore !
One National Anthem played.......THE National Anthem of both England and Scotland. No "Flower of Scotland", no whistles or boos or disrespect, just men playing proper football simply for the pride of representing their country.The Home Internationals and the FA Cup Final were the only games shown live on TV, so you made certain to watch them every season.
Scotland had some good teams in the 70s and 80s. You do have to wonder whether the founding of the Premier League harmed the Scottish national team? Scots were preeminent in big English clubs back then.
The Prem League started, and still do, important many mediocre overseas players where in the 'old days' they were picking up young Scots, Irish, English and Welsh lads. Must make a difference
Not the same pace of today’s player’s but way harder.
Alan Ball, my hero , what a footballer, small in stature but Colossus in heart and ability.
Loved the way he gave em some verbal after he scored when they were kicking off after the goal
Emlyn Hughes...one of my all time favourite players...such infectious enthusiasm and could play in so many positions
His nickname was 'Crazy horse', such a great player... just a pity he played for Liverpool when he could have been down the road at Old Trafford if he'd played his cards right. 😁
@1:38:25 Great to see Denis Law walk off the pitch with his arm around Alan Ball. It's only a game of sport - after the match friendships resume.
Sad to think how many of these terrific footballers have left us now.
This is the football I fell in love with, sadly long gone and what we have now pales in comparison.
A great match, real venom! 130,000 Scots screaming for English blood. Donachie and Gemmill were superb and Hunter too although his tackles were absolutely brutal.
There were only 115 ,000 and no English? stop talking crap and engage your brain if you can fing it.
I was at the match in the Rangers end. Those fans were just back from the battle in Barcelona. As England fans we cheered the goal and it was like shouting in church.
Was born that August, but most of these were still playing or managing when I became aware, and then mad about football - only ones missing seem to be Roy Race and Blackie Gray
Many great players, some real Legends.....Thanks for this fantastic video: love watch games England vs Scotland , the true football for me.
the greats games,... miss atmosphere 72... from Indonesia thanks this video.
@@duckjive1 okay thanks brother
18:47 wow cleanest tackle ever
120,000 at Hampden.
This game is the greatest example of how football should be played. After 2000, the game got very crappy (mostly because of player’s managers, bosman case, and the lots of money that were involved).
wow what a goodgame special selection i love angland and scotland thank you
Hampden looks a bit different these days! Another brilliant post-love it!
you know whos missing in this game Neymar i have a feeling he would be crying...
Proper football played by proper footballers , in a proper way , what the hell has happened to the game ?
I bet those players would have played for nothing
Money and everything done for them. imagine Neymar or CR7 playing in those day. They won't want to play.
"for those of you watching in black and white the referee is wearing a bright scarlet jersey" (or something like that 😁) Brian Moore
A classic!
Interesting fact..the goalposts at Hampden were square faced.
Note Alan Ball & Denis Law went off the field after the game after a hug and arm around each others shoulders. Best of pals really, as many of them of course were playing in the same league and often teams the rest of the year.
circa 1972 when music was about David Cassidy,Middle of the Road,Young Michael Jackson and his brothers,Dawn,Wings.And when it was football-wise,the old First and 2nd Divisions.
Music was better than that list.
Back in the day when the Scots and the English loved each other....happy times.
If that was a match today,they'd both have only 4 players each left on the field.
Tackling was brutal, almost GBH. No wounder once you got the ball you got rid of it to avoid a broken limb. And once the players career was over, for most, no money and lucky to be a
pub landlord. All so different now.
These guys were not constantly diving, complaining or needing a rest after running for 20 seconds, used a much heavier ball and they earned £70/week. What a bunch of dopes! :)
Can you imagine neymar playing in this game!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭⚰️⚰️
My dad lifted me over for the 1970 game, I really don't remember much I was 7.
How brilliant was Norman Hunter in this match ? I was only aware of his reputation as a 'clogging' centre half till I saw this. Yet here he displayed huge talent. Excellent passing, great anticipation and awareness off the ball, unbelievable work rate, good technique. What an eye-opener. Glad I saw this. Excellent example of how football was played 'when I was a lad'....lol
Pity he couldn't replicate it 18 months later in THAT game against Poland
that is great - great atmosphere and shuddering tackles
When the players stayed down, you know they were hurt. Today...
I echo the last comment…..proper football, really having a go at each other the way it should be played. How I miss the game it once was!
Great classic match 1972 the year i was born...
Amazing high quaity footage -
@@duckjive1 The memories are flooding back from my youth and particularly my bubble gum football cards. This was coarse football at its best - everything done with the minimum of fuss and ceremony, GSTQ anthem played for both teams, confusion about which team was to kick off, all sorts of off the ball feuding, and Alan Ball giving Bremner some abuse after the goal. 135k attendance!!
Brilliant.....a proper game of football....thanks
Can’t believe bell hunter Hughes ball Moore Madely all gone ! 🏴😳💖
Thank you From Sudamérica Perú. 5. 12. 2021
