- Thanks to SteveW for this and the description below:
Saint & Greavsie was a popular ITV programme presented by ex-footballers Ian St. John and Jimmy Greaves which ran from 1985 to 1992. Previously the duo had presented "On the Ball" in the World of Sport show.
Although Greaves and St. John had been contemporaries in the 1960s football world, they had never played for the same club and were English and Scottish respectively. However, a bond was quickly struck up and a long-running partnership soon began. Greaves had only recently won his battle against alcoholism when he began co-presenting but he was forever cracking his unique brand of gags that would have the audience either laughing or crying. Jokes about Scottish goalkeepers were a particular favourite, in a bid to wind up straight man St John.
This programme, which was broadcast on 16th December 1989, is packed with football news and views including the following :
Preview of Everton v Manchester City to be played the following day (17th December 1989) including an interview with City's new manager Howard Kendall.
Preview of Charlton v Crystal Palace (16th December 1989) during the time these two clubs shared the same ground at Selhurst Park and the complications (and amusing travel arrangements) arising from Crystal Palace playing 'Away' on their own ground. Also includes an interview with Ron Noades the Chairman of Crystal Palace FC.
Highlights and goals from matches played during the previous week :
Coventry v Arsenal
Liverpool v Aston Villa
QPR v Chelsea
Charlton v Millwall
Manchester United v Crystal Palace
Bradford City v West Ham United
Crewe Alexandra v Bristol Rovers
Aberdeen v Dundee United
There is also a feature on snooker player Stephen Hendry who is interviewed by John McCririck. - Sport
This was my Saturday afternoon ritual. Great times.
Football Focus, then this, then the match! ❤
The best football show ever Rip Saint Rip Jimmy the orignials and incredibly funny and then others followed total legends
God I loved those days!!!
saturday afternoons in my teens this was the greatest football show ever they both had such a good relationship looked forward to this every week
It may not have bothered Greavsie that the Clydebank game was called off, but it meant we had to stay in the Radnor all afternoon 🍺🍺
Same with me was on the way to Wrexham just ended up back in burnley and an afternoon in the welly which is sadly no more ,great days then watching burnley in the 4th division.
cannot believe this is 30 years ago....m
Everybody thought that Howard Kendall would return home to take the England job not to take over MCFC
*A lot* of Charlton's predicament at the time is *dominant* today in non-league football. Brighton also had to groundshare with Gillingham for two seasons, but we never had a dream return to our old ground (the Goldstone Ground) compared to the Addicks. Same went and will go with many other clubs.
MikeySaint859 - he won 2 league titles, 1 FA Cup, 1 European trophy, reached 3 other Cup Finals and had several high league finishes.
His 'downfall' can also be attributed to the European ban on English clubs stifling his ability to grow & learn as a manager. He also made the brave decision to go abroad and manage in Spain.
Weren't it strange that Charlton moved out of selhurst park and Wimbledon moved in!!
Did young John Paul GET his transplant ?
I’m watching this (again) hoping that everything turned out well for the young man
@@D_B_Cooper Same.
theant and dec of the 80's
Both still alive which is nice.
Saint and greavsie had talent, ant & dec are just a pair of walkers.
@@MrRorySteelSadly no more.

Give gazza a go i have a good feeling about that kid....
Not trying to be funny but why the hell should Charlton pay for Palace's scoreboard knowing that they would be leaving soon!!
Imagine if Plymouth fans were travelling up to Newcastle for it to only be postponed?
Everton need people like me
I think Howard Kendal should have got the England managers job after bobby robson. He probably would have been a better choice than Graham Taylor.
England should have went foreign after Bobby Robson and got trappatoni
Think everton need a kendall type guy now
Howard only came back for the curb crawling
The only time Manchester City was live on ITV in the 1988/92 period
Their game at Everton in the 90/91 season was shown live on the match on ITV as well. Plus their game at Villa in 89/90.
@@mrkipling2201 Another one was the Maine Road meeting with Villa which was played the week before the first live networked The Match (Liverpool v Spurs) of the season was live only in the Granada and Central regions both taking the Granada coverage
Darren Hayward 89/90??
@@mrkipling2201 yes
No it wasnt what shit r u smoking. City were on loads live between 88-93 u muppet.
"I've gone back into the transfer market with players I know..." That was Kendall's problem when he came back from Spain. He had about half a decade as a successful manager, and was the architect of his own downfall because of complacency.
Everton need too spend big on a new goalkeeper . The England no 1 😣😣😣😣. Give me a break .
