The Match of the Day episode broadcast on this day in 1982, featuring highlights of Oldham v Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich v Arsenal and the goals from St Mirren v Celtic.
Can't see any grass! At least it wasn't boggy & the ball played fine enough. Oldham manager Jimmy Frizzell & Notts County's Jimmy Sirrel, I always got them mixed up. They both stayed with their clubs as player & manager for many years & the Boardroom good or bad seasons didn't sack them either, a rare thing.
Pitches now are sterile. Look at any player in the winter during the 'footy' years. Mud. Yes mud splattered everywhere. Now the poor dears with their skintight kit are just playing in a video game. Thats what it looks like. Pitches gave the game character. Some pitches like Baseball Ground in deep winter you could count the blades of grass on it! , but you got cracking games with great skill. Snow, deep frost, played on that too. I dont watch it now. 20th Century was the best. Thank god for CZcams & yesteryear footy!
51:45 What a topsy-turvy league table! While Southampton were top having played 31 games, Spurs had only played 24. I must admit I don't remember Arsenal challenging for the title that season.
Swansea were! Or is it upside down. The pitch, grass & mud or mud with grass. Pitches gave another side these days & you'd get great skill & games. Now utterly perfect right from thru the season & its boring. Dont watch it now appart here, thanks all for vids.
47:39 the arsenal fans cheering because news coming through of a Liverpool goal at Wembley in the League Cup Final against Spurs. Arsenal did Liverpool a favour that day by beating title rivals Ipswich, while Liverpool returned it by beating North London rivals, Spurs.
The BBC would be better putting one of these programmes on during the corona break, instead of Mrs Brown's Boys.
i dont think they would want to show everyone how great the game used to be compared to now
@@valiantv2897 agreed.
@@valiantv2897 so true.
I think John Motson's commentary was class. Humble and respectful is what I think.
Well played John Pearson; an excellent career that adequately reflects a good pro
loved it. Did you see how damp the pitch was, the ball didn't seem to bounce much. I loved that era of football
Didn't see much grass either.
0:21 good to see John Cleese getting a game
Love the end with Jack Charlton telling those kids off! He sounds like me now!
Is that the first episode of arsenal tv at 30:56? Can't believe there's no fam
how bizarre this popped up on my youtube screen. Seeing Frank McDougal scoring on the day he passed away - sad times
That’s it big jack, you tell them!!

Proper football, proper kits and as for Ken Brown calling his Norwich City players "fairies" nowadays he'd be sacked.
Great Treat to watch during testing times!
"Steve Edwards, John Ryan"... before the arrival of Carlos Kickaball.... :)
3rd year Graham School. Mr Howell form tutor. Still scared of bullies Young and Hick. Wish I could go back....

@@wildbill8635 Yes - matches now do look like a computer game!
The players are more like athletes.
Coventry's old Highfield Road ground always had a slope ..... Now they even haven't got a ground! Pitch sharing with bcfc
how happy would you be to get an arsenal necklace made of moody gold for xmas
Alan Brazil, back when his body was a temple 😆
Palmer should have been sent off for that clear deliberate elbow at 8:27.
Southampton top of the table.....
they were a great side ivan golac baker channon etc
