Burnley take on Port Vale at Turf Moor in the old Third Division in 1983, the footage includes an interview before and after the game with the then manager John Bond.
Remember him patronising Malcolm Allison during the behind the scenes programme on Man City. The cheeky $%#$ - one genius as a trainer, one c untr y bumpkin.
He should have stayed in Norwich, or at Norwich even. it started going tits up when he took over at Man City thinking theyd win the FA Cup in '81. He had a decent run at the Canaries but after that , forget it.
Destroyed BFC so much it took years and years to recover and he knew it when we went to shrewsbury in a cup game (which we won 2-1) he was their manager but dressed up as a steward at the back of their stand tells you everything
R.I.P John Bond, one of footballs characters
Are you serious?
R.I.P John, if only Kevin Reeves had not got injured in Jan 1984, Burnley probably would have gone up in 83-84
John bond was my great great uncle.
Every time I watch a John Bond interview he’s having a pop at Malcolm Allison

If Reeves hadn't been injured Burnley would have gone up. Unfairly pilloried later by Burnley fans.
He almost completely destroyed the fabric of the club, quite rightly pilloried and it took a generation to recover
@@sirloin9668 What fabric?
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o funny man you aren't ya
John Bond What A Fucking Nightmare
What was it about him that made Burnley fans hate him?

Alan Corbett City fans at the time loved him, as he took 'em from bottom of the 1st Division without a win to mid-table and Wembley.
