This is an outstanding channel!
Fantastic stuff. Real footy in shite conditions. Love it.
Love the fact that handsome Chris Kelly talks about getting the drink out of their system. Oh how times have changed........for the worse.
Aahh the 70s. When those sky blue disabled three wheelers were allowed pitchside!
aka Spazz Chariots lol
I love the way Chris Kelly describes seeing his goal against Brighton. In those days, unlike today, only isolated matches had recorded footage, and with those that did, there were no video recorders so you'd have to either watch them on the telly or tune into ITV's "On The Ball" or Sam Leitch's BBC "Football Preview" which were both on at the same time, so you'd have to keep switching from one channel to the other in order to catch the best bits. And the same applied to the players, they rarely saw their goals and, when they were recorded, they probably only got the one chance to see them. Chris Kelly was a breath of fresh air to the game in his 15 minutes of fame, but was a really gifted player nonetheless, unlike many of the modern day players. Also interesting to see little York City in the 2nd division (as would nowadays be called the Championship) where they comfortably stayed up in the end.
Great fun to watch. The only thing that could make it better is if the adverts were left in!
Beautiful
Fantastic performance by both teams in those conditions!
Great days,I don`t bother watching football anymore,the game is ruined now,but I could watch this all day long.
Thanks for uploading. Good game @ West Ham in terrible conditions.
Chis Kelly went on to score putting Leatherhead 2-0 up at Leicester in that cup tie and missed a 1 on 1 to make it 3-0. But Leicester rallied to win 3-2.
Malcolm Munro cleared his goal bound shot as it was about to go in. I just watched the MOTD highlights again. If he'd gone inside onto his right foot it likely would've been 3-0 and all over. It was a great performance by Leatherhead.

Thanks so much for uploading and sharing this, great memories
I'd love too see Match of the Day interviewing a Leatherhead marksman today!
absolutely fantastic, cheers...
@43:45, by itself, is worth the hour-long programme
Mud.... Everywhere mud.😃
The referee gave some weird decisions.
never a penalty outside the box definitely and Thomas was fouled inside the box obvious
Errrrrr excuse me ref, what was wrong with that goal by Dave Clement? 😡
Never a penalty either
Agree on the Dave Clement goal but both penalties looked about right to me, hard to tell where the line is for the mud though. The real shocker is the free-kick awarded against Mervyn Day for 'too many steps' at 10:19 that leads directly to the QPR equalizer. I was playing in goal in those days and it was the 'four-step rule', no way is that more than four. Brian Moore talks at end about game being a 'tribute' to the referee but he doesn't exactly cover himself in glory in the game.
It is pretty clear that Stan Bowles was offside. I
Got to be the big match. Heavily biased in favour of London clubs. Always Chelsea, West ham, qpr, or the others. Pmsl.
It was regional. Just as the other ITV regions had their Sunday afternoon shows.
Be grateful you never had Tyne Tees with Roger Tames (although they did briefly have the godlike Kenneth Wolstenhome) or Yorkshire with Keith ("shouldn't I be covering rugby league" Macklin commenting on Ian Greaves terminally tedious Huddersfield Town side of the 70's.
It was made by London Weekend TV. That is why. ITV wasn’t national back then.
OK thanks. I was watching it in a region with no league clubs so we got the London version.
Ironically a couple of years later I ended up in shepherd's Bush and became a regular at Loftus road lol. This was when Stan the man was our hero.
By a remarkable turn of events my job transferred me to Manchester and the landlady of my local was Stan's sister.
Its a small world. Bet someone reading this knows me.
