- The Match of the Day episode broadcast on this day in 1983, featuring highlights of games played the previous day - Southampton v Birmingham City and the dramatic 'loser goes down' match between Manchester City and Luton Town. Plus brief footage of Dundee United clinching the Scottish Premier Division title at Dundee, the Goal of the Season competition and a curious spot of poetry to conclude the show.
Quality footage and era of football and presenter. Those jumpers never go out of style
I was there when DUNDEE UNITED FC.Won the Scottish Premier league in 1983..what a day!
RIP Raddy Antic scorer of the winning goal in the City-Luton match
Brilliant. Great tackles, and everyone got up and got on with it. Loved the tables. Chelsea one spot above Grimsby Town in the old Second Division and Man City getting relegated. 😆
Classic Match of the Day..love hearing the Bell ringing at Maine Road you can still feel the tension ..thanks for posting ...keep them coming...
Preferred the football from this era....proper tackling, no agents, no diving , no obscene wages.....a game played , hard and fair with muddy pitches cold tea and warm beer....footy with faults..loved it........ not like the money obssessed juggernaut it is today...perfect manicured pitches ....and manicured players......miss those great times of the 70s and 80s
Miss those days,, when money wasn't the sole reason that a football club could win anything!!
"Can you hear us on the box". You don't hear that anymore!
Remember this like it was yesterday, happy days 👍
David Pleat skipping across that Maine road pitch in 1983 was one of the most iconic images in all of 1980`s English football.
Oh what i loved english Football in the 70/80s -with its unique atmosphere and the old Fine grounds-unfortunatey I could See only some TV -scenes on sunday in Those times on german TV.
Imagine a team with Coton, Dennis, Blake, VD Hauwe, Harford and Hopkins in these days. No bookmaker would give you odds for a red card in the match!
I was stood on the Kippax that day, a distraught 12 year old, I thought it couldn't get any worse for City.....How wrong I was!😂 I can laugh about it now, makes our success now all the more sweeter.
Asa "Hole in the" Hartford. Who else remembers his big money move to Leeds falling through in the 70's?
I was at Maine Rd that day couldn't believe it when we got relegated just needed a draw it was the beginning of a disastrous twenty od years when one season the club dropped to the 3rd level of English football still averaged 30,000 in fact at this Luton game 44,000 which is why City have allways been a great club.
OMG i was in 2nd-year
I've forgot how good a keeper Tony coton was!!!
Harford scores the only goal of the game to keep us up on the last day for the 2nd season running, both in the dying minutes, first at Cov's old Highfield Rd ground in 1982, & then at the Dell against a strong Saints side in '83. Most people will remember the game at Maine Rd more though, as a late Raddy Antic winner for Luton, who needed to win, sent Man City down instead, who only needed to draw...cue David Pleat in his suit and his memorable celebratory run on to the pitch at the end, an iconic MotD moment
Classic stuff...I remember listening to this in the bath...!
Unfortunately no financial doping in those days for City...
