I wish Arteta can show our current squad about our good old Arsenal's mentality like this 83-84 team, to play more aggressively and more pressing. A football match can only be won with such a winning mentality and determination. R.I.P. to some of the players who unfortunately no longer with us today in this vintage video. A great memory lasts in so many fans' hearts no matter which team you support.
Wow 1 sub! I bet that team stayed the same through the whole season... no rotation no big wages no instagram just the love of game.... who can say that now about football 😒
They didn’t have a choice back then did they... they were on a few hundred quid a week, my point I’m trying to make is that the games changed and in places not for the best! You’re telling me 250k a week plus is the correct wage for kicking a ball around grass, and in answer to your question, yeah I would, in fact I’d play for nothing if I was playing for a club I loved, you completely missed the point I was trying to make.....
I remember watching this match, it’s one of my first memories of football as a kid, particularly the Forest fans chanting what a waste of money only for Paul Marnier to score in the last minute.
I forgot Paul mariner went to Arsenal 👍and fairclough went on to win the title with the famous Leeds United F.C, along with Steve hodge, even saw Ian harte in there too haha..!!
Fairclough was a great player in the making and may well have played alongside Walker both for Forest and in the England team if he hadn't suffered a really bad injury. I hadn't realised or else forgotten he won the title with Leeds. I'm glad he went on to have success in his career.
@@annandune He was always a brilliant defender for us and very cool under pressure.He was a modern day defender before his time, it’s funny cos I didn’t know we got him from forest until I saw this clip...Great times although many had left the terraces due to the violence, I remember watching Leeds play Brighton around that time and there was 14000 there..But still great times for me..!!👍
His commentary was pretty poor though. Bowyer didn't foul the Arsenal player - most likely he was penalised for having his foot too high in a challenge. And he said Forest were paying the price for not creating enough chances but Forest had plenty, we just didn't put them away.
@@spotlessmind8250 You think I'm judging him on one game? This was my era. I heard him commenting week in, week out and this is a typical example. Brian Moore was no better on ITV.
Motson a total legend but there was also Brian Moore, Gerald Sinstadt the voice of Liverpool's great 70's Euro triumphs and Hugh John's for vague Division Two East Anglian outfits. Tony Gubbba ..
Typical Arsenal. How many times did they do that in the 80's ? Half decent season for Forest. Would have played Spurs in UEFA Cup Final had not Anderlecht paid the ref
I think he just misjudged the timing there, perhaps even got a bad bounce. Van Breuklen was generally considered to be a pretty solid keeper and he made some good saves in that game. I would agree, I would still prefer Shilton but I think Cloughie would have been more annoyed with the rest of the team for not putting away the chances we had.
@@annandune agreed he was a good keeper (ask naill quinn) but why didn't clough keep the championship winning side together longer and chris fairclough left amongst others
@@danielmurray569 I think the Shilton thing was some kind of row. I think that may have even been part of the reason why Clough and Taylor split as a team. A lot of people forget just how pivotal Taylor was to their success. Woodcock left after we won the championship . He might have stayed for one of the European Cups. Withe left at the end of the Championship winning season. . Woodcock was never as good as when he played at Forest but I think he got more England caps after he left. This might be another reason why the championship side didn't stay together. England selection is notoriously biased towards the big teams and despite their success Forest were never considered part of that club. In terms of consistent selection, Pearce and Walker did a lot better even though they weren't part of a championship winning team. If we had kept Anderson longer, had Fairclough and Walker together in the centre and Pearce on the left the defence would have been the best in the league.
With respect to the midfield, I think Robbo liked a drink too much and this seemed to lead to him being less of a force to be reckoned with. McGovern was always solid but might have been reaching the end of his career, at least in top flight football. Methgod who replaced him was a good replacement. Not sure why O'Neill left although it might have been another case of personal differences.
No VAR..no stewards..the good old days

Don’t support either team in this clip. No memories from this for me, other than Charlie Nicholas being shite in England.
can you imagine a player from now, in the future, coming on to paint the white lines? theyre more likely to paint their nails
Lol
Or snort the white lines
Don't Think It Will Ever... Or Perhaps, Just In The Wildest Dream...🙄
@Hiedi Azzarito ...yep nobody cares you creep...

And you would do your job “for not big money” into your early to mid thirties and then have to find another career.

....this is the only football I watch now...British players too...
RIP Tommy Caton.

Substitute. Just the one. Often only used in the event of an injury.

Great Forest Kit this
Football Heaven,
Thanks for this combative 80s tussle at the City Ground. Solid dependable commentary from John Motson.
Triangles. Flankers wide. Lump it. Repeat.
I wonder did Keano think that in 6 years time he was going to be playing with forest 😊
Probably not he'd have been about 12 🙄
@@forestranger5408 true, I played against him in cork in 1988 , only time I won the ball in midfield was in the air against him 😁
I know one thing your toe nail or arm pit wouldn't be offside then
1:01 That challenge would have left the modern panty-clad footballer in a coma. There would be a 10-minute stoppage in play.

Football commentary really wishes John Motson, legendary voice of football during my childhood

@@annandune Yep, judge him on one game
@@spotlessmind8250 You think I'm judging him on one game? This was my era. I heard him commenting week in, week out and this is a typical example.
Brian Moore was no better on ITV.
And my comment was about his commentary on that game, so I wasn't actually judging him anyway, just his performance in this instance.
Motson a total legend but there was also Brian Moore, Gerald Sinstadt the voice of Liverpool's great 70's Euro triumphs and Hugh John's for vague Division Two East Anglian outfits. Tony Gubbba ..
Good old Arsenal.
Messi's dad in the thumbnail
Same old arsenal! For years yellow away kit. And matching long sleeves!
The sleeves are decided by the captain. If he wears long sleeves then every other player does too. Same if he chooses short
@@jamesdavies25 it used to be that way, sadly one of the traditions that has been allowed to go.
@@stuartlincoln1303 ...didnt know that...
Better kits back then because they were made of cotton, not like the crappie polyester material they use today, not even worth $10.
How many refs from the Wirral?
Typical Arsenal. How many times did they do that in the 80's ?
Half decent season for Forest. Would have played Spurs in UEFA Cup Final had not Anderlecht paid the ref
