Great players from a golden age of English football.Even the pundits were great then there was Jimmy Hill and Brian Moore.We were spoilt rotten and we didn't know it.Happy days indeed🤗🐻👍
Golden Age? England had failed in Mexico, they failed to get to the final stages of Euro 72, and within six months they had ben put out of the World Cup by Poland.
Weird to think seventeen years later that Shilts was still playing for England. Interesting to see young Dalglish too before he became a superstar at Liverpool. Sad that several of these players and panel are no longer with us.
Amazing to see in this match that 66 World Cup winner Alan Ball was still the playmaker for England and yet Bobby Moore looked badly out of sorts with that bad tackle on Lorrimar
If anything comes good after Coronavirus is that the big top two divisions has a complete collapse due to the massive monies they pay & play with debt & then the bloody foreign players & managers bugger off & we reset & recreate the divisions 1,2,3,4 & get back to proper footy, oh & bring back the ball we played with for 55 years rather than the ping pong ball they use now.
17 years later Shilton versus jack Charlton at italia 90 seems weird looking back on it but maybe not weird if you were following all this normally from the early 70s to early 90s
Michael Bell sure am reminds me of sports night. Football was so simple back then . Olson reminds me of my youth football gum cards what ever happened to them ? Oh yeah binned them 😳😂😂😂😂😂
That turned out to be the best Poland team there's ever been.They played some lovely football in the '74 World Cup and knocked out the mighty Italy in the group stage; to my mind only the mighty Dutch were better to watch. They just ran out of steam a bit towards the end and lost that semi-final to the West Germans on a waterlogged pitch.
Ally Hunter did so well with this game but his career collapsed as the years went on . He blamed himself too much for any goal and just could not bounce back . I played in the same school team as he .
Derek "I happen to believe" Dougan. He used to present Yorkshire Television's Sunday afternoon football highlights programme and was always saying "I happen to believe".( Martin Tyler, no less, was one of the commentators.)
Scotland came to Wembley hoping to repeat their famous 1967 win at the same turf six years ago when they clashed with England in this 1973 Home Championship match. At the same time Scotland also wanted to avenge the previous year 1-0 defeat to England at Hampden Park. And what made the Scots the more eager to seek retribution at Wembley was the 5-0 thrashing England handed out to them at Hampden Park in the centenary match to celebrate the 100 years birth of the English FA. But although Scotland did have the upperhand England still came out 1-0 winners with Martin Peters ghosted in the winner.
What were the offside rules back then.. Does the goalie not touching the ball negate the offside before Clarke scored that offside goal and Shannon was onside by a mile.. Offside always confused me as a kid :)
David Harvey took over, Aly Hunter let a bad one in against Czechoslovakia during the Scot’s 2-1 W.C. Qualifier at Hamden which took Scotland to Germany 74 , Harvey was the keeper there.
it was the "Hippies Era of English Football".Long Hair among British footballers was already in place in the late 1960s.It became more pronounced in 1971.
With all due respect to the late great Bobby Moore; he should not have been picked up for England following their 3-1 loss to W. Germany in Wembley in 1972: He lost the ball inside the penalty box and gifted it to Germans for the 1-st goal, and he brought down (I think Ziggy Held) inside the box that led to Netzer's penalty kick and Germans 2-nd goal. And yet Alf Ramsey kept picking him for England. He then tried to dribble Lubanofski (the Polish captain in 1974 W. Cup qualifying match) while he was the last defender!!, that led to Poland's 2-nd goal ( Poland's 1-st goal was the result of poor defending by him as well). Defending 101: You should never try dribbling an opponent when you are the last defender, and he had time to tackle Ziggy Held outside the penalty box, and yet he did it inside the box! So in 2 crucial games he was responsible for 4 out of 5 opponents goals, and yet Ramsey told him: "I want you to be my captain in 1974 W. Cup"! Simply mind boggling!! This always happens when you pick great players not based on their current form, but past accomplishments. In 2014 W. Cup Spain manager picked up Casias to be the keeper against Holland, even though Casias was the reserve keeper in his own club Real Madrid! (he was only playing as 1-st choice in Champions League). No wonder Spain lost the game 5-1.
He was way past it here. He was dropped for the England v Poland match at Wembley in October 1973 that England needed to win to qualify for the 74 world cup... they drew 1-1
@@13muller9 NEGATIVITY! He "almost died" of testicular cancer whilst still lifting FA Cup. Cup Winners Cup. WORLD CUP! Three consecutive years. He was outstanding in the 1970 match against Brazil. At the end of that match Pele ran to him to swap shirts. That's good enough?
Bobby should never have been dropped by England. He was only 32 and still had plenty to give. Such a shame he didn't get to finish in style at the '74 World Cup. The way he was treated afterwards by the FA was downright disgraceful but that's another story.
Pity there is no longer the Home Championship. It was always a good opportunity for England to beat some teams and actually win some games. Now they have to compete against nasty foreign countries like Iceland, Croatia, er all. Bastards don't even speak English. Lol. Jimmy Hill seems to be enjoying himself and giving his expert opinion. Holy Jasus...
