1974: JACK CHARLTON: Middlesbrough Boss | Tuesday Documentary | Classic BBC Sport | BBC Archive 

It's as far away from now as 1926 was then, and people woulda said exactly the same in 1974 about 1926. In a time as seemingly distant as 2070, some will look back at 2022 as if it wasn't too long ago. Time is relentless and sometimes seems to pass through a fairground mirror before it hits our perception of it.

@@SpotlessLeopard Tis.

You mean like a foreign country? How it feels to me. UTB.

@@maxwellboyne2770 It's debatable. Between 1926 and 1974 there was another World War, the beginning of immigration, and a created 'counterculture' from the 1960s onwards, with television being the main change agent. Vastly different times with abortion becoming legal, plane journeys becoming the norm, and feminism starting to rear it's head. The internet has obviously changed things a lot this century, but what we see culturally now is a rehash of 60s/70s culture, albeit with machines making the music usually, rather than people. But a lot of the accepted ideals from the 1970s are still in play today. It's the last two years where things have really changed obviously, which could ironically see 2070 being less advanced than 1926.

​@@SpotlessLeopardhow do you mean?

@@bfc3057 Yes you right, it's a Mark 4 Zephyr executive estate . Probably very collectable now being an estate .

Imagine being Craig Johnston arriving there late 1970s from Australia

The parking, not so good 😀

Think it’s called a Farnham which was a coach builder who did estate versions on Fords big cars similar to crayford who took the roofs off

@@chiefrocka8604 Thanks for the information . Have heard of both of those companies , wonder what a convertible Executive looks like ?

It hasn’t changed much has it?

He came back to managef the Boro, but wasn't able to stop the rot that saw us drop to the old 3rd division for only the 2nd time.

Bobby Murdoch's legs had gone by the time he was at Boro but he could read the game so well and pick a pass so well that he just ran the midfield anyway. Great player and one of Boro's best teams with Big Jack in charge

@@bat33.12 you boys carry the piano and ill play it.

Souness was at Boro at the time...I don't see him there.

@@randyborstol2491 I was lucky enough to see him play for the Boro, possibly the best league team we ever put out. Robsons side with Juninho, Rav, Emerson and Co are up there just needed those 3 points to stay up and build on

Bobby was still a great player at the Boro, and a lot of Boro fans have an affinity with Celtic! Bobby ran the white rose pub in Middlesbrough and was always good craic! I said how come you only drink half's Bobby? He said looks better son when people want to get me a drink, I said fair enough Bobby but you have had 12 and I'm only on my lunch break from Longlands technical college lol, loved a gargle Mr Murdoch!

Alright Dave

Oh dear

He did.

I was wondering about that too.

Boys from the Blackstuff was filmed in Boro in 1978 ish...the pilot episode

he's too short, 5 foot 9

Pmsl i thought that too lol

They won't not good enough unfortunately for them

Hope you.re right but seems unlikely right now.

They blew it

All of them would

Do you like pogba?

@@johnbuffaloiam9741 actually I take that back and Pogba is a case-in point...he's a physical specimen who would leave these lads in the dust from a fitness standpoint...running up a hill would be nothing, probably would do it in half the time...remember this was the pre-pro era where most of these guys were still regularly smoking, drinking and had pretty mediocre diets...things that are just sacrilege in the modern era...I'm not saying these guys weren't fit but if they'd packed in those rubbish habits and they'd known how to properly get dialed in, imagine where'd they be? the salaries have gone through the roof...but so have the training standards....conditioning is at another level and they've got the best nutritionists in the world on tap....I think a number of them would be like "yeah why not? something different" get them out of the stadiums...

@@johnbuffaloiam9741 Who does ?

@@rampageclover9788 I agree. My granddaughters have posters in their bedrooms of Mbappe and pogba

No but an old school Rothmans yearbook on the desk.

@Ian Thompson It's now sky sports. Not quite the same. I used to buy it every year and the News of the World annual too.

Only Jack’s thong and peephole bra.

@Ian Thompson When was the change exactly? 😅

There’s smithing wrong with tattoos. They have been around since humans existed. It’s the lame handbags and dumb haircuts that make me sick.

European Cup? No. UEFA Cup finalists 2006 right?

Is this the Simon Whitfield from Hutton Rudby ??

ahahahaha naaa ha

Cool at the time 😅

Definitely

Abit like your name mark pipsqueek

We’ll I did live through the 70s unlike you making stupid childish remarks if I was you I’d shut up and be quiet it’s better to let people think 🤔 your a fool than open your mouth and confirm it!

not sure about that
