BBC1 Continuity | Weather News | Grandstand | Football Focus | 22nd September 1984 

Can't believe this is now 40 years old, surely not, only seems like yesterday

Discussing Liverpool and Man Utd for the title, and little did they know, one of the greatest English teams in history came through to take it. #everton

Listening to the European piece on Liverpool and Juventus, little did they know what was to come at the end of that season.

All these experts waffling on tirelessly about Man U and Liverpool, eventually Everton won the title in a canter

Studio 5 at BBC Television Centre was the home to Grandstand on Saturday Afternoons

Takes me back to when our public service broadcaster had a decent range of sports on offer. Then came Sky bleating on to anyone who would listen that they had nothing and couldn't compete with the BBC's unfair advantage. Roll on 40 years, the BBC's sports portfolio is a joke, Sky now monopolises ALL the sports you USED to get on Grandstand of a Saturday afternoon, the only difference now being that we have to pay for the privilege of watching it. What a bunch of mugs we are.

The BBC 1 continuity announcer was Mike Gamble.

Wasn’t life so much simpler, and certainly so much better back then…..🙏🏻

Really enjoyed watching that Football Focus from 1984 - what a contrast compared with today when the producers insist on having an inane racket that masquerades as music going on in the background!!

Talking about Juventus and Liverpool as favourites for the European Cup that season is quite eerie and ominous. When you consider the events of 29th May 1985. It’s crazy how often things like that happen.

Football Focus was such a good programme back in the mid 1980s - none of that inane racket that masquerades as music!!

I liked Ian McCaskill 😊

QPR is a little colour clash
