@@csb7376 Really mate...its still my fav final ....That Houchen diving header goal.....and mabbuts own goal...... i remember thinking city will get spanked...considering CLIVE ALLEN had scored a ton of goals that season...he scored after 2 mins i think....
I never liked football but as a child when I was sick & lying on the settee as my dad checked his pools coupon the presenters voice & sound of the teleprinter was so calming.
30 years ago - no internet - HD TV - smart phones - just 4 channels to chose from - and just Blockbusters' video to keep you happy on a Saturday evening. Yep we had it tough in those days.
Eazy T Especially for all the great music and the fact that there was then plenty of oil left. Donald Trump was around though and little did we suspect what his future was.
Memories of after playing out with your mates and rushing home in time for the results. The agony while the asterisk crawled across the screen revealing the result of your team and that you had no idea of what it was. How different to today where you are bombarded with latest updates and scores from all over the place! Great days.
In Cowdenbeath many years ago, there was a television hire shop in the high street with tvs in the window with the final scores on it, every man and his dog would be congregted around the shop window looking at the scores coming in. Great memories.
I remember watching the scores coming through on the vidiprinter when Des got the text "FIRE ALERT" through. Turns out there was a fire in the studio and he's still banging out results!
Happy days world of sport Canon league division one and grandstand a huge part of my childhood and my early teenage years great memories to look back on
A word for Desmond Lynham. I know now that presenters received information through their earpeice during a live broadcast, but a lot of his comments were so instant that I'm sure it came from his own knowledge. How many presenters today could do that?
Researchers, yes. There's the famous April Fool's Day Prank, '89 I believe, where fisticuffs break out between researchers.... to my 12 year old eyes a genuine fight had broken out.
The ultimate embarrassment for any football fan back then was seeing the other teams score on the vidiprinter being spelled out in brackets LOL! Liverpool 9 (NINE) Ipswich 0 Was always done when a side scored 7 (SEVEN) or more
This is brilliant content I'd love this to be played to Martin Keown whose og's were highlighted by Lynam 17:00 David Davies (reporting!) who went on to be Executive Director @ the FA
Proper football. Don't get me wrong SSN isn't bad, and I do know the geezer who says the scores (from southampton). but this classic presentation is superb, no faff just pure grandstand. Todays final score is to slam bam wham thankyou mam. it's like theres a goal! over to so and so. (so and so speaks) then you get. and st marys! (so and so speaks again), stamford bridge!. can't keep up man. BT sport Score seems to whine and argue all the time.... its a pen, no it isn't, yes it is... schoolkids.
Interesting that there was live cricket from Australia at 10:45pm, its not scheduled in the Radio Times. This would be a very rare event. genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1987-02-07
The racing result from Wetherby was rather poignant, Dark Ivy and Durham Edition both went to the Grand National that year where Dark Ivy was killed at Bechers first time round
Noticeable how early the matches are finishing: 4:43pm. Shows the difference when in those days the 4th official (if there was one back then) didn't hold a board up at the end of each half. 45 minutes was 45 minutes and half time didn't have to be exactly 15 minutes either!
@@davidembleton5480 On BBC website I see times like 45+3 and 90+7. Think they are trying to get 90 mibutes of full play now retrieving ball from the touchline, from behind the goals etc. I think they have an electronic thing they bring out at 45.00 and 90.00 with sll the periods of non play during counted and plsyed after he at the end of the 45 and 90. Booting the ball out to run down the clock was probably paid more dividends to a team trying to hsng on for 0-0 or a 1-0 win than today.
And the days when the two Five Nations games started at the same time, and we only got brief highlights of the second match. (As of 2019 all matches are shown live, but on two terrestrial channels similar to the Soccer World Cup)...
Yeh, at Goodison myself. Coventry battered us first half and we got a scruffy one just before half time. Turned it on 2nd half and ended up champions for the last time... Though we did make hard work of it!
I was there as well in the Lower G. Didn't Coventry have Gary McAllister in midfield? I remember the first half because Coventry had us chasing shadows. They were passing through us. Coventry were the best away side I had seen come to Goodison in a long while.
@@genxer9947 McAllister joined Coventry from Leeds around 97. He would have been at Leicester back then. Just wish Liverpool had got him 5 years earlier than we did.
I went to a museum once where they had this machine that was like connected typewriters, what you typed on one was printed on both (like an IRC chat on paper!). My mum said they used to point a camera at one of them and watch it type the footy results.
anyone know why Liverpool didnt play that weekend,they played Jan28 then not again till feb 11,Swansea played friday in Division 4 2v2 home to Burnley,Arsenal lost 1v0 to Spurs on the sunday in the Littlewoods Cup semifinal first leg
Liverpool should have been at Arsenal but game was postponed due to Arsenal playing League Cup semi final the following day. The previous weekend was the FA Cup 4th round and we weren't involved after a controversial defeat to Luton in 3rd round. Burnley and Wolves both 4th Division then and only a last day win kept Burnley in League.
