BUILD UP TO THE FA CUP FINAL 1988 - ITV - LIVERPOOL FC V WIMBLEDON FC - GREAVSIE WITH MIKE TYSON 

I wish FA Cup Final build ups were as important now, as well as the competition itself.

Jimmy was one of the greats of British telly at that time. Brilliant interview that. He’s such a down to earth fella Jim. Mike must have liked him. Even if he had no idea who he was. Was a very relaxed chat. Greavsie is a top Bloke. God bless him.

Great , great days. Greavsie was hilarious, the beautiful game and our beloved FA Cup is now lost forever to money and the Champions League.

Thanks for sharing. Great seeing this old TV coverage. Brings back memories. Love the meeting between Jimmy Greaves and Mike Tyson. Jimmy Greaves, what a character.

What a legend Greavsie is! No one like him on TV now.

Jimmy lasted longer in the ring than Frank Bruno did against Tyson RIP JIMMY

Great to see greavsie and Tyson chat together,...two legends in their sports

I used to love the celebrity match!!

I remember watching this at the time. I don't blame Greavsie for being frightened, I think anyone would have been frightened of Tyson in his prime.

Great interview with Mike Tyson.

Great interviews. Wow. They really open up to Jimmy.

The celebrity match was much more entertaining than the actual final.

Got to love Greavsie

GReat stuff, couple of comments there from Greavsie that would have provoked outrage nowadays, but they were fairly innocent.

Probably the best heavyweight of all time!!

The good old days. When will they return?

ITV brought the best out of Tyson by covering his fights against Marvis Frazier, Jose Riberta, Alfonso Ratcliff, Trevor Berbick, James Bonecrusher Smith, Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tucker, Tyrell Biggs, Larry Holmes, Tony Tubbs, Michael Spkins and the last one against Carl Williams. RIP, Reg Gutteridge, the voice of ITV boxing and the author of the Big Punchers.

I love how Dennis Taylor had his big specs on.

Jimmy’s question about listening to Rooney is really interesting because when he left Rooney it all went downhill.

God I miss these days - proper people , black , white , old , young , mixing together laughing all day , nobody being “ offended “ for absolutely fuck all - real celebrities with actual talent playing in a match together . It would be an absolute joke if played today. I fucking hate what it’s all become now .

Did I just see Barry Grant (aka Paul Usher) from Brookside playing for the red team?

'Eddy Grant, the Ruud Gullit lookalike' - not sure how well that comment would fare today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rod Stewart looks an excellent player.had the chance to be a pro.

The Twitter angry mob would have Jimmy greaves sacked today in a Danny baker style

Brilliant

Daley Thompson,looked some player,great goal.

Great pass by Dennis Taylor.

brilliant

I agree and if I'm honest, Tyson to lift the cup.

Big Frank is hilarious

Was this the last time LFC sang the national anthem? Can't hear any boos? I wonder why they boo? Can't think why? Oh that's right I remember now,1989 and the fact in 2023 nobody (Masonic Lodge) has said sorry and still shift blame. Well done the LFC fans showing that today we have backbones. It's freedom of expression in a time when freedoms are being crushed. ✌️

Bruno is just too much of a nice guy to be a great boxer. Bruno didn't want to hurt people, Tyson did.

Jimmy didn’t help Bruno confidence here lol

Jimmy bless him was indeed scared stiff! When Tyson said he was ready to beat Holmes when he was 19 to become the only teenager to win the strap n even maybe 16 it reminded me of Naz. Ok maybe MAYBE we in England got carried away by Naseem Hamed cos he wasnt exactly fighting the same calibre of boxers early that they do in the States. BUT Their is NO doubt he was an ultra physical specimen and a BIG talent especially early on. He peaked early so maybe he WAS that good after all, but like Tyson, his uniqueness, explosiveness and blazing foot and hand speed comes Youth. Naz said that if allowed, he firmly believed that, if given the chance [ which was illegal anyway ] he could have won the British Flyweight title at FOURTEEN! This was based on him sparring and actually HANDLING [apparently anyway] PROFESSIONAL fighters even CRUISERWEIGHTS. Naz thought he would have won anyway. Maybe, maybe not cos it would have been an outrageous gamble and could have ruined one of our premier boxing talents from this country. People do forget Naz won FIVE world titles and prob earned over 40 million pounds and is considered a disappointment haha.

So the Bruno fight didn't happen in England? What happened?

Mike: Sorry what was your name? Greivesy: you heard...

Alan Cork looking young

Wimbledon wanted it more that day its just that simple. I wanted LIVERPOOL TO WIN 100% it wasnt to be it was a very sad day.

dont mention frank warren to terry marsh lads

Jim once again proving that acting should be left to the professionals 😂

Can you imagine what that celebrity football match would look like NOW? You know it would be filled with wannabe stars from love island, tv bloody chefs, and the husbands [ or wifes lol] of celebs. In other words; People With NO TALENT. Rod stewart was even better than bobby moore in this game! Big fan of nigel benn , but he was bloody crap in this haha.

Cat's kill police? Poor mogs get blamed for everything
