Love Brian Moore. Brilliant commentator and multi tasked as a great presenter seen here. RIP Brian Moore. None of the commentators today are any where near as good as you were or Wollsenholme, Motty, Davies, Gubba or Sinstadt! All sorely missed!
Lovedstan,when we had him at brentford he was adored by the fans,no characters around now like him,and if one emerged he would be stifled or shunted off to some clinic to “correct” him.
Those shirts just oozed the club and football. I tell ya, when they started to allow ads on those glorious shirts, that was the beginning of the end for football.
@@richardfinlayson1524 I remember the big news Liverpool were doing it for Hitachi, but it was banned in certain competitions. UEFA weren't having it. I think Kettering Town were really the first in '76.
Brian Moore, excellent, his commentaries gave you all you needed to know, without having another 4 no all’s in the studio and a mouthpiece alongside him. Footballs best ever commentator, sadly missed.
He was great wasn't he. I cannot listen to the voices of most of the TV ones in the UK for the last decade or so, awful noise and as you say, so much superfluousness.
Brian was second to none when it came to commentating on football. Unbiased, with such enthusiasm was perfection...No doubt today's commentators could learn from him. RIP Brian.
Brian was my Favourite Commentator of all time , and i 100% agree with your description . You never heard him criticise players on what they should or could have done differently if they messed up, Brian was pure class and sadly missed
Brian was great, but remember the awful Roger Malone, who commentated for ITV in the west country area? In Ireland we always missed the big teams on the Big Match because we only got the west country version of ITV, and we had to watch bloody Bristol City and Bristol Rovers every Sunday.
I loved watching that. Back when football was so much more enjoyable and especially as pretty much all the players were British; how I miss those times.
Yeah Eric I’m a 63 year old fossil now so lived through both,with the benefit of hindsight(always useful) they were both great,even shit times seem blissful compared to current madness.
They might not having this super tournament but let's face it the top of the premiership is virtually it's own league .The days when a Derby could come up and win the league
It was spontaneous....Even trying to book a ticket now.... "what's ye name ,address, bank details etc..yes you can have a ticket , that's ye seat " it's all so robotic now . Like most games
The shit stadium, the shit food, the shit toilets....but what I miss most of all is the hooliganism...just loved throwing bog rolls and invading the pitch !
The way these guys celebrate goals is so much more classy than todays players. These days most of them act like they've just discovered life on Mars after they score.
There I was in 1973 watching this on a 22 inch colour TV set and here I am now watching it on a Samsung Galaxy S7. Technology has really advanced but sadly my hairline has done the opposite.
@@ewaf88 Indeed they were. I remember the excitement when we eventually rented a colour television. It was great seeing the football and sport in general. The thing is I find that if I watch most programs after a while I'm not even aware that I'm watching in black and white or colour, it's the quality of what I'm watching that matters. I've seen many great films in black and white and I think colour would not have necessarily improved the experience.
@@dermot51 worse than the Baseball Ground ? I remember someone running on in the middle of the game ( ON TV) with a tape measure and a paint pot and brush cos a pen had been awarded. He had to measure the spot and paint it onto the muddy quagmire..............brilliantly 70's
@@kevinmassey7675 Yeah Kevin The Baseball ground was a mud bath. Footballers today couldn't cope😄I went to see Southampton vs Leeds in the 80's the pitch was not too bad but my God it had weeds near the corner flag, how on earth did the groundsman miss those I'll never know😄
Wasnt around....been watching football since 87. However seen alot of older football. I reckon 69-75 were the golden years of football. Mavericks, rivals, loyalty and rock and roll football
Don's goal was clearly the better and no explanation is required, because he and his team achieved so much and one mistake would have messed it all up, so consider that fact and the amount of skill which made that goal so much better to watch!
Robert Smith: I enjoyed the way you expressed your thought with truth and your excellent choice of vocabulary; but, just check your spelling, otherwise you are on to a masterpiece.
Rob (hic!) you need to lay off the lager mate! Albeit, I still love you (hic!), The Cure and classics like (hic!) "A Forest!" "Same Deep Water!" So sad (hic!) yet so beautiful!
Don Rogers - perhaps Swindon's greatest player? Fabulous record. I've lived a few doors away from him for the last 24 years but haven't ever really spoken at length with him sadly.
Don was also known as the handless winger. Keeping his hands tucked away in his sleeves. Think Andy Partridge from XTC came out with this description many years ago on tv.
I picked Brian moore up in my taxi in the early 90s from Hartford train station in Cheshire, He was commentating on Northwich Victoria in the fa cup next day.
That Palace kit is still the best I've ever seen. I'm a Tottenham fan but I had that top that Don Rogers was wearing when he scored that great goal. I'm sure he got a better goal, though, in the same shirt against Man United once.
I know time marches on and all that....but this is the football I remember and used to spend all my time obsessing about- as did all my mates. I don’t even know who wins what these days and don’t even care.
Yep I’m a brentford fan so know a bit about heartache,but other than that I couldn’t care much these days.money has sucked the life out of the game.oh for the days of Bowles,Worthington,Marsh Lee ,the list is endless,sad but true.
What a player. The best I ever saw when I was following Palace. I remember this day as my father broke his glasses when the goal was scored. How good would he have been on todays pitches? So quick over 10 yards. An amazing burst of speed. I remember these times very fondly. A truely great player. One that was given the opportunity at the highest level he deserved. Thank you Don for all the great times.
Football quality was nowhere near as good. This standard wouldn’t even be league standard these days With modern training and fitness, yes, but the end product on this video isn’t particularly good.
@@mrrolight while I agree that the football was crap, football developed as a game played by town V town, city V city and village V village. I do empathise a bit with this. Look at Man City. None of the team know the first thing about life in Manchester. Imagine going to say, Jamaica and seeing the local cricket teams almost entirely made of people from England and Northern Europe. If the locals said “it’s not our game anymore” I would kind of understand their point of view. I am actually married to a foreigner and my daughter is mixed race, I don’t care for the race of the players, if they talk like me and have similar experience to me (eg Ian Wright, rashford, sol Campbell) then I get it. It’s when they can’t even speak English and are literalllt bussed around the world then I start to have doubts on what the game is even about. To me it’s “our lads from Bristol (I’m a rovers fan) against your lads”....it’s why I don’t even watch premiership football - it’s like a bizzare harlem globetrotters thing.
I completely agree. Ignore these other fuckwits. It's the injection of foreign players that has fucked up our national team because our home grown players can't get a look in. It would be much better if clubs were limited to two or three players from overseas, that would give our home grown talent much more time to develop at the highest level.
Growing up in NZ I would watch “match of the day” religiously every Sunday morning. Good o’l days before ‘ankle taps’ would have some rything on the ground clutching the face!
Well there i was in 1973 running around a football pitch wanting to go home and watch Match of the Day. I got home to a 19 inch Black and White TV in the small living room. I now watch reruns on a 65 inch TV and can no longer run lol. Oh and i have no hair to speak of.
@@jeannotschumacher1024 Alf Ramsey only told Peter Bonetti he was playing an hour before the game with West Germany. Bonetti was not match fit and looked totally lost during the game. Apparently Alf Ramsey did not understand how to properly use substitutes, and this was shown when he took Bobby Charlton off with England 2-0 up and only 20 mins to go. Hindsight is a wonderful thing! Thank you for discussing the issue. And I remember the 1972 England v West Germany game (2-3). Germany were a different class and I can remember thinking “Football has changed and English football must change” (it didn’t!).
Don Rogers was very loyal to Swindon. He was i believe very well-paid for a lower division player. Had he moved to a 'big' club earlier in his career, people who only followed 1st Div teams would have realized just how skilful he was. He wasn't actually that quick, but a brilliant dribbler and made finishing look so easy. Rarely missed when 1 on 1 with the goalie. Not unlike Jimmy Greaves (though not as fast) in his style, ball control and ice-cool finishing,
I suppose a lot of younger viewers would argue that there are lots of goals like that nowadays. The point to be made is that the pitches were heavier in the old days making football and the execution of chances much harder.
as a footy fan born in '69 this footage fills me with a confusing set of emotions, a deep nostalgia i can almost taste. most of the names i do not recognise, though eye have active recall of stan bowles' skills. QPR. the hoops.... i think i just temporarily turned into Ron Manager. i blame Moore.
At first I thought it was satire, then, because I'm 64, I remembered how in the 70's, we all looked like we were in a really good band, had a really good sense of humor, and knew the girls liked shorter shorts.
Wonderful time just a small boy in 1973 still loving my football now and still a season ticket holder at millwall London by birth millwall by the grace of God x
It all seems a v long time ago in a distant universe when I was still at school,the world was my oyster(that didn’t turn out too well),and my beloved parents were still here.thank god they didn’t live to see the shithole britain and the world has become.rip football as an entertainment,too!
