I was at that game as Blues season ticket holder. It was a time when even the opposition fans applauded good football. He got a very generous reaction from Blues fans.
Thanks for posting this! The good old days of football with real characters and players who had genuine talent - even more so to play on those pitches! Fantastic video!
I was right behind the goal when Possee scored for Millwall. I remember 16 year old Trevor Francis was playing for Birmingham that day, too. 3-0 to Wall!
Be nice, I didn't even notice that the person who posted this video was the one who said that Lampard's been around for a while. Cuz if If I did, I'd recognise the sarcasm right away.
Bobby Kerr's crisp, full volley. Easily. (Anyone know which did win btw?) A few comments joking about the mud but, seriously, I think a return to those conditions might help shake off the sterility and predictability of today's game.
Yes, exactly what I said. Today's pitches of mixed grass & synthetic 'grass' just gets sections wheeled out & repaired. Another major thing is this lightweight ball that flies thru the air & on ground it's more a circus act. It's sped the game up & making great & hard tackles are scarce. Bring back the ball that we used from mid 60s to end of the millennium.
Its great to watch these players some great goals,and i played on pitches like the really bad ones regularly, you would not put cattle on them,just shows the skills of these lads to pass the ball around on them.
Great to see these goals and the football players. Look at the state of some of the pitches that were featured - didn't worry the players one bit though - wonder how some of the 'handbag fairies' in the Premier would have dealt with that? --- they might have got their brightly covered boots muddy ! --shame!
Good to see British players playing for British clubs unlike the foreign mercenaries we have now. Playing for their club actually meant something to them, it wasn't all about money or gaining a reputation so you could go to a Spanish club.
Good spot. Had a great first touch. That confidence to be cool in front of goal. Good with diving headers too. Thirty million player now. Died so early.
The 1960s and 1970s were good times and some people wish They could relive those days and I still wish I could play proper physical football on muddy pitches again But some elements of the 1970s should stay buried in the past
Never seen Leeds in red before. Given the quality of the goal and the 7 on his back, I would have sworn that was George Best if you'd shown it to me from the other side of a bus window during a freak hailstorm.
I always used to stand.. Much more fun. but could get awkward when some idiots wanted a bit of bovver. And in those days the police were just as bad. :(
I miss proper mens football so much compared to the diving, shirt pulling, whinging overpaid foreigners we have today. They would refuse to play on those pitches in case their shirt got dirty or some mud in their hair.
There are plenty of anti-racists in this country also, and plenty who are sickened by attitudes such as those expressed by so-called Christians on this blog - I'm surprised youtube have allowed such rubbish
@Gary Faircloth that's simply not the case. Young South American players do not get work permits unless they are established internationals. They don't have this problem in Spain or Portugal, where they are also more likely to share a language. If South Americans are good enough,the top Premier League teams will (try to) buy them. It's nonsense to claim that the PL 'can't attract them', which is why so many of the Brazil and Argentina international team either play here or used to.
