Hamish McAlpine v Jimmy Greaves 

Greaves was a fantastic striker...and afterwards he was a fantastic TV pundit. A natural in both jobs. RIP Jimmy

Those were great days..never to be repeated..

I am Scottish through and through. However my boyhood hero was Jimmy Greaves. One of the finest strikers to wear a pair of football boots.

Used to love saint and greavsie

RIP Jimmy

the legendary hamish mcalpine

If I had to bet my life on someone finishing a chance, it would be Jimmy Greaves. He's the best ever in the top flight, but they airbrush him out by pretending the game started with the Premier League.

Paul Sturrock was such a good player

Im Scottish and I love Greavsie.

I was at this match. Great European night. A gang of tangerines fans came wandering round the Stretty before the gates were opened, chanting "Dindee yeneetet, Dindee yeneetet, we'll sapporrrrt ye everrrrrmorrre", and the Reds fans were line "there's only one United!!" back at them, but it was all good banter. Not all of '80s football culture was a hooliganistic death trap.

Greaves...quite simply the greatest scorer ever . Almost unmarkable, lightning quick, cool, clinical and deadly. For me to call him a goalhanger is insulting

Prime example of then and now - a jokes made about a recovering alcoholic “sipping a Guinness” it’s laughed off and forgotten quicker than it was said - today he would probably have to make a grovelling apology to the Twitter mob and be given absolute hell by the “be kind brigade” much better times and a much better game back then 👍

It was a great football show in the 80's

what a player luggie was, brilliant

Hamish! The King of keepers! Such a talent......

I love the way Greaves is so dismissive of Dundee Utd even though they were cheated out of a European cup final place by Roma only eight months earlier.

Great match! And as for Greavsie... a good guy with a great sense of humour :)

When i feel a bit low and needcheering g up i watch this

"Hamish, swing on the bar! Hamish, Hamish, swing on the bar!" - Starks Park - mid 80's'ish.

You kill me Greavsie ho ho ho...

Great comment from Big Jim at 3.26

two gentlemen

I was at the 2nd leg at Tannadice and the Man u fan were troublemaking bastards trying to pick fights with Dundee utd fans.Shouting,swearing and kicking innocent fans near young kids.No handshakes

That's absolute class!! 🤣

Hamish should've challenged Greaves to a game of golf. He used to play at Camperdown when I did (for all I know he still does). He was quite good at it...

Classic Saint and Greavsie.

Because of Jim Leighton, who whilst at Aberdeen during the '80s was superb.

Fuck me, how good were that Arabs team. Had a mate fae Dundee that was there that night.

Jesper Olsen, won the TOP goalscorer award at Mexico 86 world cup, Danish destroyer

Thankfully Jimmy"s Guinness days were well behind him then.

Great tv, it was a must watch programme every Saturday. The dodgy barnets made me smile, and even Saint (RIP) looks like he’s wearing a syrup.

Jimmy Greaves and John Lennon had changing faces.

Ach the banter: Joe Hart! ;-)

When jimmy starts talking about scottish goalkeepers🤣🤣🤣

Greaves comments were tongue in cheek, however that was when Scottish teams had good players. Imagine Dufc v's Mufc today? We'd get obliterated.

Why was he never selected for Scotland ?

Greatest comment on this show? Gdeevzie: "I dunno Saint, the ball sounds a bit hollow me?"

No var in them days

Gordon Strachan...DEE!

Great to hear them discussing famously poor scottish goalkeepers. England's worst position for about 20 years now. Suck it up.

Not a hope in hell Kendo. DUFC of today would get hammered by any of the DUFC sides from the eighties.

A wonder what the score would be if man utd played Dundee United nowadays

50,000 at Old Trafford full house, half as much again this days.

7 penalties so far for Manchester utd this season some things never change Ehhh

Crikey McApline looks about 4' 6''!

Stain & Greasy. Loved this show as a kid.

The VHS footage is tragic. I can't believe it never used to bother me. We're spoilt these days 😆 🤣

typical pre-rehearsed ITV tripe

Ahh the good old days, Utd all over them and the Manchester side with that bloody welsh twit up front throwing himself all over the shop got away wi murder esp up here. Doon in Nigel land I don't think he got a kick of the ball, was he playing, I'm not sure? Anyway Utd shoulda buried them at Old Trafford. Shocking for us to be held by Manchester, almost as shocking as being ripped off from taking on Liverpool to win the European Cup the year before when the bribed ref ensured Roma got the 3 goals necessary to knock us oot.

saint spouting like DU had got through. They went out 5-4. Premature hype.

My goodness how we miss this type of typical fans humour( P### taking) and the great man JG did a better job than Harry houdini getting himself out of that tight corner!! So funny...

Now on sky sports we have dinosaurs like Pinocchio Thompson and punch drunk Merse. Who all have their own little agendas. Thompson celebrating a goal like that on TV against another English team (City) was out of order and totally unprofessional. Fair enough against a European team but not another English club? The football media is so Scouse laden it's got to the point of sickly and cringeworthy.

Don't gee us grief greaves..he never liked the Scot's.

Are these guys playing in their underwear ?

The wee man Gordon Strachan... played better for Leeds :)

don't talk crap, Dundee utd would beat man utd, there's only one United and that's Dundee, man u couldn't beat Celtic today, have never beaten them at Parkhead in the Champions league so i think United would win.

Rubbish team then nothings changed

Those where the days Saint and Greavsie

Nice Gabicci on Jimmy COYS

How did we go from this to watching Lineker and that doppy bint (scott) or something 🤔 on motd..christ you can keep modern football.🙄😒
