Football Heaven, Thanks very much for this exciting Match of the Day programme featuring top-class action between Liverpool and Ipswich and also fine football from West Ham!
West Ham went on to win Div 2 by record points back then.Fantastic season we only lost 4 games Luton H&A QPR A & Derby A.League Cup Runners Up,Quater Final of the ECWC.Alongside 1985/6 my favourite season in my 5 decades.Look at a packed Upton Park back then compared to the scaffolding site in Stratford E20.Great days.
LIVERPOOL WON FA CUP AND THE LEAGUE. Everton was 2nd Westham at Upton park Old Trafford respectively put man utd out of the F A cup beat them in the League.
I've got that brown Coventry shirt. Proper club issue with embroidered logos and hand sewn 13 on the back. And full size "poke your eye out" collars. :P
I forgot they had the brown away kit. Its so unique that kit. I've got my Wales away original still (obviously won't fit me nowadays as its youth size) which was yellow with little admiral logos on the collar. Loved those strips.
@@mrkipling2201 Well I actually offered it to a guy who worked at Coventry City as their historian a few years back and got zero reply. I'm not even a Coventry fan... I'm Leeds through and through. Got the shirt off ebay years ago when it was a new site. I just love retro 70's and 80's football stuff. :P
Darwinion same here I love my 80’s football, much better than the modern rubbish. I heard that it is worth a bit of money through watching a documentary about the kit makers admiral. Then I had a look on eBay and a few other websites and found nothing. It seems like there’s none for sale at the moment. I must admit that I don’t really like it looks wise but it’s one of those items that has achieved cult status.
Nice to see players standing up an not rolling around as though they've been shot, no sponsors on the shirts and fans standing. All this and a couple of quid to get in.
Blimey! Look at Phil Thompson, compared to now!!! 🤣 Also, this just goes to show how you can't compare players from different eras. Look at the wide open spaces on the pitch. Look at that Liverpool number 6s pipecleaner legs! Even a rubbish Championship team would beat either of these 2 sides, because of their better strength, superior fitness, tactics, workrate. No backpasses allowed, and as for the tackling, feisty doesn't come close!!
I am presuming you're jesting! :P That number six, is Alan Hansen, one of the best defenders to have played the game. No, not even a very good Championship team would have beaten Liverpool or Ipswich. Especially the quality of players that Liverpool had in the 80s. Hansen, Souness, Dalglish, Clemence, Kennedy. Just to name a few. A championship team definitely does not have better tactics, fitness, work rate than a Liverpool team of the 70s or 80s. They don't even come close. If you had said a top six to maybe a top twelve premiership side then maybe I would have agreed with you.
I like it Kathryn. Some people thought you were being serious...LOL Nice One. Keep It Up ! btw......er, you WERE joking weren't you...................................:)
The Stadiums were awful ? MOST fans CHOSE to stand.Even today fans are having to pay seat prices and THEN standing as you are much more involved in the game. Almost everyone I know who experienced the old and new stadiums preferred the unique,individualistic old stadiums to the Soulless,Sanitised (relatively ) silent modern ones.. "Bet 365 Stadium" ?? etc..LOL Some of the best football was played on those pitches when football was truly exciting.Now VAR and cameras everywhere...
@@ffotograffyddgohebwyr8308 Did you ever experience The Roker Roar,The Ayresome Angels or The Gallowgate when it was terraces? That's just The North East ! Then extend that to all parts further down South,East and Weet. Ask any West Ham whether they would rather be in the bearpit that was Upton Park or The rented Athletics track well away from their spiritual home. Ask Arsenal fans who remember The North Bank. I would say Spurs is one of the few exceptions..
@distantvoices Bit like schools over the last 65 years in London.Starts off( like me ) near Brixton Whites 99% Black students 1% then it creeps up to 5% soon that becomes 10% then due to much larger families and half-siblings everywhere it's 20% and with Whites moving to The Suburbs/Countryside/Coast to get away it becomes 95% like muy old school and a legion of others. As Mixed Raced increases as well as Black players then Whites WILL be the small minority..
