Highlights of Queen's Park Rangers v Burnley, Coventry City v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town v Middlesbrough. Includes interview with Gerry Francis.
My first season watching Burnley was 1974/75, And I've been watching them every season since. We did the double over a very good Q.P.R team that season. Great memories 🏐🥅🏟️👍
Refreshing to watch the old goals where a few handshakes/hugs sufficed, instead of todays big ceremony of jogging to the touchline for some dumb hand gesture followed by a dance routine while you wait for the whole team and bench to arrive
My favourite players were Don givens and Trevor. I used to live just off the Uxbridge Road not that far from Loftus Road. I loved those times in West London, loved shepherd's Bush. Is the telegraph still open. Goin back soon. Got some friends on goldhawk Road and askew Road. Loved the Bush.
QPR were a great side then, coming second to Liverpool the following season, 1975-6. Sadly, Burnley were relegated that year and didn't come back to the top division until the 2000s...
Its only when you see the limitations of some of the highly paid premier league imports, you can see how exciting the 70s era was in comparison. I first saw Larry Lloyd playing for Bristol Rovers in a re-arranged 4th round FA Cup tie against Everton at Goodison Park in January 1969. Alongside another central defender, Stuart Taylor they played very well against a Everton side on top of their game, only losing to a late goal. Bill Shankly once said he was at the game and lined up Larry Lloyd as a replacement for Ron Yeats. He later left Liverpool for Coventry and had lost his form and place when Brian Clough came in and signed him for Notts Forest. Where he formed a partnership with Kenny Burns to give Forest a tight defence for 2 trophy laden seasons. When i saw Forest at Goodison on the opening day of the 1977=78 season they beat Everton 3-1 and he played very well, A measure of how good Everton were at the time, after this they went undefeated in the league until the December. Forest won the league on their first season back in the top flight. And slogged it out with Liverpool for honours over the next few years.
@@Eat-MyGoal Maybe in your opinion, however I imagine many forest fans and players from that era would be very proud of their teams success and achievements winning the European Cup and English League title. And I am not a forest supporter.
As a rugby french fan from Toulouse , i would like to Say how much i love all the vidéos. I m a english military son born in germany in 1970. And i remember my father to explain what was all the british clubs. Many many Thanks to you and many cheers to all my Brothers from england ❤
It’s nice see Brian Moore Looking very smart In the days when commentators Could commentate unlike those Today Bring back Brian Moore And David Coleman
Does anyone else remember the poster ad for a brand of shampoo that seemed to be in every Tube station around that time featuring Phil Parkes, his hair immaculate? The legend said something like "half an hour ago this man's hair looked as if it had been dragged around the pitch at Queens Park Rangers football ground all afternoon. It had."
Gerry Francis had a good point. What if Gillard had suffered a broken leg? QPR defenders were clearly distracted by the man on the ground but if it's up to the ref, then what could be done?
Willie Carr in about 6 weeks after that game would be a Wolves player debut v Chelsea 15th March and the next season Barry Powell would move to Coventry
The QPR v Burnley game was a game covered by London Weekend Television, the commentator is Brian Moore and the QPR team are wearing blue and white hooped jerseys.
Some truly great men played in this game - RIP Taffy, hope you're having a kick about with the rest of the Clarets up there 💜

Thanks for this upload that was a super qpr team unlucky not to win the league following season , speaking as a 'pool supporter
bowles, francis were brilliant
They weren't unlucky, they weren't good enough.
Very good game. QPR were excellent back then.
When players went down and stayed down in those days you knew it was real.

Nice message:)
Great days to watch football, loved it back then, far better then today, 100 mph stuff. When players took a knock, they got up and carried on.
It’s nice see Brian Moore
Looking very smart
In the days when commentators
Could commentate unlike those
Today
Bring back Brian Moore
And David Coleman
The lino giving it some back in the QPR game!! Brilliant!!
Minor kerfuffle with the kids behind the goal giving some to the Burnley keeper, before a 'friendly' word from the old bill. 😆

The legend said something like "half an hour ago this man's hair looked as if it had been dragged around the pitch at Queens Park Rangers football ground all afternoon. It had."
Yep, it was called Cossack.. hairspray if I remember right
Brain Moore what a great commentator.
Gerry Francis had a good point. What if Gillard had suffered a broken leg? QPR defenders were clearly distracted by the man on the ground but if it's up to the ref, then what could be done?
Just the one substitute ?? Gillard being the most "exotic" name on the team-sheets ...(are they called that now ? ) . Love these "old" clips ...
Hugh Johns!
That goal should not have stood. Ian Gillard was injured or were the rules different then?
Indeed there were, teams didn't put the ball out and the referee was under no obligations to stop the game.
Better days than the over paid prima Donna's that masquerade as footballers today
Willie Carr in about 6 weeks after that game would be a Wolves player debut v Chelsea 15th March and the next season Barry Powell would move to Coventry
As soon as I saw that little guy come out of the tunnel, I thought "that's Flynn"
R.I.P. Taffy.
when football was football
COME ON YOU CLARETS !!!!
Cov v Wolves,in those days,half the nation (at least) would have seen it in black and white tv and the colours are a bit of a kit clash.
The QPR v Burnley game was a game covered by London Weekend Television, the commentator is Brian Moore and the QPR team are wearing blue and white hooped jerseys.
Why is there no mention of the blatant penalty kick on Gerry Francis which was not even talked about?
Couldnt believe that myself. Francis didnt mention it and didnt seem to complain too much at the time but its the most obvious penalty in the world.
Looked to me like Rangers were wearing rugby shirts, especially the collars.
Were these worn the whole season?
Yes,it was an Admiral kit.
RIP Doc Johnson
Bit unfair for Brian Moore to have a slight pop at ATV for picking a game where the kits are identical in B&W! What were they meant to do?
Some games made allowances for TV games. most had B and w sets. One team could have worn lighter shorts, same colours as shirts.
Bear in mind by 1975 only around half the UK households had colour TV, according to the licensing authorities.
Bravo
Ball control? No thanks we're British
Hmmm, lots of diving and rolling around feigning injury in the QPR vs Burnley game. Wonder what the rose-tinted spectacle brigade make of that?
But there just wasn't!
