Another great thing about 1980’s football, were the classic Adidas kits (which were made in the UK), and the Adidas Tango footballs (the absolute Rolls Royce of footballs and used in many World Cups).

what a refreshing experience watching this way, enjoyable in a different way, no diving, no dirty plays, just pure football. Also hearing the fans was heartwarming as well in today's circumstances

Footballers had way more personality, were individuals back then. These days they’re dull and unimaginative. One does something they all copy it. Tattoos, where they place the ball for a corner.
Met Jimmy Hill years back. He used to do this card trick where he'd say 'pick a card..... any card' and then ask you to write the answer on his chin. Bastard picked the right card every time, and there were no mirrors slyly hung about. Magician.
@@slobodanreka1088 You miss the point. I'm sure Jimmy was aware, as everybody else was, that he had a ridiculously large chin. So asking people to write on it just showed what a humble guy he was and had a great sense of humour.... something you don't have.
Should have been knighted in his lifetime. Changed the face of football as a player, manager, chairman, president, official, pundit and tv presenter. If you look at what he campaigned for successfully, lifting the salary cap, changing the rules of the game, 3 pts for a win etc and how he changed Cov city, the club, the area etc, as manager of Cov he took us up to the old div 1 where we stayed for 35 years odd, this was Coventry city. He introduced all seating areas in the ground, football songs etc. he was a true revolutionary, and that’s not just the chin jokes we were all familiar with growing up (itchy chin anyone?). Seems like he did too much and was too nice a person ever to be knighted. Just shows how much value those honours truly hold if someone like this wasn’t knighted, but some of the other jimmys were
Shortly after second half kick-off ( or was it kick off after the goal ) and refereed awards Forest a free kick. Jesper Olsen collects the ball and slides it to a Forest player to keep the game moving quickly. A bit later, Colin Walsh is caught offside and he collects the ball and gives it to a United player. I think if we are comparing modern day football with that of yesteryear, this is what I think is missing.
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain I disagree yes the football I prefer back then, but ex players I have no issue with doing the show because they have been there. Alan Shearer is a good pundit. He explains what strikers should and should not be doing and breaks it down. Just because someone does not speak queens English does not not mean they stupid. End of the day he is all time prem top scorer so he is qualified to talk. Lineker the same , Ian Wright, Roy Keane , Gary Neville etc these people you need to listen because they explain how it is. Its like any sport when you have ex boxers , ex Sprinters or Rugby players who did it a high level. Christian Benteke has goal drout and Alan Shearer was explaining why , and he was right , why do some strikers perform poor ? Positioning, not getting in the box when they should.
The presenters are ex players they should be on there was they explain things that people may not see because they are ex players. Shearer and Lineker 2 of the best English strikers since Jimmy Greaves taking about football. Why would you have an issue?? Only football fans would moan. F1,boxing , and almost every other sport fans do not moan when ex pro's on telly because they learn something.
@@guyneeve9365 that didn’t help. He stopped scoring in the 2nd half of the season which was obviously due to that. I can’t remember if we knew that then though or did we, the fans, only find out at the end of the season?? I can’t remember.
@@mrkipling2201 I think Sparky didnt know. Did Robbo get injured that season too? And would have Ferguson still have arrived in Nov 96 if the league had been won?
@@guyneeve9365 that’s a question I’ve always wondered about. I know that big Ron has said that he should have left in the summer of 86 instead of carrying on. If we’d won the league he might have gone then anyway. I think sparky had an idea that he was going to be sold. The annoying thing is we could have got Lineker in the summer of 1985. He was up for coming to United but we couldn’t sell one of our players fast enough to raise the money.
@@mrkipling2201 I always thought the team of 83-84 was better. Remember going to see them at Villa and win 3-0 to go top in March. I think we finished 4th!!
Not a surprise, when an investigation into the allegiances of Grade 1 referees recently, found that EIGHT of them were season ticket holders at Old Trafford, as opposed to three for the rest of the top-flight combined....

The week before this game I went to my very first football match. Oxford United vs Manchester United because at the tender age of 12 1/2 I was United mad. The scoreline was 3-1 to United so it was all good. This was a great team from the '80s
At the minute 28 of the video there was VAR but is used for fans surveillance not as we use today for games clips. England is a leading pioneer in top notch technology.
Chelsea's season started to collapse in the very next game against QPR in the League Cup. McLaughlin got injured and Dixon had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside which would have given them victory. A few days later Dixon was injured against Liverpool in the FA Cup defeat and then 3 days later they were beaten by QPR in the League Cup replay. To add to all that Niedzwiecki was injured against QPR in a league game two months later and never fully recovered. After being well placed in the League all season and second at the New Year they fell away and finished 6th. The fallout from all this lasted for 3 years until they were promoted again in 1989 after relegation in 88.
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain QPR couldn't wreck anything! I think you might mean the 5-0 win against Leeds when Chelsea got promoted in 84 or the 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge by Sunderland in the League Cup in 85.

@@letranger-4306 Yep, we were away at Southampton but banned because of trouble the year before. I went down with loads of others and tried to get in but not many did. They'd given tickets away to local school kids and it was hard not to get sussed out at the turnstiles, blokes were buying Soton bobble hats and crouching down as they tried to get in, lol. I think one of my lot did get in, the rest of us had our details taken by the Old Bill and were told to check in at Hampton Police Station (I think) by a certain time or we were nicked. I'm sure that was bollocks, lol, but since we didn't get in we went home anyway. Some Chelsea went to Rangers v Celtic instead (4-4 draw). Then it was off to Wembley the next day for that classic against City. Great weekend, what football was all about in those days.
United were beginning to come apart at the seams at this point after a rampant first half of the season - they had a poor spell in November and a wobble over Christmas but had recovered each time to stay ahead of the chasing pack; they were finally knocked off top spot a fortnight after this when they lost a televised game at West Ham and somehow managed to finish fourth. They signed Davenport soon after this but he failed to make much of an impact (save a memorable late goal on Easter Monday ‘87 that effectively cost Liverpool that year’s title).
@@kingkevinhector yes there were a handful of challenges that today would have been yellows at least but were just ignored. A completely different era!
@@DeathCultFan A challenge from Bowyer which was followed by one by another Forest player were both reckless and possibly should have received bookings. Walker's challenge on Whiteside was legitimate. He got to the ball. It was a hard challenge, but it was fair.
Those were the days when the presenters enjoyed presenting the highlights because they enjoyed the job unlike a certain presenter with big ears we all know only in it for the money £1,700,000 a year of BBC tax payers money.

The best season in that club’s history by an absolute mile - they’d been promoted from third to first divisions in consecutive years and staying up in 1986 was a minor miracle. They shipped goals like nobody’s business but John Aldridge banged in plenty at the other end - they stayed up with a 3-0 win over Arsenal after pretty much everyone else had played their final fixtures (would never happen now) and added the league cup to boot. They survived two more seasons in the top flight but with their crowds and resources even in those days of a more level playing field they simply couldn’t compete - losing Aldridge to Liverpool was a massive blow.
@@TheRagBag You're so right, they blew everyone else away therefore had everybody gunning for them. TBH they did come out with a load of old balls much of the time. Actually, come to think of it we are probably well shot of them
@@TheRagBag yeah I remember. The FA threatened to bring out the big guns in an attempt to defuse what had become an explosive situation. They were bang to rights. :)
Loving the rose tinted comments. Football was on the bones of its backside at this time. Banned from Europe, crap attendances and a Government who hated the sport and the fans who followed it.
Nostalgia is a fine thing though, but then everyone whinged about the Premier League when it started which was to kick start football in this country. But I love the era of the 70s and 80s when it was purely about football and nothing else, before TV money, billionaires and tourists!

At 45 minute the presenter said Totenham beat City 2-0 , it is a good omen before the Carapao cup final today between Spurs vs Citizens. cheer up Spurs fans.
Hahaha Jimmy Hill congratulates the ref in the Utd game for his penalty decisions after he lets Utd off with a blatant penalty. Great game tho and strange seeing a game last more than 5 mins on MOTD. It used to be a big deal when you went the match back then and saw the BBC cameras.

To add to all that Niedzwiecki was injured against QPR in a league game two months later and never fully recovered. After being well placed in the League all season and second at the New Year they fell away and finished 6th. The fallout from all this lasted for 3 years until they were promoted again in 1989 after relegation in 88.
It’s that when they wrecked the stadium and mad crowd trouble..?
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain QPR couldn't wreck anything! I think you might mean the 5-0 win against Leeds when Chelsea got promoted in 84 or the 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge by Sunderland in the League Cup in 85.
@@Ruda-n4h No I meant Chelsea ha, but no your right it was the crowd trouble between Chelsea v derby I was thinking of , they had a ding dong with Leeds and I think the week after they played derby away and pulled all the seats out the stands lol, sorry my memory is shot..My favourite ever away day was watching Leeds at QPR, great times ha
I seem to recall them beating Man City in the Full Members Cup Final, 1 day after both teams had played a league game.
@@letranger-4306 Yep, we were away at Southampton but banned because of trouble the year before. I went down with loads of others and tried to get in but not many did. They'd given tickets away to local school kids and it was hard not to get sussed out at the turnstiles, blokes were buying Soton bobble hats and crouching down as they tried to get in, lol. I think one of my lot did get in, the rest of us had our details taken by the Old Bill and were told to check in at Hampton Police Station (I think) by a certain time or we were nicked. I'm sure that was bollocks, lol, but since we didn't get in we went home anyway. Some Chelsea went to Rangers v Celtic instead (4-4 draw). Then it was off to Wembley the next day for that classic against City. Great weekend, what football was all about in those days.
I now remember why I didn’t like watching football in the 80s. The ball is always in the air. Having said that, there are no silly stoppages.
Football before diving and men rolling on the floor and before money ruined the game
United were beginning to come apart at the seams at this point after a rampant first half of the season - they had a poor spell in November and a wobble over Christmas but had recovered each time to stay ahead of the chasing pack; they were finally knocked off top spot a fortnight after this when they lost a televised game at West Ham and somehow managed to finish fourth.
They signed Davenport soon after this but he failed to make much of an impact (save a memorable late goal on Easter Monday ‘87 that effectively cost Liverpool that year’s title).
Peter Davenport had a great presence. You can see why United signed him a few months later.
Some of the challenges made me laugh, if made today the air-ambulance would be called in, the police would be involved and the UN convened.
6:45 would be a straight red card today. He wasn't even booked for that.
@@kingkevinhector yes there were a handful of challenges that today would have been yellows at least but were just ignored. A completely different era!
@@DeathCultFan A challenge from Bowyer which was followed by one by another Forest player were both reckless and possibly should have received bookings. Walker's challenge on Whiteside was legitimate. He got to the ball. It was a hard challenge, but it was fair.
😆😆
@@DeathCultFan & so so much better it was
how much would strachan cost now, great great player one of the best midfield players ever
Kids of today watch MOTD and think lineker is an idiot when in fact he was one of the best strikers this country has ever produced
Just watching the first match, there would have been several penalties if that was officiated today. How times have changed.
The tackle on Jesper Olson @5.30 didn’t even get a yellow, today it would be without question a red.
Those were the days when the presenters enjoyed presenting the highlights because they enjoyed the job unlike a certain presenter with big ears we all know only in it for the money £1,700,000 a year of BBC tax payers money.
Jealous little snowflake triggered by superior intellects?
@@letranger-4306 What are you Frog? I most certainly not a snowflake You obviously don't know when you're being ripped off by the BBC no one is worth that wage along with his wage from advertising crisps the greedy lefty prat. 6 people agree with me.
Well said Kevin. I agree with you 100%.
Well said Kevin total facts
Speedie for Chelsea, forgot about him, great footballer
Great!Really!?useful maybe decent.Great is going over the top me thinks.
When men were men and shorts were......short
YES AND LOOK AT COLIN GIBSON'S SHORT.IT DOES NOT LEAVE TOO MUCH TO THE IMAGINATION.
There’s a great podcast called When Shorts Were Short, it’s a cracking listen!
37:45
Gosh, Oxford Utd in the top division !
The only team shown in the bottom half there that hasn't played there since it became the Premier League.
The best season in that club’s history by an absolute mile - they’d been promoted from third to first divisions in consecutive years and staying up in 1986 was a minor miracle. They shipped goals like nobody’s business but John Aldridge banged in plenty at the other end - they stayed up with a 3-0 win over Arsenal after pretty much everyone else had played their final fixtures (would never happen now) and added the league cup to boot.
They survived two more seasons in the top flight but with their crowds and resources even in those days of a more level playing field they simply couldn’t compete - losing Aldridge to Liverpool was a massive blow.
@@Wadworth6XLad
Great info, thanks.
Interesting to see Oxford & Cambridge compete in football this season and not just in a boat !
Olsen was a great player. Very stylish footballer.
Yap except the Scotland Denmark 86 incident....
Very health conscious were West Brom that season with the no smoking sign as their shirt sponsor!!
i had that kit . everton fan to walking around age 6 with no smoking,and i grew up a arsenist
Great to see this having been in the Forest end that day . We had a fun time laughing at the tart Olsen in his mini dress.
Some good prospects for the future here
Whatever happened to the league sponsors Cannon?
They got fired
Will never find another sponsor of that Calibre...
@@TheRagBag You're so right, they blew everyone else away therefore had everybody gunning for them. TBH they did come out with a load of old balls much of the time. Actually, come to think of it we are probably well shot of them
@@DeathCultFan hahaha
@@DeathCultFan known fact they were biased towards Arsenal and the Chairman Lee Enfield had a very short fuse when questioned about it...
@@TheRagBag yeah I remember. The FA threatened to bring out the big guns in an attempt to defuse what had become an explosive situation. They were bang to rights. :)
Real soccer...no multi colored boots, no tattoos, no floppers
That pitch! Half the player's these days would probly refuse to play on that for fear of injury.
Not just the pitch, look at the dugout, or 'technical area' as it's called today. 14:00 And this is at Old Trafford! 😄
Albions slide began this year. Tragic ...
Loving the rose tinted comments. Football was on the bones of its backside at this time. Banned from Europe, crap attendances and a Government who hated the sport and the fans who followed it.
Nostalgia is a fine thing though, but then everyone whinged about the Premier League when it started which was to kick start football in this country. But I love the era of the 70s and 80s when it was purely about football and nothing else, before TV money, billionaires and tourists!
Back when the tackles were hard and the players just got up without moaning
Something old people said about the 60s back in the 80s. You're just old....
And the football was shit
Is there something wrong with my monitor? His face seems to be a bit stretched
Send neymar back to 80s football
@@nickmartin3246 The football was great...but the pitches were shit.
No mention of the team that went on to win The Double
I met Jimmy a few years ago, nice man
Not many home fans at Birmingham or West Brom. Think gate was 10k at both games with decent away fan turnouts
I would love to see the players of today's teams being tackled by Trevor hockey Dave Mackay Norman hunter rip and Tommy Smith could you image it the thought is pure gold
They'd never get back up again. They'd just keep rolling around till full time. Then complain to the ref lol
if they could catch them.
Think I was at this match - next to The Stretford End.
Remember being at that game......GUTTED !
And then UTD signed Peter Davenport.....Was a better player for Forrest
Quality! 1986 🤪 👊 Happy days
ONLY IF YOU ARE A LIVERPOOL FAN!
Only when you see this, do you understand just how poor the game is nowadays. Stopped watching a few years back.
It was good so see two ex Saints 😇 managers in the untied Team
Great finish by Jesper for his 2nd.
Iam 56 and can’t remember it been called Cannon league??
im 53 and can't ever remember that either.....🤔
At 45 minute the presenter said Totenham beat City 2-0 , it is a good omen before the Carapao cup final today between Spurs vs Citizens. cheer up Spurs fans.
Unfortunately wasn’t to be mate...
Olsen didn't even notice the Bruce Lea wipeout @5.40, todays girls would have been screaming their little skirts off
Lots of classic strips in the 80s but no that Birmingham City one.
David Speedie in an all red strip...like he would wear for Liverpool.
ahhhhhh proper grounds
SHORT shorts!
Hahaha Jimmy Hill congratulates the ref in the Utd game for his penalty decisions after he lets Utd off with a blatant penalty. Great game tho and strange seeing a game last more than 5 mins on MOTD. It used to be a big deal when you went the match back then and saw the BBC cameras.
HE DID NOT COMMENT ABOUT FORREST'S HANDBALL GOAL THOUGH
AND HARDLY JOHN MOTSON
Mans game ..
Three chances to get a decent cross in from the off and none of them could do it
Jimmy Hill mate Jimmy Hill ☺
The premier league is the football version of the plague !
Their was more Birmingham fans at the end of the match than their was at the beginning !!!
Top man Jimmy Hill
My 10th Birthday ✌🏻
I was 10 eight days later🤣

Before the rot set in and the Americans got their money grabbing hands on the beautiful game
Great times for going to football matches,no prima donna footballers here!
And i agree,United always get their fare share of penalties!
IT WAS A PENALTY.WHAT ABOUT THE CLEAR HANDBALL FOR FORREST HERE?DOUBLE STANDARDS?
@@ΝικοςΧαραλαμπους-γ8ο look at statistics through the years Man United always got more penalties awarded and Liverpool was the other team!
Statistics do not lie over the years.
@@chris-rfs THE FACT THAT A TEAM GETS MORE PENALTIES DOES NOT MEAN THEY SHOULD'NT BE AWARDED TO THEM IF THEY ARE PENALTIES AND YOU DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION TO THIS MATCH. YES I KNOW IT WAS 35 YEARS AGO BUT THE SPORTCASTER SAYS UNITED GET THEIR FAIR SHARE OF PENALTIES WHEN IT WAS A CLEAR PENALTY AND AT THE SAME TIME THE HANDBALL GOAL OF FOREST WAS HARDLY MENTIONED AND THAT AS A PROTEST FRROM UNITED PLAYERS .THAT IS NOT FAIR.
AND LET US NOT FORGET THAT IN THE 80S UNITED WON JUST 2 CUPS.
@@ΝικοςΧαραλαμπους-γ8ο yes,i see your point,but why the capital letters?!
I am not anti man utd at all its just that some teams seem to get more luck because of their reputation or history.Referees can also be intimadated by certain teams.
Take care!👍
@@chris-rfs WELL I AM GLAD YOU SEE MY POINT OF VIEW.SOMETIMES IS NOT JUST THE BAD REFEREES BUT BAD SPORTCASTERS AND BAD PRESENTERS.AS IN THIS CASE (MANUTD-NOTTS FOREST)THEY CREATE THEIR OWN TRUTH OR RATHER HALF TRUTH.
AS FOR THE CAPITAL LETTERS I FIND IT EASIER TO WRITE IN THIS FORM.BUT WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU?
Didnt Ron Saunders go from Birmingham to Villa....... Unbelievable
Other way round mate, he also left Birmingham to join West Brom the season featured in this episode 85/86
Man.Utd's Adidas shirt looked similar to Southampton's Patrick one. Very weird. At least Forest wore a traditional Adidas kit.
I hate modern football...VAR and all these additional minutes at the end of both halves are making the game a lottery.
So much better than the crab football we have to endure today
Back,back,sideways,back
Funking awful
7000 for a top league match! Wow...
Violence was mad in these days and attendances dropped as a result..!!☮️❤️
There was a full scale riot there the year before against Leeds, watch the footage it’s on here, a fan got killed that day , the same day loads were killed at the Bradford fire 🔥...Rip to all the victims from both ❤️☮️
match of the day then Parkinson
...those wert days...
Even when man utd where shit in the second division they got shown on BBC.
Always paid off the right people to be the media darlings. Nothings changed.

I heard that. Ironic, considering the singer was a homosexual.

@@ΝικοςΧαραλαμπους-γ8ο Homosexually has nothing to do with it. Absolutely nothing. But considering the industry of football is ANTI gay and the stadium was playing that song was ironic. My background is football, so I'm full aware of this mentality.

@@ΝικοςΧαραλαμπους-γ8ο I agree. I have always defended homosexuality. I've even had a debate with a member of the Church of England about this issue. I've always been vocal and will continue being vocal about homosexuality.
Bad times for the blues and baggies. Empty stadiums and relegation.
It is all about presenters and the media these days. My We used to have one commentator who described the game. Now it's an hour of chat before, then half time trying to talk up a boring match, two commentators, one ex pro trying to tell those on the pitch how to play, then more after the game. Best way to watch is record it and fast forward the rubbish.
Youuuuuu redssssssss!!! FTID
West bromajarban according to subtitles. 😂 had a season like 20-21 back then also, that’s what happens when you sell your best players...
i love these clips but the comments are hilariously predictable.
YES MOSTLY ANTI MANUTD.NOBODY REFERS TO THE FOREST HANDBALL AS IF THEY ARE BLIND.
So Statham missed 2 spot kicks
I AM SUPRISED NONE OF THE COMMENTS REFERS TO FOREST HANDBALL THOUGH IN THE COMMENTS.
The woke lot will ban this as there are far to many "English" men playing in one game.
