Shocking that I can recall most of these players first names after all these years but cannot recall what I had for breakfast yesterday! I got to see Frank Worthington at Birmingham but sadly he was in the twilight of his career but the guy still oozed class it was privilege to watch.
Terry Neil. Talks about Conn's frustration and not 'my frustration'. How refreshing to see a game when the ref wasn't surrounded and managers sat down throughout the game. And the ref would have had better days. Thanks for posting.
Many thanks again for this, i remember (for some reason) the headline 'whats it all about alfie' very skilful player didnt work out for him at spurs, second half commentry on radio 2 long wave all we had here on saturdays
I believe Mooro got his commentators mixed up, as it was actually Hugh Johns that commentated on the Villa-Man United game. Keith Macklin was the playcaller for York City v Southampton.
It was a time when any team could have won the league every team was almost the same the players were more loyal to there team and big money diddent win the league so me of the teams playing in leauge one are outside the EFL now so sad I can still remember l orient were challenge for the title and the likes of its spurs city Chelsea villa were I second division that wouldn't happen these days money talks and its so sad to see teams go out of business all together because some big buisnessan took over some club and just walked away because he diddent make a profit this ruined a whole town with no team to support nothing to lookfoward to every Saturday such a shame
Aston Villa v Manchester United just didn't seem quite right as a second tier fixture. Though both clubs won promotion to The First Division at the end of season 1974-75, United making an instant return as Champions, Villa as runners-up (also League Cup winners)
The loss at Villa was our last defeat that season, coming as it did at the end of a bit of a wobble with a defeat at Oxford. The Doc rallied them and the beat Cardiff 4-0 the following week.
@@mnd1955 I know. I've got a copy of the book "Manchester 74-75 the player's stories". Quite a fascinating read, even though I'm not a United fan! February 1975 was a bad month for United, with just one win (v Hull), and defeats v Villa, Bristol City & Oxford. Perhaps a warning against over-confidence of sorts, for as you say, after the Villa defeat, United never lost again on their way to the Div 2. title. And in the aforementioned win v Cardiff, a certain Steve Coppell, made his debut, and quite a revelation he turned out to be ....
@@andrewc4612 It was still one of my favourite seasons of them all, 2nd Division or not. The final day against Blackpool at home will long live in my memory. -
@@mnd1955 The gate for the Villa game was just over 39,000. All-ticket from what I gather, had that not been the case, I reckon the attendance may well have been around the 50,000 mark. Villa had 57,000 present for their final home of the 74-75 campaign, v my own club, Sunderland. A 0-2 defeat scuppered our chances of joining United & Villa in Div. 1🙁
@@andrewc4612 All-ticket didn't mean that much in those day. Slip the bloke on the turnstile a few bob and jump over. Someone on the other side would watch for the coppers. The turnstile operators at the old Wembley made a mint from that dodge. If you look at the crowd shots from Villa, there's more than 39,000 there, especially for a game against United.
England and Peters both left the club within a matter of days. Martin Chivers autobiography suggested Peters basicallly told Terry Neill he was a crap manager so that was the end of him and Mike England had also had enough
Like watching pensioners playing walking football. And my god there were some dreadful passes. I know White Hart Lane was like a ploughed field but my god the standard was terrible. Still always great to see Spurs lose.

Frank’s hair in that post match interview was something to behold. It needed it’s own postcode😊
The same at Brighton
That 86 yr old groundsman would been born in 1889, must seen lot of changes in football through his life.

Love the old footage, brian Moore was a true legend. We had Hugh Johns on star soccer in the Midlands.

That season for York was a last glimmer of brilliance from Albert Johanesson before the abyss claimed him.
Geez the honesty and straightforwardness of a relegation threatened manager amazes me in this day of bland pre prepared Q&A's now.
@ 3-37....amazing as Spurs fans sing the Hammers song....

Back in the day when the game was played by men who didn't roll around when touched, and the one with the richest owners didn't always win the league.
