great footage..
There is such a beauty to old Technicolor footage. It looks more like a painting-come-to-life than a documentation of reality. Granted, this is a very small sample space, but the players clearly look significantly less athletic and at a lower level of fitness than today's players. The pace of the game, too, appeared slower than the contemporary English game; though, that could be a one-off tempo unique to this particular match. There were also a number of legal tackles that would surely be whistled these days. More physicality was tolerated back then. It's really interesting comparing and contrasting football games bifurcated by a 60 year interval.
Disclaimer: I have no emotional connection to any era of English football, as I am American. Therefore, I believe this remark is an unbiased appraisal...if anyone cares.
Very nice précis there, Jeremy. Back then, both boots and ball were significantly heavier - one begets the other, I suppose. It would slow the game just for those two reasons alone. But training wouldn’t have the benefit of today’s scientific analysis also.
@@paulhollis8879 Thanks for the remark, my friend. I actually wasn't aware of the weight differences between eras. But, upon reading your comment, it suddenly dawns on me that practically every piece of footage I've seen of the ball bending in physics-defying manners comes from the last several decades.Thanks for the info! Be well.
@@jeremygallagher2395 Also, the older leather balls would soak up water and become significantly heavier on damp days like this one clearly was. A lot of players from this era have gone on to develop dementia due to regular heading of such a heavy ball.
'Some people are saying there should be substitutes in cup finals' as one player hobbled around for most of the match. What a difference from today's game!
This was the first final i watched on tv, but. of course, it was in black and white then. In those days the only live football matches were the FA Cup final and England v Scotland.
I love being able to watch Pathe news reels on TH-cam
The Cataloguer's Note above is incorrect. As the commentator remarks, Ken Leek - their only international - was dropped from the Leicester team and replaced by Hugh McIlmoyle, whose inexperience was all too apparent. Incidentally, I've never heard a convincing explanation of WHY Leek was left out that day.
People had respect for each other in those days and things are back to how this is on this video ❤
Talk soccer in USA: 😀
Talk soccer in UK: 🌚
Gotta love the music!
'Victim of his own speed'. 4:10😂
Tottenham were a very good side.
did they just say tottenham were the champions
Yh Tottenham won the double that year
Yeah nice
3:09 Explain why this person has modern headphones in 1961? Or is it some kind of hearing aid?
It's a hearing aid.
We had some luck that day. Ron Henry. What a great defender.
Did he just say “dynamic midget” at 4:16?
Those were pre-PC days
Better than the Invincibles who only won 1 trophy
There's genuinely no way you actually believe this 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@IM-hh3wk its true tho Invincibles was lucky af
@@Brandonwashere3103 also tottenham only won 2 titles: Meanwhile if you only count arsenals PL titles its 3 from 13 titles
@@Drippydesi He is referring to the one season though...
As did the first team who went through a league season undefeated. Preston North End in 1888/89.
0:15 So strange to imagine now we have teams winning trebles .
2:57 dude on the left looks too modern for 1961
No😮
Leicester were unlucky. The Chalmers injury was decisive. Smith was the worst player on the pitch. King had him in his pocket the whole game, yet Smith made the breakthrough.
7:21 what's smell😂😂😂
Those hits were real
How is her for 2024
이거보면서 치킨시켜먹으면서 봣는데 개재밌엇는데
시발 80대노 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Spurs vs Leicester… battle of the bottlers
Dip stick about !
And yet Leicester ended up winning the league before Spurs did.
@@scsutton1 ... Spurs won the league in this year, so no
hmm and the British announcer called the game "soccer" (around 1:40 mark) time for all you brits to stop with the debate already, if your announcer called it soccer you have no argument against Americans calling it that. ....
I think when the first football teams were created in England by the end of the 19th century. They were known to have "Football Club" FC extended from their official names and soccer is more of a slang word used by military college rugby players back then.
Yep, the toffs in England (minority) called it Soccer. The majority of people and pretty much all the fans called it football.@@mr.quandaledingle3318
Soccer has always been a synonym for Football in the English language as far as I can remember; and I'm a septuganarian.
The word "soccer" was invented by the early private schoolboy Rugby Union followers and meant as a derogatory name. It was taken from the name Football Association or football being known as Association Football. The footballers responded with the term "rugger" for Rugby Union. All of it totally meaningless. The commentator at this match would have been regarded as "upper class" being BBC and thus could also have been a keen follower of the Rugby Union code. Soccer really only became recognised as such in the USA as they had their own type of hybrid football but it is not really accepted around the world with "football" being hugely preferred.
@@frednerk3477 💯
“Soccer”
back then, the working class called it football, and posh people called it soccer, as always, the working class were right
Sort of but not quite. The real reason for the Soccer/Football distinction back then was that most Soccer fans called the sport Football, but most Rugby League fans also called their sport Football too. Although Soccer was more widespread, both sports had similar finances and media support so the media had to use Soccer and Rugby League to differentiate. The financial Soccer boom of the 60s left Rugby League in it's wake and by the 70s there was little need to use the term Soccer any more in England. The need to refer to Football as Soccer still exists in Ireland though where Football could either mean Soccer or GAA depending on where you are. I can remember about ten years ago making the mistake in Monaghan of asking for directions to the Football Club. I meant Monaghan United {Soccer]. Instead I was directed to Monaghan GAA. Football to them means the local version.
Rugby Union*@@TheGiantKillers
@@DougieL Rugby Union was different in that it was a largely southern and amateur sport. Up until the 1960s, when people referred to Rugby, they meant Rugby Union.
@@TheGiantKillers Thanks for the insight. I was under the impression that Union was 'Rugby Football Union' and League was 'Rugby League', so the mostly southern and better off Union followers called the round ball game 'Soccer', because they were the football union?
Terrible football, no speed, cohesion, control and technique.
Football was like that back then way more physical. Back Then at least players would fight for the badge and they would not dive like babies like in todays game.
Have you seen 1970's Leeds? Today that team would be called tackling cheaters, absolutely different from today's teams..
Heavy case ball, tough boots and no subs ... lets see players today try that
The standard of football must have been very low back then if Spurs won something
Yeah I mean you only had players like Pele, Bobby Charlton, George Best in that era.
@@WilliamGarrow Yeah and they had the good fortune to play against a smattering of braindead and unfit donkeys in each and every team
The gap between the best and the worst player on any given pitch has decreased massively since then. The floor has risen far further than the ceiling, meaning it's harder for players to stand out
Lmao
@@SuperFuzzyDunlop Not true in the slightest lol Players like Neymar would not last a game back in the 60s 70s and 80s lol football was different back does not mean it worse. Yes there were next to no skill or technique in that football it way more physical.
@@WilliamGarrow George Best was a bit later than that - he was only about 15 when this match was played.
