Lord Beaverbrook was actually Canadian but moved to Britain in his early 30s but nonetheless an excellent historical set of references. Also England did actually qualify for the 1982 World Cup although we did our best not to on this occasion.
a great sports commentary by a great sports commentator. This was 1981, He was so happy & passionate, he forgot to mention many others, He could have said (right off the top of my head)::"we have beaten England the land of the beatles, Rolling Srones, The Kinks, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rod Stewart, , Lulu, Petula Clark, Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck, Jrr Tolkien, Shakesepere, John Milton, Chaucer, Henry VIII, Cromwell, Elizabeth The First, Queen Victoria, Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon, Bernard Montgomery, Isaac Newton, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Peter O Toole, Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton, Alfred Hitchcock Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant"""""" and many more. I am not English by the way. I am an Asian who loves world history & an observer of global culture.
Lulu is Scottish as was Sean Connery - and Rod Stewart is more of a Jock than English in reality - Peter O'Toole was Irish as was Wellington geographically !!! Confusing England with Britain (aka UK) is not uncommon with some folks though.
To kjemper i norsk mediehistorie på eitt brett. Harald Tussberg var fantastisk i underhaldningsavdelinga i NRK og gav oss mange ein lått og fine program. Vi kan berre takke! 🏆💐
The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is given by the city of Oslo as a token of Norwegian gratitude to the people of London for their assistance during the years 1940-1945. A tree has been given annually since 1947. The tree lighting ceremony takes place on the first Thursday in December each year.
Norway idolised English football.. thats the only football they watched. Well done norway 🇳🇴 it was a good match. First ever GIANT KILLINGS IN FOOTBALL RECENT HISTORY..
@@ingefossen8499 true... It was Norwegian players that first arrived in the early days of the Premier league .. thanks to Norwegian players the Premier league is what it is today ...
I think that is what Lillelien is trying to say. England. The home of giants. Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill were Britain's prime minister during WWII.
As an Englishman I found his commentary hilarious. "Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating!"
We only lost 2-1 😂😂😂
Love it. From Ireland.
An absolute legend👍. May Thor bless him
He's still giving our boys a hell of a beating in heaven I bet
LEGENDE…alt jeg har å si❤

RIP that commentary lives in English culture as much as it does in Norway's
Even the losers have to tip the hat to such joy 😃👍

As a Scot myself he doesn't need to explain it at all.
This is a great quality video given that he died in 1987
1989

He died of cancer in 1987. I’ve got his autograph in his book, great memories!
"So, Neil Armstrong, can you remeber the number of the Apollo mission you were involved in?"
you can say that about England in most tournaments now especially after the pathetic 0-0 against Costa Rica in 2014!
The interviewer looks like '66 World Cup hero Alan Ball...
I thought it looked a bit like Emlyn Hughes
Well we saved you from the Germans
If the Germans had won they'd be saying "we saved you from the British".
