Bobby Charlton. My Absolute football hero. In this game he was still suffering mentally from the Aircrash. As far as I’m concerned from the sixties onward he became the greatest Footballer that I had ever seen. Yes,Di Stephano, Pele, etc,etc. Bobby was the greatest. But I must include the greatest defender I have ever seen. Bobby Moore. God Bless them. I also would like to pay tribute to Bill Brown. He had a tremendous game in this one against England. Fantastic goalkeeper.
I watched Blackburn Rovers as a boy and I could recognise Bryan Douglas and Ronnie Clayton without seeing their numbers or their names being mentioned. Bill Brown, the Spurs goalkeeper, was very good in the day. Bobby Charlton might have been England’s best ever player, taking account of changes in conditioning, tactics etc
Some great players on show. Not only the young skilful Bobby Charlton, but the brilliant and silky skills of England’s playmaker and inside forward, Johnny Haynes - also Bryan Douglas with his pace, intelligent running and someone who scored lots of goals, and not forgetting the wonderful midfielder, Ronnie Clayton, who delivered so many great passes. The other player that deserves a mention is the Scottish goalkeeper, Bill Brown, who performed so heroically here, as well as for Spurs.
Also I much prefer the subdued, refined commentary... I can't stand modern commentators who scream hysterically. Sam Matterface of TalkSport (for his demented reaction to the Sergio Agüero late, title wining goal for Man City in 2012) should especially feel absolutely embarrased for himself. Pathetic.
In 1964 Bryan Douglas gave the finest performance I have ever seen from an opposition player at the City Ground Nottingham. He was mesmerising and a class apart.
@@howardhewitt4792 And Bryan is still in circulation, though, sadly, his great partner, Ronnie Clayton (one-time England captain ---useful info for quiz addicts) died a number of years ago.
Brilliant drop of the shoulder at 13:30 - Bobby Charlton seems to grow into the match as it progresses. Possibly coming to terms with what he'd been through.
That was hard to watch. Scotland did not create a single chance and I am surprised at how easily both sides lose possession. Charlton made several errors.
Every single time Scotland had the ball, the highlights editor cut away to a phase of England possession, inevitably involving Bobby Charlton. Who knows whether Scotland created any chances or not? I probably watched the game at the time, but I was only six and have no memory of it now. I'm sure I would have been scunnered by the result though.
If you can watch the whole match it was a very entertaining game with plenty of incident, unlike today's risk averse passing around at the back game. Interestingly England played the original false No.9 game with no recognized striker. Broadbent, Haynes & Charlton were all skillful inside forwards supported by Clayton & Flowers "holding". Douglas & Holden wingers and the full backs stayed back!
It looks like Jackie in the caption, not Bobby. England could use someone with his long range shooting skills today. Long range shooting ability doesn’t seem anywhere as good as it once was.
England had a player who had those qualities, and who could have been the new Bobby Charlton, but they treated him despicably and he has now declared for Jamaica. His name is Mason Greenwood.
Not so certain it would be so cut and dried to be honest. That old style football was seriously so much heavier than modern one’s. It also had laces covering the inner bladder which made it bounce strangely at times (or cut if you got unlucky in the header). It wouldn’t “fly” like the modern ball either. Then, there’s the boots and the rules. It was a lot more physical, so if the modern player had to play those guys by those old rules, not so sure. The old Wembley pitch was also very slick at times, the ball could fly off it. Probably best to say they are wildly different sports with some similarities. Of course the training, fags and booze also in those days wouldn’t have helped my case😂
@@wolves201 I think so as well. I would have loved to see a select old style (proper) football team, trained as you say, play a team of glove wearing modern players, but……….playing to the old style game 😂😂 The rolling around from the ‘moderns’ -v- the shocked looks on the old style players faces at the modern reactions to ‘ hurty tackles’ would be hilarious 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Blimey, how many touches did Bobby Charlton have in this game!!! 500??
Absolute quality!
Johnny Haynes, one of the best footballers to ever wear an England shirt. Absolute class.

I remembered Dougan,Dobing and Douglas inside trio for Blackburn back in 1959 Saw them play Nottm Forest
Bobby Charlton ... my hero. R.I.P.
Nice to see the players not screaming at the officials or diving to the floor as though shot.

Charlton, R dominated this game.
Good to see Bryan Douglas lay on the chance for Bobby Charlton to score, An old hero of mine from Blackburn Rovers.

The great Spurs 'keeper Bill Brown in goal for Scotland.
have to wonder how well todays superstars would play with the gear and conditions back then
England without the Man U players Duncan Edwards, Tommy Taylor and Roger Byrne who died in the München accident the previous year.
Bobby Charlton attraversò ben tre decenni di Calcio!
Peter Broadbent - sheer quality!!
The only foreign players in the English league came frome Wales, Ireland and Scotland; not any more!
George Robledo played for Newcastle United in the 50s and he was from Chile.
there were a few from further away; Albert Louis Johanneson (who played for Leeds) was from South Africa
Some bloke who used to be a German paratrooper played for Man City
What happened to the Heavy Roller TH-cam channel? Was the best one out there!
And for those watching in black and white, Scotland are the team playing in blue shirts.

Look, players getting tackled and not going down just getting on with it. Remember this is England v Scotland.

It’s the quality of a league two game. I think maybe even a national League team would beat both of these all day long and twice on a Sunday 😂
A time when footballers were real men.
When was the last time Wolves had three England players?
Haynes looking good.
The highlights selected were evidently mainly of Charlton, and Haynes.
Peripheral vision wasn't a thing then. Nor finishing.
Lol the toepoker
And people claim the game is faster these days. Hmm...
Both the ball and the ground were heavier, so the movement of the ball is slower than today and much harder to control.
Where is Stanley Mathew’s?
@@johnmurray8454 He retired from national team before WC 1958
Where is Bobby moore 1:19
Bobby Moore didn't play this match. He made his England debut in 1962.
@@TimThorne-le7hk Probably in school in 1959
How skills have improved over the years. Man City would slaughter them.

I don't think so - they wouldn't be able to move the ball. Too heavy. And heavy boots too.
@@Daniel-deMerrivale yes no running home to muumy complaing they got tackled hard . lol
@@Daniel-deMerrivalePlayers back then with modern training methods, boots, pitches and ball would be a match for elite players today.
