I was there at the Clock End, I was 19 years old and had been a Gooner for 6 years. Highbury was a fantastic stadium a real piece of art, I'm so glad the structure was kept as part of the new construction.
Jimmy Rimmer and Brian Kidd were both at Wembley for the European Cup final in '68. Rimmer was the GK for Villa 14 years later when they got to the European cup final (though injured early on and replaced by a young Nigel Spink, who played a blinder). That made Rimmer only the second player to win 2 EC Winners medals with different clubs (Saul Malatrasi being the first with both Inter and AC Milan).
Great episode! That discussion about those fouls when a player was through on goal. Today, we don’t even question that they would rightly be an instant red card.
Liam Brady, what a fantastic playmaker for the Gunners. Brady had made for Arsenal 225 appearances, and he scored in a total of 43 goals. FA cup and FOTY winner 78-79 Brady played for the Gunners 73-80. Brady is an Irish man who has 76 caps for his country.
I'm 54 years old. All I have to say is 'that theme tune, man'. Me and my older brother would be straight out in the garden afterwards. He's 60 next month (happy birthday, Terry). Where did the time go?
Such a brilliant Stoke City squad during that era. If only the Butler Street stand roof hadn't blown off, leading to players being sold off to cover the repair costs, who knows what that "Potters" team may have achieved.
That was normal come the winter & football played over the autumn & winter months & we thought nothing of it, you got great skill & drama a plenty, now it's more like a video game & it could be any month. In the 1990s pitches improved a lot but still grassy turf with a bit of wear & tear unlike now, it's just a sterile playing surface & too easy to kick that ball around, I know which I prefer.
Great theme tune and great programme.

Two of the highest pitched voices you could have chosen as pundits Ball & Hughes …a bit of WD40 needed possibly

Those kits are absolute classics. Aw Arsenal fan that kit is all time classic. Even Liverpool kit is nice. Highbury Stadium so missed

Liam Brady, just a kid, head and shoulders above the other 21 players. Even in the mud bath.
That Highbury pitch blimey.Liverpool had a great team out that day
The state pf that Highbury pitch.. Good grief.
Love the matches proper football
I miss 70s and 80s kits.
They were classics

When a presenter only needed a table & a chair & the odd guest, unlike now with a large studio costing a fortune in electricity & harming the planet.
What great memories watching this with my dad when i was 8 RIP dad sorry i spent all your hard earned money on Panini stickers!!
@ 39-55...that's a young Tony Morley, went on to great fame at Aston Villa.
Brian Moore saying that Southend in the all dark strip... for those who had black and white TV
Great to see Liverpool get stuffed and then back home to watch episode 2 of The Ark In Space. I'd call that a good Saturday.
Good job there was plenty of sand in those days, the Arsenal pitch looks in a terrible state, but not as Derby's notorious Baseball Ground.
