To show how success in football can often be by the width of a cigarette paper, is that in my opinion this win for Everton put them back on track after a heavy home defeat a week earlier by old rivals Liverpool. And went on to define their season. This game could have gone either way. I saw most of Everton's home games that season, and after beating Man City a week later they matched Leeds until late January then struck a winning run to clinch the title on the 1st April 1970. the league ended early to help England's world cup defence in Mexico. My mate was a Liverpool fan and I often saw them at home in the 60s 70s as lots fans did back then. This was a season that saw the end of Roger Hunt, Ian StJohn, Ron Yeats Geoff Strong, and Tommy Lawrence. Bill Shankly went right through the middle and signed brought in Ray Clemence, Larry Lloyd and John Toshack. This laid the foundation for their unprecedented success in the 70s and 80s. Everton faded after two bad cup defeats in 1971 and had years in the wilderness. Hard to believe all these great players were paid peanuts compared to the salaries in the late 1970s and 80s. Marvellous clip from yesteryear.
One edition Ive always been looking for is MOTD Sheff Wed v Chelsea 8th Nov 1969. Many thanks for all these but was just wondering about that one as it was the first football on TV I ever watched
Love the opening titles - as a baggies fan noticed Jim Cumbes and John Kaye. Remember being allowed to stay up on a Saturday might to watch Match of The Day, Remember the old title tune, but with the rattle going round.
Bobby at his Best. I missed this game because of the flu but listened to 2nd half commentary on the wireless. Bill Shankly was putting together a formidable team that would go on to dominate England and Europe in the next decade. We were on the slide but still capable of putting in a good effort like this one. Fond memories of this tie in our history, the bad and the good.
I would say Bob Paisley put the team together. Shanks was the motivator & conductor. Paisley was the tactical thinker & the builder of their teams & the Boot Room was their Pentagon. When Shankly retired Paisley took over with barely a ripple. Paisley chose the players & Shanks gave the ok. Shankly was a man of words & Paisley of just a few. Shankly was the showman & Paisley the know-man.
We had a song for Roger Hunt at United and when we sang it, he always laughed. It wasn't always the blind hatred that came later. Mancs and Scousers are very much alike, though few would admit it I suppose.
Yup, he did, 2yrs later FA Cup final Hall Lawler Hughes Callaghan Smith remained, but I'd say Paisley rebuilt the new team. Shanks was the beating heart but Paisley was the thinking brain. Man U done the opposite & didn't rebuild, Charlton Law & Best were the team, the rest were the support players
@ 48-10...that was a badly misjudged pass by Bobby Moore to cost his team a defeat. He was good for a serious blunder in many of his games during this era. After his great 1966 WC triumph, he seemed to be somewhat erratic, prone to errors,
To...YOFC...can you upload MOTD from 28/3/70, I'm interested in Blackpool v Aston Villa, if it's available please? Villa took a huge following there, they had the whole length of the far side terrace opposite the cameras. A crucial match in our vain attempt to beat the drop.

I was 9 years old, and I remember this, and of course that iconic match of the day original theme tune, very emotional and nostalgic😢
The first season MOTD showed highlights from two games but the only season where the second match was a game in the local region.
Strange to see United fans behind the goal just mixed in rather than a segregated end. Brilliant result for United ,thanks for uploading.

Great goal by Hughes @ 11:33 showing his work rate, enthusiasm and reading of the game.

The Guardian's match report mentions the flu going around

Bob Wilson. “Its amazing, even the date was the same. I broke the arm on 13th September and returned on the 13th of December”😂👍🏼
Nostalgiahh ⚽🔥✌
George Best does an amazing goal attempt & the whole Anfield crowd applauded, that's the Liverpool fans for you, probably changed now.

Wow this is a great upload m8 best one yet and within a matter of weeks after that result Shankly dismantled that Liverpool side

God rest his soul. A great man was Bill Shankly, and not only for his football acumen.
