Really enjoyed this episode. Top class action.. Cooper, Giles, Clarke, Madely, Brooking, Hurst. A bust-up with Big Jack. And wasn't Ian Storey Moore a class act ? Super commentary by Moore and Hugh Johns. And evocative analysis by Jimmy Hill (and Big Jack). I could watch the 70-71 season Big Match all day long. More please.
I came through those football times and forgot just how fast the games were then. Just one substitute and yet so few injuries. Players just played through their knocks, unlike today. These memories are YT at its best. Many thanks.
For those wondering about the Blackpool incident, Moore and Greaves had been on a bender before a League Cup match. Many suspensions followed and many argue that Moore was never the same player
FA Cup match, actually, and it involved Brian Dear and Clyde Best as well. I think the four thought the game was going to be called off due to icy conditions, so they went out. But it went ahead. WHU lost 4-0 and looked terrible. Ron Greenwood was going to sack them all,, but was persuaded to suspend and fine them two weeks wages, though Brian Dear and Jimmy Greaves didn't play many more games for the Irons. Bobby did stay until '74 but the relationship with Ron wasn't the same as before. Clyde Best stayed longer till '75.
Ipswich fan here…brought back a few memories. Geoff Hammond was one of the worst players we ever had and Mick Hill was better known for his shagging than football prowess. Always great to see Colin Viljoen
They went on strike against colour telly? Probably the cost of one at nigh on £300 or a new car. We got neither. 1971 98% population couldn't afford a colour TV, in fact most of us rented them as repairs cost a lot with new valves. I miss the cathode tube, it became a family member.
Pure nostalgia.Wonderful footage of great players of a bygone age.Brian Moore Hugh John's even the chin himself wonderful upload.🐒🐻🤗👍
What a great place Upton Park was back then.

Brain Moore. One of the best!

Unusual camera angle at Portman Road, the North Stand is to the right and Churchmans to the left

HAPPY DAYS!
Black and White owing to the 1971 Colour strike. I seem to remember.

Correct
@@seltaeb3302 It was a long strike I seem to to remember. 6 months?
think that's correct, sometimes studio lighting was dimmed instead, even the TV Times was quite often printed in B/w for the same reason
Something to do with the colour equipment being more complex to operate.
Good old BrIan RIP. A true Hammers supporter through and through.
He supported Gillingham
Don't understand TH-camrs & this constant RIPing everyone who've been dead for decades. It just becomes ridiculous.
I noticed Terry Hennessey straightaway and my mind went back to collecting football cards, when I was 9 or 10, and his bald head was very noticeable 😄
Peter Grotier a good keeper who went on to Lincoln
Super Leeds. Best team there has ever been.
Second to Celtic
Norman scores a screamer with his right peg...
Eustace fouled Jack Charlton?????? I don't think so
Mighty Leeds United
Giles Brooking best two players on display Harry redknapp was pure crap as usual
Amateur presenting back then telling you whi won beforehand lol
