I like this idea, but I think that the 1930s lost so badly because you are using modern techniques designed for the modern kit, whereas back in the 1930s they would have different types of shooting and skills easier to do with their kit.
Would be interesting to test out the gear players in the 60s/70s would wear like Pele, Beckenbauer, or Cruyff. Or the baggy kits of the 90s/early 2000s!
I've still got a 90s Borussia Dortmund jersey here and used to have the matching shorts. Not as breathable as we're used to now, but due to the loose fit you don't really notice. Shouldn't be much of a difference
@@ElDiosDelBajo i got a 80's Brazil kit from my gramps not sure if it's real or fake, i still use it for futsal activities, it probably has a long journey, produced in probably 1983 until 2023 and of course had to be a number 10 Pele
As a football player, I’ve always been interested in the olden days of the sport. This video has been so interesting and it’s one of my favourite videos of yours. Thanks mate!
Don't know if any of you have ever kicked an old leather ball around, but those things are *HEAVY* Kieran isn't overselling it, especially in wet weather the ball gets about 2/3 times its original weight, I'm not a great footballer, but I normally can put my foot through a ball well, I genuinely struggled to get the leather ball further than about 35/40 yards regularly once the rain got heavy and it didn't exactly feel nice either
Imagine a movie where the main character is an underrated football player (not popular but has talent) from the present that travels back in time somehow and ends up in the 1930’s. He impresses everyone with his skills and tricks, while trying to get used to the equipment being so different. He helps a certain team win a very important tournament of some kind, and learns a life lesson on the way. What should be the title?
People highly underestimate the skills of old timy footballers, just watch Pelé play and tell me he wouldn't be one of most impressive footballers in modern time.
Except you'd be murdered on the pitch. Football in those days and even decades later was very rough, as hard tackles that would cause yellows today would often not even qualify as a foul and you probably needed to get shot to get a penalty. Fights on the pitch were also not rare, football was still close to rugby. It took a lot of effort to change this, as it was very damaging to players physical health.
@@CroGamer002 yellow wasn't even used in the world cup until 1970 and those tackles while slightly softer were still around until the 90s so I think it's is still possible but yeah
That weight difference is dry too - the early leather footballs would soak up a lot of water in the rain and the kit would retain sweat too. Heading an old football felt like headbutting a hippo!
Can’t help but wonder what part familiarity plays in this. You’re stepping back in time expecting it to suck, but if you were from 1930 and normally walked everywhere in more or less a full suit, the athletic wear of the day probably felt comparatively freeing. That’s not to say new wouldn’t still defeat old, but you’re probably not appreciating the old stuff for what it is, as much as you’re annoyed at it for what it isn’t. Has to SLIGHTLY corrupt the test a little bit surely. Of course we can’t, but what would be REALLY interesting would be to bring a great player from the 1930s to now and give them the modern kit and see how they took to it (No hate on the video though! To even be able to source all the old stuff is impressive to me lol! It’s just any kind of experiment like this is always gonna make me think of all the ‘what ifs’)
Quite a lot, I would imagine. A 1930s player making the comparison would do it on different criteria with a result that the old gear wins, except the pitch where I'm sure he'd prefer the new one. In particular I am sure that the old leather boots would be pretty comfortable once worn in and that the 1930s player would judge the new ones as providing insufficient protection.
@@slaqualquercoisamemo5117 Nah nah nahhh... Mbappe, Zidane, Ronaldo, Giroud, Kane, Beckham are strong men. Remember that legendary headbutt from Zidane, how he knocked down a 6'4 Spanish trash talker?
@@Gymrat83363 bro do your research on the South American leagues they were great before and he played over 140 games vs European clubs and scored over 150 goals so shut up
With the change in skill level and equipment, does it make sense for the penalty mark to still be the same distance from goal as when it was introduced?
This is why for me, “GOAT” debate is irrelevant . Every era is different. Different technology, fitness,diet, pitch,rules,opportunities etc. “one of the greatest “ is more fair title.
@@xRyqn True, but the truly great players would be great in any era. Those old time great - with access to the training, diets, equipment, etc, of modern players would be great today. The great players of today, would be great 50-100+ years ago. That's why it's foolish to talk about the GOAT. Pele played in a completely different era and conditions than a Messi. Both GREAT players. They would adapt to changes.
Those guys in the 1930s had it much harder than nowadays it makes me think how much harder they had to play!😯 my props to those guys. also thanks for this vid Kieran!
In Brazil a lot of our pitches look a lot like the 1930s pitch and we still have good football ^^ It's not really about the pitch, but about the mentality: the same way you guys play basketball anywhere, people from other countries play football anywhere, with anything.
This video puts the “Miracle of Berne” game in perspective. Even though it was the early 50s, it illustrates exactly why the West German team was willing to experiment with spiked soles and be allegedly drugged. The Hungarians must have been made and forged out of iron to have the magical stamina and accuracy that they had. The game was also played in the rain, which really added to the game psychologically and physically.
I’m not even that interested in football, but somehow I watch every one of your videos and enjoy them greatly. Thanks for the creative content and keep it up mate. Greetings from Dresden
The thing is Pele didn’t use 1930s equipment. He used 1960s equipment. It was so much better, the boots weren’t bad, and the fields were almost modern like.
hey kieran i love your vids keep up the good work👍. Maybe its just a idea i saw carbon fiber insoles that supposed to make you more explosive and faster and carbon fiber shin pads that are really light and suppossed to be real comfy maybe its a idea to make a vid about them.
In 0:47 what you call "pretty interesting looking things" I guess, we call in Brazil "Luva de Pedreiro", which now you might get confuse with that guy from Instagram, but is not. In portuguese we have two ways of saying the word "constuctor", construtor or pedreiro, and the constructors use this gloves (luva) to build anything they wanna build. Now, when it comes that guy from Instagram, in the beginning of his videos, he'd always use a constructor glove (don't ask me why), and that is why the name Luva de Pedreiro. So next time you come across to one of these you can call constructor gloves.
The boots and ball would be heavier as they used to cover them in dubbin to try keep the water out. The ball became very heavy in the rain. Plus the lace on the ball was dangerous if headed.
Unfortunately without a time machine we can't reverse the test and put Matthew's or a contemporary into modern gear. I'm sure the results would suprise us. It is more a reflection of our ability to adapt to the equipment and conditions. After all most of us grew up playing on pitches like this with less than ideal clothing. Interesting comparison none the less.
Yeah, a modern player doing this is always going to be noticing what they lose as they step back in time, rather than starting out appreciating the 1930s gear for what it is, and then getting to step forward in time and appreciate the new gear for its improvements rather than as the default
One other thing about the 1930's ball - if it was raining on the pitch, the wet ball would get heavier and heavier. Some players compared heading a soaked ball to heading a brick. I have heard of some English footballers who headed a lot winding up with dementia, sort of like what happens to American football players.
Not a real comparison until you head a soaking wet old leather ball on a freezing January like we did at school. Second thought forget that test it would be like Tyson Fury hitting Wilder. Nice entertaining video as normal.
Leather boots like that need a long break in period and should have bigger (thicker) socks worn in them. BIG difference in comfort and performance if you use them right. Plus you have to lace them up properly not floppy loose. Not to mention they would probably have been made custom for your foot by a professional cobbler so the fit would be something else. Maybe you could do a colab with a shoe making channel, now there is a cross over for the ages!
‘Goalkeeper gloves were first used in the year 1945, as the pioneer of this historic event is widely acclaimed to be the former Argentinian goalkeeper - Amadeo Carrizo’
Hubert Birkenmeier owns a sporting goods store near where I live. He was a professional GK in Germany from 1970-1979, before signing with the New York Cosmos, spending the rest of his career in the US, before retiring in 1990. Been in his store many times buying equipment for my kids. As my daughter also played Goalie in high school, Birkenmeier would give her tips on playing goalie - even practicing inside the store. Key point here - Birkenmeier showed us the goalie gloves he used during his playing days. Perhaps because they were old and game used, they looked more like gardening gloves than Kieran's "1930's" gloves. Googling the history of Goalie gloves "The use of goalie gloves became more common in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but many goalkeepers still only wore them in wet conditions. Furthermore, the lack of specialized goalie glove manufacturers meant that some of the era’s best goalies were still playing in gardening gloves" As mentioned, Birkenmeier's gloves looked essentially like gardening gloves! Even English great, Gordon Banks, didn't start wearing gloves until the 1970 World Cup - meaning when England won the Cup in 1966 - Banks played barehanded. Stanno, Reusch, Uhlsport and Sondico were the early manufacturers of Goalie gloves, and those companies started making and marking goalie gloves during the 1970's. So Kieran, you should have tried to stop those shots barehanded!
@@billsager5634Minor note, Banks wore gloves in the 66 final. Though they are essentially common woollen gloves. 1970 saw the first real use of manufactured gloves as are common today.
@@1bert719 Interesting. Looking at footage of the 1966 World Cup, it appears Banks played some games bare handed, and some games with "gloves". As the footage is black & white, Banks wore dark colored gloves - which, as you stated, looked like common woolen gloves.
@@billsager5634 In colour photos they appear green, I believe he referenced wearing them in his autobiography (though I don't have it too hand. I'm sure he wore them due to the conditions and felt he'd gain an advantage.) They tended to go bare handed when it was wet for better grip and Bob Wilson would use chewing gum on his hands.
It just shows how much skill 1930s players had, doing it with the old equipment....Respect..Also I think he should have done a trial with new equipment in the bad pitch and vice-versa
Last time I played, back in 2017, i tried using a pair of boots from the late 90s I still had in my storage. It is not only heavier, it is impressively innaccurate as well.
I remember reading an article by an old footballer who said the old leather ball had laces and you couldn't cross the ball with the laces parallel to the ground because when your teammate headed it the laces were liable to cut his forehead.
Me di cuenta de varias cosas , 1- no se quiso aventar cuando estaba haciendo la prueba de portero en el llano, cosa que si hizo en la prueba actual, 2- los test de velocidad si bien se hicieron en un campo "similar " debieron haber echo los 2 test en ambas canchas ,3
Great vids Kieran, I get so excited to watch your new content when it comes out. Thanks for all your hard work and congrats on 2 million subs! You really deserve it 😉
As a young football player I think I would watch you for a long time, I mean you’re literally the only football vlogger that I can find❤❤❤💙💙 Also you’re really scaring me right now because you haven’t uploaded in A little bit over a month lol😂😅😅❤❤❤
Some of the balls from the 2000's onwards are unplayable for goalkeeepers. Because I still used the mitts, I probably won't be as affected. If I tried it with a current futsal or indoor soccer, I'd have no chance against power strikers
I think a better test would have been to use the same pitch for the test. Football clubs in the 1930s had ground staff to maintain their pitches and keep the grass short. Highbury for example would have looked nothing like that pitch.
"Modern" kicking technique is completely inadequate for old balls, even for the ones used in the 90s. We don't see true instep drives anymore nowadays, because modern balls don't need that kind of "violence" to get energy from the kick. Also the the posture of the player after the kick has completely changed. But with the old gear that was the only way.
Imagine the old legends playing with todays modern kits. they were already that great back then with these uncomfortable things plus you also have to look at medical, food and training plus the ground. those players would toy most of the player from today
I like this idea, but I think that the 1930s lost so badly because you are using modern techniques designed for the modern kit, whereas back in the 1930s they would have different types of shooting and skills easier to do with their kit.

Great vids Kieran, I get so excited to watch your new content when it comes out. Thanks for all your hard work and congrats on 2 million subs! You really deserve it 😉
more interesting to compare 90s to today.. because i want to know have kits actually improved in the 30 years. or they all just advertising
As a young football player I think I would watch you for a long time, I mean you’re literally the only football vlogger that I can find❤❤❤💙💙
Also you’re really scaring me right now because you haven’t uploaded in A little bit over a month lol😂😅😅❤❤❤
Some of the balls from the 2000's onwards are unplayable for goalkeeepers. Because I still used the mitts, I probably won't be as affected. If I tried it with a current futsal or indoor soccer, I'd have no chance against power strikers
The blue box stopping challenge was tied the second one on 2022 was out
Congrats on 2million kieran
Amazing video
Kieran
probably standing twice as far away from the goal in the 1930s gear made it more difficult to score.
I think that it is difficult and it looks very uncomfortable, but I feel that if you get used to it, it may be very easy to use that equipment.
the fact yashin could play on a pitch like that is mad
This vid was a banger keep It up Kieran
what a legend, i always wondered what it would be like back then
Kieran literally plays like old players with the old gear 😂
Bro 69 😂😂😂😂😂 funny number. Also use the side of your foot
A Kieran video a day keeps me entertained
Great vid as usual mate , planning to come to India any time ?
I think a better test would have been to use the same pitch for the test.
Football clubs in the 1930s had ground staff to maintain their pitches and keep the grass short. Highbury for example would have looked nothing like that pitch.
Love your vids!
4:50 I still wear those indoors when my first pair of junior gloves (due to my small hands) weren't in stock.
CONGRATS ON 2 MILLION
I think you should also have on the 1930's pitch the striker in the gear too rather than modern day things
we love it the yashin hat
Congrats on 2 mill
Look at them beasts in the back ground💪🏼💪🏼
Great vid bro . Although to be more scientific you should put them under the same conditions ( the pitch)
Finally 2 mil!! CONGRATS!!
"I can't pick a fault in it." - still gives the modern kit 9/10...
"Modern" kicking technique is completely inadequate for old balls, even for the ones used in the 90s. We don't see true instep drives anymore nowadays, because modern balls don't need that kind of "violence" to get energy from the kick. Also the the posture of the player after the kick has completely changed. But with the old gear that was the only way.
Imagine the old legends playing with todays modern kits. they were already that great back then with these uncomfortable things plus you also have to look at medical, food and training plus the ground. those players would toy most of the player from today
Kieran is like our dad. He comes and goes.
It would be interesting a video of "I tried playing football as poor" with a teared ball, no shoes, no gloves and the pitch being asphalt
Kieran is like our dad, he comes and goes.
1930s cleats look like the Balenciaga shoes he reviewed in the other video. Coincidence I guess XD
Wow such a big difference.
Also love your content.
