Wonderful Joe Mercer - what a Gentleman. It's arguable whether England would have been more successful if he'd stayed as manager - but they would have been a damn sight better to watch!
Yes, another fantastic commentator, alongside Kenneth Wolstenholme and my favourite, Brian Moore. Modern day commentators are so nauseous and the woke, pc decision to have female commentators is beyond a joke.
He outlined a possible framework!!...Keegan/Channon/Worthington pulling defences apart, Bell and Brooking prompting, Watson and Todd supplying the rearguard (would have been Roy McFarland if he had not been injured around this time..
I totally agree, simple white kit is best, all that red & blue stripes added over the years is bloody awful, 1990-92, 92-93, 2009-10 are the only decent kits England have had in the past 45 years.

Definitely more of a gentleman than Alf Ramsey ❤ who to be honest sounds like Chris Eubanks haha
Wow. Sir Alf Ramsey and Brian Clough side by side in the studio.h
You could feel the tension
that fucking second yugoslavia goal was excellent!!!
Back when England had passionated commentators, not the generic ones you have today
Hugh Johns commentating?

Was this the last time England wore the Umbro kit before the Admiral kits were adopted ?
Yes, then that hideous Admiral kit, introduced by Don Revie was brought in. He was a disaster for England in every way.
It was a great shame that Joe Mercer did not become full time England instead of Don Revie. England would have gone places with Joe Mercer

They would have qualified for the ‘78 World Cup
Cloughie being a bit contrary there...
Great speech by Joe Mercer
Yeah a great patriot, lovely guy.
It was. Brilliant.
Bogicevic...what a great bloody presence of a player.
joe mercer [ great man
Oblak super goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And back then they played with a football, not volleyball.
Some goal!
HOW BRAVE WAS KEEGAN TO SCORE THAT[ HUGH JOHNS SEEMED MORE EXCITED WHEN YOUGOSLAVIA SCORED
He's Welsh. Why should he be excited when England score?
Joe mercer was better than Malcolm Allison
Yugoslavia’s goals were better, thus requiring any unbiased announcer to react accordingly. That’s how it should be
Was this game originally planned as a pre World Cup friendly game
Joe should have stayed on, he could not have done worst that's for sure.
RIP Ilija Petković
ENGLANDS MOST UNDERATED PLAYER OF ALL TIME COLIN BELL, BETTER THAN BALL .PETERS PUT TOGETHER
Yeah for Colin Bell was brilliant, Ball and Peters were Ramsays's favourites
The FA made a massive mistake sacking Sir Alf, the Revie era was a disaster.
And the great Hugh Johns of course!
england played great that night i remember[ of course media don,t mentio it
england played great
Wish England had kept that kit.....
Your joking aren't you? Admiral did a mighty fine job replacing that dated relic.
That kit had class, quality and HISTORY. The modern kits are far too gimmicky and flashy to be taken seriously
I totally agree, simple white kit is best, all that red & blue stripes added over the years is bloody awful, 1990-92, 92-93, 2009-10 are the only decent kits England have had in the past 45 years.
Absolutely, see my previous post. This was the best England kit ever, alongside the famous red away, 1966 World Cup winning kit.
Great Yugoslav side....dispenced the invincible myth of the Brazilians in 74....
Bullshit
In your dreams, euro boy..lol
They had a very good EURO 76 as well!
Oblak!
That Manchester City stiff Colin Bell gave the ball away for the first Yugoslavia goal.
MCFC embarrassing English football since the 60s
