Jimmy Hill was a very successful football player, manager, trade union leader, coach, director, tv executive, chairman, president, pundit, presenter, analyst and referee/official. This one man changed the face of modern football as we know it. He successfully campaigned for the player salary cap to be lifted which has shaped football across the planet today. He also suggested the 3 points for a win system to the FA (used to be 2pts for a win)which they took on board. His list of other changes and achievements in the game are too many to mention. How has this man not received a knighthood? Looks like he was not one of those Jimmys
Gary Owens - I completely agree with you. The proportion of time taken up by inane gassing and clichés compared with the play shown is now ridiculous; the play is also in parts speeded up to create even more time for gassing. No more slow mo replays, they're speeded up to make them look like Benny Hill. Waffle: "This is a game they wouldn't have wanted to lose" (what game does anybody want to lose unless Grobbelaar is involved?). "Football is a results driven business" (what occupation isn't results driven? Even burglary is results driven). I cannot stand that wooden sanctimonious jerk, Lineker; he sounds like a six year old reading from a beginner's story book and those contrived words and phrases that the BBC tell him to use get on my tits. "Alan, what price...", "he scored with consummate ease", "peeled off from the far post", "took his chance with aplomb".

The modern White Hart Lane is a superb stadium, the best in Britain in my opinion, but it still can't match the sight of the old White Hart Lane with packed terraces, like shown here. It's also nice to go back to the era when an FA Cup tie would see crowds rise compared to league games, rather than fall, as we see now.
Love watching these old episodes. Great presenters and great commentators with no need for inane punditry. Also an era when players were fouled and just got right back up and on with the game. Not a Spurs fan either, but Ossie Ardiles was a midfield maestro.
Atkinson considered signing him during 1985/86, but felt his injuries couldn't justify any outlay; especially as he was selling Alan Brazil for that very reason.
scherben I’m surprised he didn’t try and take Regis to United around this sort of time, he would have been a very good addition. Might have given us that extra quality up front we badly needed around the 82/83 season. We probably would have won the league in 83/84 if we had someone like him up front.
@@mrkipling2201 i've no idea why he didn't try and sign him, as at that time he tried to get Alan Brazil for the first time on the advice of Arnold Muhren.
scherben I would have taken Regis over Alan Brazil no problem. Even Alan Brazil before the injuries took their toll on him. Regis would have joined us I would have thought as well. Someone like that might have been the difference. A big strong striker with pace. We didn’t really have one of those type of player.
@@mrkipling2201 If you haven't read it already, then I can recommend _Que Sera, Sera_ by Wayne Barton. It's full of little nuggets of information, such as Jimmy Murphy recommending we sign Gary Lineker as a 16 year old in 1978. www.amazon.co.uk/Que-Sera-Manchester-United-Sexton/dp/1785316265/
I want to preface this, I love watching these. They are so incredible to me. English Football was not available to me until the 2000's and I watch these MOTD classics constantly. At 8:17 I noticed the young lads at the fence line after Spurs first goal. The look at their faces tells of a bit of fear as they're crushed in the standing only area. Shame no one recognized the dangers there.
These were special times in football, my dad took me to elland rd in 1978 against Arsenal and I’ve been hooked ever since, although I still go every week the atmosphere and the football were the best it’s ever been, just a shame my mother stopped me going as the violence got really bad, I had to take 2 years out and watched rugby league instead..As soon as I was 15 I was str8 back to football and Leeds as it’s my Religion....Loved 80s football, great channel this 👌❤️
these are great my life seems to be stuck here, i love watching with the proper old grounds and every one i visited.I refuse to watch any type of modern football with the stadiums not grounds and players on one million pounds for two months
Not a back pass in sight. no diving no one needing surgery on the pitch no play acting wasting minutes on the ground endless subs at the end of the game for no other reason but to waste time. I would say the modern player was was fitter on average but thats all.
Filbert Street. Everyone in that stadium was unaware that we were about to send a task force to deal with Galtieri a couple of months later. Jock Wallace Jr. Aged 46, looking like some East German politicians twice his age.
Mark Falco - so underrated - Garth Crooks was always recognised as a Tottenham legend and rightly so - but Mark Falco was one of the best natural goalscorers in the League - totally underrated and ignored by Ron Greenwood for getting deserved England caps.
Greetings from Dublin, Ireland. Yeh had to love the pitches back then. I mean, I've seen non league pitches today in better condition. These conditions though, really separated the men from the boys.
And about 20+ yrs later Peter Withe was in jakarta as manager of the Indonesian national team, he managed another national team in south east Asia, can’t remember if it was Thailand or Malaysia...
To be honest I think the expansion of (and the increased of importance in winning for clubs) the Europa League at the very least aided the decline of the FA Cup, because now you can qualify further in the Europa League (and get a LOT more money) by simply finishing 5-6th in the league than having to use valuable players to win a domestic cup (which back then would've probably gotten roughly the same amount of prize money) Plus this was also an era when the commercialisation of football was starting to grow, but was nowhere near at the level it is now, so games weren't moved to satisfy the Chinese viewership and the games were (probably) less tightly packed than they are now. I may be wrong though, these are just my thoughts
I don't watch MOTD anymore as it sadly has the dull host Lineker & crap pundits like shearer, Richards & Dublin. Seeing this video reminds me of better days when football was untainted by money & MOTD had better presenters who were not influenced by political issues & wokeness.
You're doing us all a great service by uploading these old episodes. Thank you and keep it coming!
There must be a whole pile of 1970s MOTD lying stored or wiped? I fear it is, if not get it out there!
loved the Bo Derek bit at the very end giving a hug and a kiss cross the Atlantic to Cyrille Regis ( RIP )

What an atmosphere those old, packed grounds create.
When you didn't have two pundits telling you what you've just seen with endless analysis that bore you too death

The FA cup was THE cup back then...as a young Liverpool fan it was all I wanted
You’re right. The FA Cup had more glamour than the league back then
And never as badly as you did in 1977. 😊
Goal of the season from cyrille Regis. Very underrated player. Definitely should have played more times for England I think.

Spurs were a great cup side in the 80s
8:16 - Slight prelude to Hillsborough there. I loved and really miss the old terracing, but those fences were outrageous.
A 'Hillsborough' was bound to happen... just saying....

Stephen tierney I think we will, it might just take a couple of months.
Soon my friend soon after June 17th keep the faith.
I was at the Albion game. Goal of the decade by Regis⚽
Legendary presenters Jimmy Hill and Bob Wilson always got to the point unlike Gary Lineker
Lineker is an absolute prick
I don't even know who the panelists are anymore, not a clue!
Footy Fact: John Motson has been commentating since 1896 and is 326 years old.
And Jimmy Rimmer was in goal for all those years
Best channel on UA-cam bar none 😉👍🇬🇧

Jock Wallace was the hardest football manager of all time.
Jim Mclean would give him rum now dont ask me that again

Back then when pretty much all games were Saturday 3pm kick off, now you got it at all bloody different times

Didn’t Leicester play Shrewsbury in the cup that season??
Yep, they beat them 5-2 in the quarter finals.
Yeah then we lost to Spurs in the semi at Villa Park. I was there and it broke my heart but yesterday finally made up for it 🦊👍
Ah the good old days when footballers and porn stars were indistinguishable
We used to have the great Jimmy Hill on Match of the Day...now we have Gary Lineker!
I prefer match of the day when Linekar was on the pitch, not presenting it.
Lineker! But yeah I agree, especially when he played for Leicester 🦊
