How on earth did West Ham not win the old Division 1 title several times during the 1960's with the players it had? Moore, Hurst, Peters, Bonzo and Brooking - all world class players.
On song no one could touch them, but they were just so inconsistent . Teams could easily bully a playing side like West Ham back then and they lacked a hard man like Dave MacKay who cut the bullies down to size and freed the skilful players. If you could transport that side to today and add in all the modern coaching disciplines (another thing a bit lacking at times!) you'd have one hell of a side that would win titles
@@infrasleep ...but during the 1960's, West Ham did have some really tough players - Bonzo, John Bond and Eddie Bovington to name a few. That said, the style of play that WHU are famous for, although entertaining, did also allow the other side to play.
Amazing to see Billy Bonds and Trevor Brooking already in the side. 20 years later - 1988 - and Bonds was still in the West Ham side! Great servants to the club.
So nice to see players not falling to the floor as if they had been shot...also no statistics to tell us how many times Hurst passed the ball with his left foot in his own half..just great football
'Arry's goal was almost as good as Di Canio's against Wimbledon. The late 60's was when I started going to Upton Park. All that skill with heavy leather balls played on mud baths. Great days, great memories.
Never mind the fact that the ball got 10 times heavier when it got wet.Harry’s goal ? One of the best you’ll ever see on the half volley .👏👏👏. Class Always floats to the top. Lived on the Uxbridge road for a few years, watched a lot of QPR👏👍👍
My favourite era in football when it was still the peoples game and the players were much more modest than todays players and more like the fans, drank in the same pubs and travelled by train and lived in only slightly better houses than the average fan. Even world cup winners like Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters worked ordinary jobs after retiring from the game in insurance, some became London taxi drivers, as for Brian Moore he was brilliant both as a commentator and studio host a real gentleman, he makes Lineker look like an imbecile in comparison and would not be able to comprehend the ridiculous salary Lineker takes from the BBC now.
7 goals , and no silly dance routines , no one taking off there shirt , the scorer being mobbed by the entire team , just handshakes and pats on the back
In the 60s and 70s, Rangers and West Ham played some exhilarating games. After one game in the 70s, a 2-2 draw, Brian Moore said it should be shown to youngsters as an example of how the game should be played.
They were all Eastenders in those days probably mostly from Hackney, Canning Town, Bethnal Green etc. . If they made a bit of money they lived in Essex..
Div1 was quite open back then it showed here that on their day any team could beat anyone. ..eg FA Cup draws..if you were a top Div1 team and got drawn away to a third Div team .they wanted to turn you over!..now it's just about the money for the fixture no sense of wanting to win
Billy Bonds at right back with Redknapp outside him was a combination which on its day could tear apart any opposition. They were also great friends at the time: it's a pity that their friendship did not survive their experience of managing the club in the 90's.
Hi, I recently made a documentary using a small piece of footage from this video what would be the best way of contacting you directly? Looking forward to hearing from you.
I have a mental image of Harry beating 3 or 4 players in series on that right wing and then scoring, but I can't remember who against or when. But I was in the east stand so I'd bunked into a second half midweek match.

Best,Brooking,Byrne,Bovington,Bebbington,Burnett,Burkett,Brown,Byrne,(john)Bond , Brabrook Bonds and Boyce..lol
A strong drinking culture which existed at West Ham in the 1960s which gave rise to their slogan ″Win, Draw or Lose, we're on the booze

@@mickyboy223 True, and that continued for some time, although I would have thought that other clubs at the time also had similar problems.
if only all games were as entertaining as this one !

Trevor Brooking was Hurst and Moore teammate and played world cup in 1982!
799 appearances from Mr bonds!

Moore scores! Casually walks back to his position Lol How cool is this guy!!!
Moore turns around from scoring the pile driver like he just saw another bus go past. Get the feeling he could do that any time he wanted.
Totally. And it's so good NOT seeing them all do all these ludicrous over-the-top 'celebrations'.
What a great goal from "our Harry".

Great days, what a team, brings tears to the eyes.⚒

Brilliant game! How many goals did Moore make for Hurst with the classic quick free kick routine? Served England well in 66 I recall..!

How to celebrate a goal - with a smile and a handshake! Rare goals there from Bobby Moore and "Herry Radknapp" also!
Brian Moore's head looks uncannily like the London Planetarium.
That goal by our ' Arry was a bit of a rarity - he only scored a total of 3 that season, 2 in the league & 1 in the LC.
Great game that day great view from the shelf on the north bank 😍great memories 👍 COYI
Same here. 42000 capacity
What a winning goal by Harry !
Those were the days. Heroes, every one of them!
They were all Eastenders in those days probably mostly from Hackney, Canning Town, Bethnal Green etc. . If they made a bit of money they lived in Essex..
Imagine knee sliding goal celebrations in these matches.
QPR showing that defensive resilience for which the club is renowned.
great memories I was 15 then
West Ham Videos,
Great game-open attacking football from both sides!
This is e earliest clip of Brian Moore I’ve ever seen. Is this his first season on TV? I know he did radio prior.
Div1 was quite open back then it showed here that on their day any team could beat anyone. ..eg FA Cup draws..if you were a top Div1 team and got drawn away to a third Div team .they wanted to turn you over!..now it's just about the money for the fixture no sense of wanting to win
Pele, maradona,cruyff,beckenbaur, bobby moore. The definition of football.
Mmy favourite era for football 1964-1979. Never be as good again. That's my personal opinion anyway. If you were there you'd know.
Billy Bonds at right back with Redknapp outside him was a combination which on its day could tear apart any opposition. They were also great friends at the time: it's a pity that their friendship did not survive their experience of managing the club in the 90's.
Blame only one of the two men for that..
Good 👍👍
Great goal from Hairy Radknapp. 😂😂😂!!!
What a game
According to Brian Hairy Redknapp scored the last goal
Wonderful game... wished it was in colour.

It's criminal that side never won more.
I have a mental image of Harry beating 3 or 4 players in series on that right wing and then scoring, but I can't remember who against or when. But I was in the east stand so I'd bunked into a second half midweek match.
Was Brian Moore ever young ?…. Best commentator by far
I always thought Moore and Motson were pretty much equals.
This was football. Proper football.
0:35 Martin P reminds me a little of Declan Rice.
But much better !!!
great entertainment.
They didn't seem to want to celebrate too much
03_24 Comedy tumble worthy of Norman Wisdom.
No emotion from Bobby Moore after his goal despite it being as good as it was and the fact he didn’t score many.
None of the scorers seemed happy.
