What a fantastic game, a real blood & thunder cup tie. You don't see games like that anymore, a classic. I remember watching it on TV and although my team lost it was a game to remember. I just remember the excitement, the crowd going crazy and two teams giving their all in an end to end cup tie. If you have to get knocked out of the cup, you may as well go in a game like that!
Was there in the Trent End.. Great atmosphere with great support from Forest and Everton fans. Nearly did the double that year. Who knows might have done it if the late great Joe Baker hadn’t been taken off injured in the first half of this game after a bad tackle by Brian Labone, not shown in this clip. Was out for the rest of the season.
Interesting to see the kernel of the great Everton team that won the league in 1970 and Sandy Brown playing in the forward line and setting up Husband's second goal.
Thanks for posting this fantastic cup tie . Its great that matches long forgotten get on youtube . not just for remembering great matches but the unsung players of yesteryear .We all remember the famous names but they wouldent have become famous without their hard working team mates. Thanks to youtube and to the people who upload these great memories we have the chance to relive some great times . This match was one of the best games of the sixties , and on a pitch they wouldent play sunday league on these days . thank you for this great video .
This game's not 'long forgotten' here in Nottingham. It's gone down as one of the greatest in Forest's history. People often talk about the Clough glory years but not many outside the city remember that the '67 team finished league runners-up and FA cup semi-finalists. Legends.
what i meant Steve when i said long forgotten was probably forgotten by the non forest or everton fans who watched this incredibe cup tie on tv . i myself remember my teams best wins from way back . just like all fans who only remember their own teams memorabe matches. no disregard intended. from one footy fan to another . those were great days mate.
I agree. I have always said that this was the most exciting football match I have ever seen. If Joe Baker hadn't been injured Forest would have either won the league championship or FA cup. Maybe both. Happy days!
When I was a boy, I got a football annual for Christmas. In it was an chapter by Ian storey Moore in which he described his 3rd goal against Everton. I read it over and over again as a boy. This is the first time I’ve seen this. His version of it sounded much better than reality
Just found this - thanks for posting. The match was actually played though on the 8th April as per the film and not the 6th but I am not complaining - just glad someone was able to get the original highlights onto youtube. This was THE most exciting match I have ever been to or seen on TV. Pity Everton's centre-half Labone went out purposely to put Joe Baker out of the game early on. Some years later I read that Harry Catterick the Everton manager told his players they must stop Joe Baker if they were to have any chance. Joe was out for the rest of the season robbing Forest of probably a FA Cup and league double.
Soft spot for Forest as I’ve always loved the name when I was a kid in the 60’s. But big Brian Labone was a gentleman footballer & if he damaged your player it’d be down to that bog of a pitch sorry. shame about Joe Baker. Those days we all had a chance of winning the league, before money & seating ruined the workers game.
I wasn't there, but someone whose dad had a cine player bought the MOTD film of the game from the BBC (we all clubbed in), and we watched it several times. It was fun to play it backwards and watch the ball boom down the pitch to be trapped perfectly by the keeper who then flipped it into his hands. Great game and a hat-trick for Ian Storey-Moore. I did see him score one of the greatest ever goals, against Arsenal in the league (later pretty much replicated by Giggs v Arsenal in the cup).
Joe Baker, sorry, mate, the comment about Labone is inaccurate and disingenuous in the extreme. Labone was only ever booked twice in his entire career and was known as a true gentleman both on and off the field. He never attempted to put any player out of the game. You're right though about it being a great game, even as a disappointed Blue I could appreciate the quality and excitement of the match. Incidentally, on the same day Foinavon won the Grand National at 100/1 and Sandy Shaw won the Eurovision Song Contest with "Puppet On A String".....
Fantastic game. Everton, the holders, against Forest who were fighting for both the title and the cup. I think Forest lost to Spurs in the semi-final that year and were pipped by United for the title. Ian Storey-Moore was some player for both Forest and United. Shame injury finished his career.
I remember this game. I had a bad feeling about it and decided not to go even though my best mate was pleading with me to attend. I was right about the result.
As a Forest fan you can imagine this is great to watch again. Terry Hennesey, Ian Storey-Moore, Peter Wingfield wasn't it? Hinkley... the names gradually come back :-)
Foinavan won the Grand National the day this great cup tie took place. I recall the score changes in the second half coming on BBC Grandstand. I watched most Everton home games and a few away in the 1960s. This Forest team could easily won the cup and league double that year. They had a well balanced team and good goal scorers. Everton played their part in this game, but Andy Rankin was poor in goal gifting forest two goals. He had a similarly poor display 4 years later in the 1971 semi final against Liverpool. Manager Catterick regularly dropped Gordon West for Rankin and lost key games with him in goal. It was always a mystery how a player as good as Alan Hinton evaded the big clubs in the late 60s early 70s his pinpoint crosses created many goals for Derby county in their hey day.
Everyone thought Hinton shirked the rougher side of the game - "where's your handbag, Gladys?" - that sort of thing. Clough didn't mind and bought him.
50 odd years on & I’m still gutted ! Rather go out like that than meekly surrender to billionaire oil City. The soul of the working class game, supporters & players has been replaced by corporate juggernauts & mercenaries.
Everton were the city of the 60s😂😂. Game will never hany true parity until powers that be bring in measures to even playing field City not first and won't be last to use wealth to get ahead
A proper game played in mud and individual skill instead of todays 'No dribbling you have to pass it 30 times before shooting' rubbish. Tackling as well unlike the players who now dive over an opponent's leg and trybto 'win' penalties.

Great match, got to be one of the best FA Cup ties ever
When it really meant something to get to the FA CUp Final....great days.
Interesting to see the kernel of the great Everton team that won the league in 1970 and Sandy Brown playing in the forward line and setting up Husband's second goal.
Four years before I was born but what a game and what a team-so close that season
What a fantastic game this was remember standing in the bridgford end with my late dad bless him no namby pandy players here such happy days 💪

I missed the game cos I was playing. When I met Ian Storey-Moore many years later I apologised for missing it. His reply? "You didn't miss much".
I agree. I have always said that this was the most exciting football match I have ever seen. If Joe Baker hadn't been injured Forest would have either won the league championship or FA cup. Maybe both. Happy days!
John Wilford Jw i can remember my grandad going to this game and he said exactly the same thing
Baker got taken out cynically by Labone.
Bring back those great days

The most exciting match I have ever been to
My Dad was there - we were just chatting about our favourite games and this is his!!
Remember me dad saying the crowd sang " don't score anymore storey Moore "
Andy Rankin( great name) had much longer hair than George Best at the time.But the longest hair in football spring '67 was Birmingham's Trevor Hockey
What a game, what a atmosphere
There really is something special about hearing the typically cool and understated Kenneth Wolstenholme absolutely losing it at 3:20.
I remember this it was fantastic,
If I could go back in time and go to one Forest game, this is the one I would choose.

Joe Baker.: I remember seeing Joe play for Forest and Burnley [I'm a Claret] and I just googled him. What a goal scorer.

Ian Storey Moore - Forest's best ever player IMO. Fantastic QF.
One of United's best players, briefly. 😥
Yes, indeed. I remember it well. 😄
@@johnguthrie7141 and one of Derby's too. lol

Yes, this particular match has been rated as the best ever cup match. The crowd looks off its tits

John Winfield.
Peter Hindley,known as the tank
@@staceygrove5976 Didn't Winfield go on to run a newsagents after retiring?
@@geoffn54 Yes,in Victoria Centre opposite John Lewis.
And they say footy back then was one dimensional hoof ball😂😂
Had it all this game on a very difficult pitch to play on
Foinavan won the Grand National the day this great cup tie took place.
I recall the score changes in the second half coming on BBC Grandstand.
I watched most Everton home games and a few away in the 1960s.
This Forest team could easily won the cup and league double that year.

Great Game
Golden vision not able to influence this.
Baker was never the same player again.
50 odd years on & I’m still gutted ! Rather go out like that than meekly surrender to billionaire oil City. The soul of the working class game, supporters & players has been replaced by corporate juggernauts & mercenaries.
Everton were the city of the 60s😂😂. Game will never hany true parity until powers that be bring in measures to even playing field
City not first and won't be last to use wealth to get ahead
A proper game played in mud and individual skill instead of todays 'No dribbling you have to pass it 30 times before shooting' rubbish. Tackling as well unlike the players who now dive over an opponent's leg and trybto 'win' penalties.
