@@forgive7449 True that it was played alongside the other Saturday games, it wasn't shown on live TV and moved to a Sunday until 1984. But the final was seen as a big occasion all the same, unlike nowadays.
@@forgive7449 It obviously meant a lot to Emlyn Hughes and George Berry, if I am not mistaken that was officially the first interracial love scene recorded live on British TV! LOL
Nottingham push, but Wolves get the match. Great match and quality football. I remember my 15 years old with Francis and Robertson in Barcelona. Great players. Salutes from Spain.
Arrived at Wembley on Mel's Barton Coach full of West Brigdfords lads aged 15 some were a little older with out Match Tickets, watched most on the game on a tv monitor outside Wembley. Got into Wembley for properly the last 10 minute's and was totally amazed how big the ground was, Forest fans were fighting in the car park after the game. My last visit to Wembley was against Huddersfield Town with a match ticket and the rest is history. COYR.
Both strips were fantastic and remained so until the late '80's when signs were there but not realised until the early mid 90's when all shirts became truly horrific - mainly due to the baggy 'fit'.
As Ian sludge Lee's the comedian said after the game.Brian Clough said could we install bells in the ball as shilton and Needham can hear we're it is .😅😅😅. Great day right behind the goal as Andy gray tapped it in.
this cup meant something back then not like today where clubs have disrespected our domestic cups managers put out a 2nd string team but if they get to the semi-final that 2nd string is dropped and the full strength side is picked clubs who do this should be fined by the FA and by the sponsors of the competition then may-be they may take them seriously.
Lovely to remember that team in their proper colours,,I don't know why they've drifted away from the traditional gold n black,,any colour but gold n black,not good,😊
@@RichardM-kv4uu Couldnt agree more. There's a phrase called "Against the run of play" I am shocked and demoralised by the amount of people who don't seem to understand that concept (UNLESS their team loses). It's incredible.
Yes he did, He walked towards the Wolves fans with ear deafening jeers and then in return started to applaud us, The jeers turned to applause for him instantly.And he won us round. What a character he was.
I remember being on the coach to Wembley on the day... as we came across the Forest fans on the M1 going down, all the forest fans were holding up their local newspapers' prediction :- Forest 5 Wolves 1 ..... well at least they got the Wolves 1 bit right
I remember this Final as Wolves were outplayed but held on with a superb defensive rear guard action. That was a rare mistake by Shilton but fair play to Wolves. They were a good side back then and won despite not being great that day... also Mel Eves had a loan spell at my club Huddersfield and did very well. We were skint and alas couldnt afford to buy him and he moved on again.
We didn't score though, so at the end of it all Wolves deserved to win. Shame too because Forest would have got to keep that original trophy for good if they'd won it that day!
Am so glad I grew up in this era I think football was better and more exciting. better characters in the game Emlyn Hughes was a great example of enthusiasm he was a winner and nobody deserved it more
A twist shown today on the Big Match revisited. A last minute goal by FA Cup winners West Ham in Quarter final the week before meant Andy Gray didn't miss the League Cup final due to suspension. Wolves game v Aston Villa where he served suspension would have been postponed otherwise and Gray would have missed the League Cup final.
Remember this game. Forest were such a great side, couldn’t fathom how they could lose to Wolves. Wolves were an ordinary side at best. Forest were arguably the best side in Europe. Well they won the European Cup later this season.
All credits due to wolves. A proper club. Although forest should have won by plenty I dont think us forest fans should complain. With francis out of the 1980 european cup final we lost most of our attacking power. Francis was definetly among the best strikers in the world before he got injured. After going up against Hamburg we had to defend just as wolves did in this final and without a fantastic shilton we would have lost. That was shiltons best game ever.
Tnx for the compliment ,wolves havjt won much in their history compared with the most successful clubs but their history and so many firsts in the English game is right up there.. Forest were a good side and should Indeed have won ,very lucky to have Brian clough he came along at the right time and made a very very average club !
@@Lord_Hillcrest letting Maradona out jump him even using his hand for me he was slow of his line and his jump to reach it lacked spring also the German free kick when he back peddled he looked heavy legged again I think he played on a tournament to long for England but he was a great keeper but there all big pivotal moments for me
@@billybigtime2808 How the hell can you blame him for the Maradona goal when he used his hand to knock it in , had he not Shilton wouldve got there ! The german goal was deflected and threw him off balance , man you dont understand goalkeeping .

Back when the league cup meant something
not really. this final was played on a saturday afternoon at the same time as the division 1 games.

Same as FA cup..until Sky & BT mafias take over football.
thanks for sharing
shilton got out jumped then too
George Berry's haircut......what a classic.....good old fashioned centre half
George Berry and the whole of the wolves team that day where immense. Although forest were favourites, wolves managed to hold out and grind a result.
I remember the goal at the time and Andy Gray's celebration. (Was it me or is Emlym Hughes not having a great game? He seemed a bit out of form).
+1.👍
I think Hughes retired in the end of this season....remember he started his career at Blackpool in the early 60s
Liverpool let him go at the end of the previous season for a reason.
Nottingham push, but Wolves get the match. Great match and quality football. I remember my 15 years old with Francis and Robertson in Barcelona. Great players. Salutes from Spain.
Happy days Britain 🇬🇧 was Great back then lovely place to grow up in 👍
Yes, Thatcherism made for a wonderful place.. 😅😅😅😅😅
Not so much if you were black or Asian.

haha funny seeing advertising boards with Rizla haha
Those were the days my friend!.All of us behind the goal when Andy scored.Andy,the ball,the net ,we were in the air before the ball left his foot!.
Best wolves shirt, the colour spot on👌
Both strips were fantastic and remained so until the late '80's when signs were there but not realised until the early mid 90's when all shirts became truly horrific - mainly due to the baggy 'fit'.
Give Sky back their money
Total Shilton mess up on the goal.
yes he was operated at times! should never have been at 86 and 90 world cups! he developed lead in his feet!
And he was england nomber 1...
Over rated keeper
Clearly the quality is better these days but the relative lack of cynicism - and diving in particular - makes this so much more fun to watch.
Come on WANDERERS !
40 years ago today
Good day. Watched and enjoyed. So liked. Thank for the uploading. Country Azerbaijan

How did we not win that???!!!
Should have won 5-1, but ended up losing! I always refer to this game when people say the best team always wins, because quite obviously they don't!
Because we kept a clean sheet.

Mix up between Needham and Shilton responsible for Forest losing a game they really should have won....

When Andy Gray played for you , the team tended to win stuff it seemed .
When gray joined any club they would win something
Gray celebrating like he had just bashed in a 30 yard worldie. 😅
Am so glad I grew up in this era I think football was better and more exciting. better characters in the game Emlyn Hughes was a great example of enthusiasm he was a winner and nobody deserved it more
5:11 at when goal was scored !
Is that ball a cube?!

4:27. Despite Forest's dominance, Wolves scored this goal!
The goal is at 5:16. 😏
I'd forgotten what a genius Peter Daniel was. Probably Wolves' greatest ever player.
That official Football League ball - always appeared to be flat
John Cole ? Did it ? Really I don't think so that ball was far better than all the crap of today
@@chrisfallon9678 Maybe an optical illusion due to the stripe!
Well done Wolves
Made up for the robbery of 1978
That day made me so proud to be a wolves fan those were the days
Im suprised andy scored that
Nice umbro jersey for Wolves
Its Andy Gray again,
most Underrated Player In England !!!
It was said Needham didn't here Shilton call for it Due to the noise behind the goal,
It was outside the area. Shilton should not have been going for it in the first place. Needham was trying to chest it back to him
Remember this game. Forest were such a great side, couldn’t fathom how they could lose to Wolves. Wolves were an ordinary side at best. Forest were arguably the best side in Europe. Well they won the European Cup later this season.
Vantheman12 3 An ordinary side at best? Wolves finished sixth in 1979-80.
Got to score if you want to win.no ball in the back of the net no win.
As they say... That's football ! Well done the Wolves .YNWA captain Emlyn Hughes 👍
