Saw him play at the end of his career at Stockport. The player you don't see now. Legs gone, but still knows enough to get a last wage packet. Could cross a ball to the end though.
Absolute legend,, you might be able to answer a question did he refuse to play against Arsenal when he joined leicester when they play Arsenal ?might be an urban legand, this is from a lifelong Arsenal fan, since the early 70s
I remember Alan Ball’s goal, I always thought it was 12 seconds! I used to listen to Sports Watch, hosted by Dominic Allen on LBC, Saturday afternoons! Fond memories of that era 🥰
I cant get over how nice the pitch looks. I'm United fan was born in 88. I only went highbury twice. 1995 we lost to bergkamp 1-0 and 1997 last min from Platt. But I went alot of United v Arsenal wins haha
not to mention you were newly promoted and all so it was a novelty game for you. bit like chelsea bragging about their 16,000 in '84 when they had thousands of day trippers out like a cup final. real support is reflected after years of the same standard of football
This is poorly thought out reply. We took over Upton Park in 1967 & old heads at West Ham have hated us ever since. You maybe able to pin point a poor turnout by our high standards here and there but nobody took numbers all over the country like United in the seventies and eighties.
Highburys capacity was over fifty thousand in them day's lol cockney reds were in the north bank but got a pasting and cordoned off fifty two thousand at that match , ATID , coyg ! 🔥🔥🔥🌠🌠🌠🌶🌶🌶👍👍👍☄☄🙏🙏
United used to fill the Clock End and have supporters in the Northbank, arsenal used to bring very few to Old Trafford. I always used to find the atmosphere poor at Arsenal like it still is today
To think that Peter Shilton would willingly have signed for United for fifty quid a week more than United were willing to pay him... FFS ... the rest is history.
Sure that’s all we had in 88 ? We had all the clock end apart from a few Arsenal in the corner near the main stand. We had all the lower tier on the avenell road from the clock to the north bank. Arsenal rarely even filled the scoreboard lower at old Trafford. Chelsea & spurs usually brought more
MU were poor even in promotion. That side wouldn't have got out of the Championship today. The name frightened the lower leaguer boys not their actual players. Coppell was the only all-timer they had back then. They signed all the 34/36 inch waist band footballers Arsenal didn't want.
We had come in a minibus there were about 7 of us we got dropped off up at the Clock End area of the ground dont know the name of the road quite early we were singing a few songs and having a laugh then saw loads running towards us i stupidly stood there while my mates had the sense to run and the rest is history we were not causing trouble
Geordie Armstrong is my grandad

@@peterh1353 Yeah my dad ( Geordie's son ) said he played at Stockport.

Miss HIGHBURY so much !!! RIP
Play for the badge then 😎
Not cash Greed then
Six years old. First Arsenal match I ever went to. My cousins took me and gave me a red and white scarf on the way home. Happy memories.
Those were the days loved 😍it
I really like United's away kit in 1971.
That was 1975 not '71. I prefer the old club jerseys with no adds.
I love the last goal :)

They had undersoil heating so the grass grew all years. Was quite expensive to run and maintain.
The game were a event what
Ever the results were then
Alan Ball!!!⚪🔴⚪🔴

You had the highest capacity in the top flight 62,000 in the seventies and eighties but never once had the highest average crowds.
Always remember that Union flag behind the goal at the north bank.
Yes. Always there. The lady who came had to queue for hours to get that spot. Maybe the first there.
I'm sure there was a man with her called badger because of his badges
What a united following
At least half of them Londoners and at a time a train ticket cost about the same as a pork pie.
was huge our away support then plus newly promoted added to it. we had biig support in south. full clock that day arsenal brought none to ot that yr
only 40.000 n utd got most clock
ye a bit more impressive than the 1200 or so they brought to us till they were goin for the league late 80s
United used to fill the Clock End and have supporters in the Northbank, arsenal used to bring very few to Old Trafford. I always used to find the atmosphere poor at Arsenal like it still is today
There was more than 40k in that ground.
Zelda Fitzgerald i have to agree i was there n utd packed the clock n rest of ground was full. ye not solid but no way 40.000 but thats the stat
@@redflag8970 There was no actual count. Just turn styles. They had a crowd warden but I can't remember they ever shut the barriers.
@@peterh1353 does look big crowd .. are you a arsenal man
The end of the four-game Paddy Roche era
Could you explain the background to that comment please,he had a nightmare in this game that’s for sure
Poor Paddy got some stick, I was in among the thousands of United supporters
Eugene Garvey Paddy was a liability ..... just to hear his name spoken brings on all sorts of anxieties

@@billybigtime2808 check out the Liverpool game as well
Malaysia team beat Arsenal 2-0 on 11 may 1975 at merdeka Stadium Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.. international' friendly match
Behave. Best following you had at Highbury was the FA Cup game in 88, 12,000.
Using your calculating skills, that would equate to 6725

Peter H: Stop being bitter
3rd in league an f a runners up. rest of first div must of been worse
Stuart Pearson made the difference
Got you out of the 2nd division
Back then Mate
I was 15 got beaten up outside by the Arsenal hard men surely did not need four on to one 15 year old top men your lot lol
You were probably giving it, like you're giving it now!
Probably spurs fans.
The tube station was at the ground and the route was always policed. Like to know where you got hit. If it happened I am sorry.
@r que think its you who is the prick you dont have a clue what happened so stop talking shit
We had come in a minibus there were about 7 of us we got dropped off up at the Clock End area of the ground dont know the name of the road quite early we were singing a few songs and having a laugh then saw loads running towards us i stupidly stood there while my mates had the sense to run and the rest is history we were not causing trouble
paddy roche, literally the worst goalkeeper i have ever seen.
Terrible football
Good old Arsenal .
