Highlights of Brighton & Hove Albion v Crystal Palace, Leeds United v Manchester United and Southampton v Fulham. Studio guests are Terry Venables, Alan Mullery and Alec Stock.
People spoke much more naturally and freely on TV back then. The modern fashion is to always keep super cool. Anything else is considered unaaceptable. I miss the way people weren't afraid to show real feelings and passion.
Just think, Martin Tyler is still going strong! He commentated on the likes of Best, Moore, Marsh etc. Now *that's* an experienced commentator, unlike the "newbies" who've found their way into the game today...
Must've been alright for those living on Goldstone Lane, living in warmth & watching the matches free of charge. Like having executive boxes. All due to the fact that the East Stand was an uncovered terrace. Would have ended up being disappointed when the club (controversially) left The Goldstone Ground.
I am a palace fan of 40 years standing and I'm not too sure how the rivalry came about.I do know there was a spat between the two clubs which culminated in Mullery throwing some notes to the ground and saying'palace aren't worth that.Dont know if the rivalry grew from this alone or something else,but the rivalry is still going strong today.Usually rivalry is two teams with close geography,not in this case.
Brian Moore was legendary presenter and commentator
Fantastic upload. Plus an interview with the original Ron Manager (Alec Stock) from the Fast Show

'naturally and freely'? See if you can find the, infamous, Derek Hales interview. 🫡
And yet even without voice training and equality coaching, they show more natural wit and eloquence than the stars of today.
Alec Stock was the inspiration for Ron Manager according to Paul Whitehouse.
Oh. Small boys. Coats for goalposts. Hmm?

Indeed… and he’s still a cont.
I'm pretty sure he's a Bertie old Martin

Great memories, and a dip in the old 3rd division.
I was there - what a crush to see Moore, Best, Marsh and my personal fav Ossie. Milton Road at the old Dell. Jumpers for goalposts.......
I never saw the Big Match. Being in the midlands we had ATV Star Soccer. Hugh Johns being the main midlands commentator
Iconic intro music, they should bring it back
George Best wasn't even mentioned in the Fulham game until he was walking off the pitch! He did go missing a lot
Anybody else remember the Admiral kits back in the day?
A red card back then was talked about like your best friend or parent had died. Funny but great days watching real men do battle.
Of all the football themes this is the daddy, itv should use it again.
Thanks again. I was wondering if you have the 1973 big matches in november containing qpr-coventry and a couple of weeks later sheffield u-COVENTRY?
Didn't know Kenneth Williams managed Crystal Palace.
Wasn`t Ray Lewis from Great Bookham in Surrey,? always made me laugh
Have you got more Big Match editions from 1976-77?
Think I'm correct in saying He didn't last much longer as Fulham manager after this
Dur, dur, dur, durda, da, da, da....
Yorkshire TV's commentator Nigel King sounds like he's on the eadge of a nervous breakdown with each sentence!
Brighton v Palace, even though they're 50 miles apart, when did this become a needle match,
wasn't there a big blow up fracas a year or two later?

Kenny Sampson. What a career.
@@trevski9265 Sansom.
Aren't they connected with a road, the A23 I think?
@@darganx everywhere is connected with a road!
Re Alec Stock. According to Wikipedia he left Fulham in July 1976. Yet, this was broadcast was from October 1976?
Anyone can update Wikipedia. It’s not always accurate
@@ER-gw2xz I know. That is why I was querying it to see if anyone knows.
Never rely on Wikipedia for accuracy.
