I can remember watching this and although the result went against England I would say that this game was my most memorable world cup moment ever. Such an exciting match from start to finish and one which kept you on the edge of your seat for its entire duration. Watching games nowadays and I seem to get bored after 10minutes.
@@dzeo7569 NO, it doesn't?! Clarke clearly handles the ball, the referee signals this TWICE by tapping his hand, he awards a free kick from the exact spot where Clarke was standing, the English players aren't even protesting the decision. How can you be so oblivious? It couldn't be much clearer.
I was at Wembley for this game, and what a game it was. I remember all of us singing "give us a goal" - and Poland then scored! I missed Hector's effort being cleared off the line in the last minute because everyone stood up (I was only 11!), I had a blinding headache at the end and my Dad congratulated some Poland fans after the game. But HOW did England not win?
They got a trophy, as well as a runner up and 2 third places. 1972 - First place. Olympics. 1974 - Third place. World Cup. 1976 - Second place. Olympics. 1978 - Last 8. World Cup. 1982 - Third place. World Cup. Also - top scorers - Kazik Deyna (Olympics), Lato (World Cup).
I attended a game in this group when Wales beat Poland 2-0. I was only 14 but still remember their star Lubanski. Unfortunately he was injured for the World Cup but the Poles surprised everybody in finishing in 3rd place.
Not so bad England, drawing against the country which came 3rd in the world cup, and were unlucky, with so many chances and a rare mistake by Shilton. Wales did well to beat Poland and draw at Wembley- very tough group to be in.
If they were the dream team then on that performance England should have been world champions .. instead we weretold by foreigners our game was archaic , bolloclks ...foreign teams were terrified of England
@@markcollinge8541 This team will never played like this in next matches. Polish players was prepared on this kind of matches (europen cups against english teams) and they should win World Cup, but it was waterpolo game against Germany :(
My late Mum let me stay up late to watch this aged 9. I couldn't believe how good their keeper was (worse luck). In West Germany '74 he was as good as Sepp Maier. England really should have won that night: we had a team full of heroes and a World Cup winning manager. Clever Brian Clough called their keeper a clown, knowing full well it would not only give us a laugh when we needed it, but he'd always be remembered for it. And he is, God rest him.
Just barely thirteen when I watched this crucial World Cup qualifier between England and Poland at Wembley on 17 October 1973. England needed a win whereas Poland the 1972 Olympic champions just a draw would be suffice. Five months earlier at Katowice,England had suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to the Poles.But this time around with home ground advantage the English fans had expected the home team to walk over the visitors.Moreover last month on 26 September in a friendly at the same venue England had crushed Austria 7-0. The Poles knew that it would not be easy playing England at Wembley and they came with intentions hoping for a draw. Yes that night England attacked relentlessly and ruthlessly non stop for the duration of the match.The only problem.The England frontline lacked finishing power.The ball would not go in despite the many chances.Allan Clarke,Martin Chivers,Colin Bell and Mick Channon did have chances presented to them.But they just could not apply the finishing touches. It was either the Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszeski or the goal post that stood in England's way.And the Poles too had Lady Luck to thank them. For all their dominance England despite equalising with an Allan Clarke penalty just could not score another to qualify for the Munich finals. One of the blackest days in English football but then the home team had no one but only themselves to blame.Chances were a plenty but forwards especially the culprit Martin Chivers left their scoring boots at home. That draw sealed Sir Alf Ramsey's fate as England's supremo.He would continue to take charge but too for two England friendlies with Italy and Portugal in April the following year.

WOW..nice story..in those days i was studying english as a second language in Poole...And remember this game...great game Lions played It well ..but Poland got an outstanding team...nice memories of those days...👍👍👍
Poland had a spectacular run in World Cup matches. They played 19 qualification and finals games over a 5 year period ending on 14 June, 1978- winning 15 and losing only once to West Germany at the 1974 finals.
great team of poland tomaszewski the legend here , on 1974 poland came third without the star lubanski,great team still remember szarmach and deyna scoring ag, italy 2-1-england was good but unlucky in this game
and the reason Poland were without their star striker Lubanski was because he was hacked down by the dirty McFarland in the Poland v England fixture earlier in the qualifiers and wrecked his cruciate ligament ...was never the same player again
Shilton was at fault there is no doubt , he tried to smother it and not spill it . That was englands best keeper not a sunday keeper. He knew it everyone knew it .
I was at this game behind the goal where the polish team scored . England played very well but the ball just would not go in the net, They got caught out by the sucker punch on the break . bad mistake by Norman Hunter RIP
Clough liked to make dramatic/provocative statements like that. It was part of his persona. In fairness, I do think he expected England to win handily this night.
Listening to the commentary now it feels like Poland have a few composers at the back! Remember this match like it was yesterday..end of an era that began with the Hungary drubbings 20yrs before.
A lot of us remember the match for Tomaszewski's heroics, and Brian Clough's pre-match comments on the 'clown' in goal for the Poles. On the night, the clowns were actually Hunter and Shilton.
Remember the disbelief at England going out that night, we absolutely battered them but simply could not get the winner, however only the Netherlands were better to watch than the Poles at WC74 .
England have never got over losing the World Cup in 1970, Poland just made it worse, we can't forgive ourselves and every generation no matter how good is afflicted with the memory!
3 rzeczy: heroiczna obrona, wielki dzień Tomaszewskiego i dobra gra z kontry. Nic więcej. Nawet Deyna się kilka razy pogubił. Jednak zwraca uwagę gra Polaków z pierwszej piłki i dobre ustawienie, a dziś to są nasze mankamenty.
Watch the full game; these are the most 'one-sided' highlights ever. Where is the McFarland's 'tactical foul' on Lato as he was clearly getting into a one on one with Shilton, at O:1! And other really good plays of our team. See the game or shut up.
@@paulgorka2674 you pick ONE incident, England had in excess of 30 shots in this game,counting the monent you mentioned Poland had 3, yes the most one sided 1/1 i ever saw
To think it was 12 years before an England team qualified again after 1970 is amazing? We had some great players that didn't get to go to a finals Keegan Brooking etc only went at the end of their careers shame really?
You can clearly see Clarke handling the ball at 10:48, you see it again in slo mo, you can see the referee tapping his hand twice, he awards a free kick from the exact spot where Clarke was standing , and still the commentator has no clue why the goal was disallowed? Wow.
Alf never understood substitutions. Took Charlton off in that QF against West Germany in 1970, made no subs whatsoever in the first Poland game, and this game he brought on Kevin Hector for the ineffective Chivers with only 2 minutes left (maybe with 20 minutes instead of two, he might've been the hero, heck he nearly was the hero with only 2 minutes on the field)
this kind of match in Poland we called "defence of Częstochowa" [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jasna_G%C3%B3ra] Because we have only hope before win :) cheers from Poland :D
Jan Domarski's goal in the 57th minute killed off England's 1974 World Cup qualification hopes and thus for the first time since 1950 England missed the boat to the World Cup finals. A defensive lapse by Norman Hunter resulted in Gregord Lato easily disposed the former of the ball and the latter raced through to enable Domarski to slip the ball through between the legs of goalkeeper Peter Shilton.That goal by Dormaski meant that England in the next thirty three minutes had to score twice to make the Munich finals. As such,the home team were desperate not only to equalise but to score another.The equaliser did come a few minutes later and Allan Clarke cooly slotted the ball past Tomaszeski. But for the remaining minutes of the match,tried as they could,England just could not score another that would have sealed England's passage to the 1974 World Cup finals in West Germany. Sir Alf Ramsey was numb with helplessness after the match.Ask about what would be his future as England's supremo he replied,"Who knows?"
yes, Norm has stated in interviews he rues that move he made and should have booted the bloody ball into the stands instead of keeping it in. poor Norm still a footy God though!!!
The frustrating thing is that I really believe this is the best group of individual players England ever. They could have been the best England side ever. They would have been in real contention at the W/c finals in Germany. Shilton, Madeley, Hughes, Hunter, McFarland, Bell, Currie, Channon, Clarke, Chivers, Peters. All truly great players, and many more in reserve. No Kevin Keegan, and Francis Lee wasn’t even selected.
For all their faults this England team contained some of the most talented players of the decade: Bell, Channon, Chivers, Clark, Currie, Hughes, Hunter, Madeley were all outstanding footballers: yet somehow a team with less "spectacular" individuals (Hurst, Mullery, Peters, Beardsley, etc) achieved far more in 1966, 1968, 1990 and 1996.
A koncówka pierwszej połowy, kiedy Deyna zakłada siatkę trzem Anglikom pod rząd? A przy stanie 0-1, Deyna znowu kiwa dwóch Anglików, podaje kanałem do Laty, ten wychodzi sam na sam z Shiltonem i psuje? Tak naprawdę, to Anglicy mieli jakieś 4 sytuacje, a Polska 3. No i pamiętajmy, że Angole bramke zdobyli z karnego z dupy.
My father shook the television so much the glass bulbs in the back blew up/ for those of you who don't know what I'm on about Google it you won't believe it but it's true / you could make your own televisions in them days
Sir Alf Ramsey should have recalled Geoff Hurst and Francis Lee for this crucial World Cup tie with Poland at Wembley on 17 October 1973. But he did not and paid the price.The rather clumsy Martin Chivers was ineffective and had Hurst and Lee being available they could have tucked away those chances. The front line of Channon,Chivers and Clarke misfired and missed so many chances which could have sealed an easy win for England. The Poles were hardly in the game at all except for the goal by Jan Domarski. Why and how did England missed all those chances?And England forced no less than twenty six corners and had dominated the proceedings for the entire match.The misfiring Martin Chivers could have made way for Kevin Hector much earlier but one wonders why Sir Alf had not done it much earlier.Chivers as we all know had played his last game for England and was not recalled for England's next friendly with Italy at Wembley in November.Norman Hunter made a blunder of it all as he miskicked and allowed Gregorzt Lato to race through allowing Dormarski to deliver the killer goal.Clarke equalised at 1-1 five minutes later but it was too little too late.
The England players were so much in a hurry to get on with the ball and to go in for the kill.This must have unsettled them. Instead they should have been more cautious and take their time to gradually built up their attacks. The Poles knew that the home team was under tremendous pressure to deliver in the goals and they concentrated on tightening up their defence to make sure that England did not get an early goal.
Les anglais ont eu de la chance sur ce match : Lato ne jouait pas. Qui était le meilleurs buteur du championnat anglais ? Il leur manquait un joueur pour pousser les ballons au fond (cela s'est confirmer dans le match qu'ils ont joué après contre l'italie).
Poland were dead lucky in this game. England had 40 odd attempts on goal 2 goals disallowed hit woodwork..unbelievable. The Dice of Fate have been thrown and we went 30odd years of bad luck and poor refereeing decisions .
Garry Wood Every team gets a game like that ! I remember we 🇮🇪 drew 0-0 with Liechtenstein with similar stats ! Had we won we’d have gotten to Euro 96 !
And from my point of view, as I remember the game, Belgian ref was all for England. It is just point of view and the direction of your heart. Look at Poland's team now. No heart in the game. Does this make you happy? I don't care how good England is now. But England is good today. In any case, the team plays, not individual players.
Shilton got away with that goal. I was only 8 years old watching this game with my Dad and older brother but I don't recall him being especially blamed. The man who was blamed was Hunter for treading on the ball as he tried to trap it and let the Polish player get away from him. Hughes and McFarland did their best to cover but the speed and decisiveness of the Polish counter and the clinical finish from Domarski were excellent. Shilton should have done better, and he was slow to set himself for the shot. He rises up with a little jump just before Domarsky shoots. Domarski didn't give the ball a first touch but delivered a quick first time snapshot. Shilton was clearly expecting the Pole to give it a first touch before shooting and was caught unawares and coudn't get down to the ball. England's attacks looked frenetic and frenzied. What they really needed to was less frenzy and more control and incisive play. Basically they lacked quality. Although this was a very strong Poland side that went on to finish 3rd in the World cup.
. Shilton did seem to get away with being blamed throughout his England career whilst his counterpart, Clemence, was castigated for his errors (Scotland, Norway and Hungary spring to mind). However Clemence was not directly responsible for England failing to progress at any world cup. But Shilton was on 3 separate occasions. Poland in 73. Argentina in 86 where he was out jumped by Maradona. And West Germany in 90 when he should have dealt with the free kick. Terrific goalkeeper. But error prone on the big occasion.
En los 70s fue negro para la selección de Inglaterra no fue al mundial de Alemania en el 74 y tampoco en Argentina 78 ya que Italia fue primero de su grupo y para colmo enfrento ala campeona olímpica que era Polonia dejándolos fuera con todo y boby moore
I really respect English people. Probably they are most intelligent and powerful nation in whole history. Shakespeare, the Beatles, FC Liverpool, Churchill, Newton, Tony Blair, John Cleese... Other people may smell their panties. But... Poles were unexpectedly better this evening.
Jack Brodnicki Well, that's debatable if Jack the Ripper was English.. Yes, most of the suspects were English, but two weren't: one was an American stage actor living in London, who committed suicide, and the killings strangely stopped shortly afterwards, another suspect was an Eastern European emigré. But it's doubtful we'll ever know for sure.
Tomaszewski... Yeah, he was quite amazing, but these highlights are such a bullshit! Watch the whole thing, where is Lato's break through and McFarland's.. what today would be an 'automatic' red... And another one-one-one? The WHOLE team played really well.
the dirty carthorse, McFarland, wrecked Poland's star player in the earlier fixture in Poland....which Poland won 2-0 ….damaged his cruciate ligaments and he was never the same player again.

The frustrating thing is that I really believe this is the best group of individual players England ever. They could have been the best England side ever. They would have been in real contention at the W/c finals in Germany.

Agreed never seen a better strike force in one team.

Lucky as hell.
@@rajkobjelica4905
It's a tactic, you have to be able to attack and defend. Poles were better tactically.
THE PROBLEM WITH ENGLAND'S FORWARDS WAS THAT THEY TEND TO AIM THEIR SHOTS DIRECT AT THE POLISH GOALKEEPER RATHER THAN PLACED THEM BEYOND.
How was that shot at 5:55 aimed at the keeper? Ridiculous save.
whenever im feeling down i come and have another watch of this
Looking back on it England didn't have the wit to create many clear cut chances.
Two thoughts: Tony Currie was a great player and he won far too few England caps; why did Norman Hunter not just belt that ball into the stands?
For all their faults this England team contained some of the most talented players of the decade: Bell, Channon, Chivers, Clark, Currie, Hughes, Hunter, Madeley were all outstanding footballers: yet somehow a team with less "spectacular" individuals (Hurst, Mullery, Peters, Beardsley, etc) achieved far more in 1966, 1968, 1990 and 1996.
Mullery only played in the 1970 World Cup
Good team. terrible tactics. Get it out wide and pump in a long cross over and over and over again.

CAUSED BY MEDIA PRESSURE
Good team, poor management.
Why was Channons "Goal" disallowed?
attacker-couldn't work out who-was all over the defender before the ball was laid back to Channon
It was given for handball against Chivers. Bullshit decision
It was a handball by Sniffer Clarke and it was the right decision
Hand ball by Alan Clarke, with out doubt the right call.
Pat Ridge you clearly don’t have a clue about football rules was given for that but ref after admitted it was wrong call
I never forget Poland’s keeper. Is Shilton still playing for England? 😂
srew you !! english boys !!!!
Screw them ... z Irlandii :-)

A gdzie jest ten moment gdzie Lato wychodzi sam na sam i Anglik łapie go za koszulkę??????:)))))
oni tego nigdy nie pokazuja. czerwona kartka.
Wlasnie !!!!!!!!!!
Cholera
A koncówka pierwszej połowy, kiedy Deyna zakłada siatkę trzem Anglikom pod rząd? A przy stanie 0-1, Deyna znowu kiwa dwóch Anglików, podaje kanałem do Laty, ten wychodzi sam na sam z Shiltonem i psuje? Tak naprawdę, to Anglicy mieli jakieś 4 sytuacje, a Polska 3.
No i pamiętajmy, że Angole bramke zdobyli z karnego z dupy.
oczywiście Tomaszewski bronił świetnie, ale ewidentnie słabo u niego było z wyjściami do piłki (źle obliczał jej tor lotu) i jej piąstkowaniem
MajkiPGWCh04 Tak sie wydaje z tego skrotu. Mial i tu kilka swietnych wyjsc. A w Chorzowie dal, po prostu, pokazowe, jak grac na przedpolu...

Why was the England goal disallowed?
Clark touched the ball with his hand.
That ball just did not want to go in lol
In the beggining I thought this was a Monty Python sketch
Was that the late Brian Moore commentating ?
No that is not Brian.
Hugh Johns
Schnipp08 - Thank you. Yes, of course. The late Hugh Johns - died June 27th, 2007 aged 84.
Sir Alf Ramsey should have recalled Geoff Hurst and Francis Lee for this crucial World Cup tie with Poland at Wembley on 17 October 1973.
But he did not and paid the price.The rather clumsy Martin Chivers was ineffective and had Hurst and Lee being available they could have tucked away those chances.
The front line of Channon,Chivers and Clarke misfired and missed so many chances which could have sealed an easy win for England.
The Poles were hardly in the game at all except for the goal by Jan Domarski.
Why and how did England missed all those chances?And England forced no less than twenty six corners and had dominated the proceedings for the entire match.The misfiring Martin Chivers could have made way for Kevin Hector much earlier but one wonders why Sir Alf had not done it much earlier.Chivers as we all know had played his last game for England and was not recalled for England's next friendly with Italy at Wembley in November.Norman Hunter made a blunder of it all as he miskicked and allowed Gregorzt Lato to race through allowing Dormarski to deliver the killer goal.Clarke equalised at 1-1 five minutes later but it was too little too late.
You forgot that McFarland saved England from defeat by fouling Lato. 😂
The England players were so much in a hurry to get on with the ball and to go in for the kill.This must have unsettled them.
Instead they should have been more cautious and take their time to gradually built up their attacks.
The Poles knew that the home team was under tremendous pressure to deliver in the goals and they concentrated on tightening up their defence to make sure that England did not get an early goal.
England wouldn't develop tactical patience until Bobby Robson and Venables. Clough must've shook his head watching this because his teams HAD it.
A discolated finger goalkeeper would be off for a month these days 😂😂😂
Les anglais ont eu de la chance sur ce match : Lato ne jouait pas.
Qui était le meilleurs buteur du championnat anglais ?
Il leur manquait un joueur pour pousser les ballons au fond (cela s'est confirmer dans le match qu'ils ont joué après contre l'italie).
Mais bien sur que Lato jouait a ce match la. Tu peux entendre son nom a la 10:03 au contre-attaque pour un 0:1 pour la Pologne. ;)
What was wrong with Channons goal ?
handball just before passing to him
nothing
Mike West handball
eh, Channon didn't score !
dave english
Where’s the Italian referee to bribe when you want one!
England no wingers since 66 people like summerbee armstrong and hinton frozen out
Aisling Dalton , travesty 3 great players!
Shilton:-D
Was that really a penalty? The English player seemed to fall awfully easily.
Jaaa chce pooooolskeeeeee
4 46 A f _ in pen or whot _ we went to war for these clones _ I don't know ? Great support hear !
Knocked us back years !!! Why no Bobby Moore????
Because he was no longer first choice at West Ham and had committed an absolute howler in the first game against Poland
What was wrong with England's disaollowed goal at 10:50??
nothing
Hand ball by Clarke
Hand ball. What was wrong with the foul on Lato?
Poland were a very good side then and england should have scored six!!
Robbed....The most one sided 1-1 draw in football history.
Poland were dead lucky in this game. England had 40 odd attempts on goal 2 goals disallowed hit woodwork..unbelievable. The Dice of Fate have been thrown and we went 30odd years of bad luck and poor refereeing decisions .
Garry Wood Every team gets a game like that ! I remember we 🇮🇪 drew 0-0 with Liechtenstein with similar stats ! Had we won we’d have gotten to Euro 96 !
Garry wood always is other team that is lucky,or may be England dont know how to score.
And from my point of view, as I remember the game, Belgian ref was all for England. It is just point of view and the direction of your heart. Look at Poland's team now. No heart in the game. Does this make you happy? I don't care how good England is now. But England is good today. In any case, the team plays, not individual players.
Has anyone ever called Shilton to task for diving over the ball ?
agreed, but it was Clemence actually.
what am i talking about!!! it was shilton
Shilton got away with that goal. I was only 8 years old watching this game with my Dad and older brother but I don't recall him being especially blamed. The man who was blamed was Hunter for treading on the ball as he tried to trap it and let the Polish player get away from him. Hughes and McFarland did their best to cover but the speed and decisiveness of the Polish counter and the clinical finish from Domarski were excellent.
Shilton should have done better, and he was slow to set himself for the shot. He rises up with a little jump just before Domarsky shoots. Domarski didn't give the ball a first touch but delivered a quick first time snapshot. Shilton was clearly expecting the Pole to give it a first touch before shooting and was caught unawares and coudn't get down to the ball.
England's attacks looked frenetic and frenzied. What they really needed to was less frenzy and more control and incisive play. Basically they lacked quality. Although this was a very strong Poland side that went on to finish 3rd in the World cup.
. Shilton did seem to get away with being blamed throughout his England career whilst his counterpart, Clemence, was castigated for his errors (Scotland, Norway and Hungary spring to mind). However Clemence was not directly responsible for England failing to progress at any world cup. But Shilton was on 3 separate occasions. Poland in 73. Argentina in 86 where he was out jumped by Maradona. And West Germany in 90 when he should have dealt with the free kick. Terrific goalkeeper. But error prone on the big occasion.
@@alancjones64 very good points made here. Shilton screwed up when it really mattered like most England goalkeepers.
En los 70s fue negro para la selección de Inglaterra no fue al mundial de Alemania en el 74 y tampoco en Argentina 78 ya que Italia fue primero de su grupo y para colmo enfrento ala campeona olímpica que era Polonia dejándolos fuera con todo y boby moore
How did we not win 25-nil ?
Maybe just because Poland scored first goal? ;-)
I really respect English people. Probably they are most intelligent and powerful nation in whole history. Shakespeare, the Beatles, FC Liverpool, Churchill, Newton, Tony Blair, John Cleese... Other people may smell their panties. But... Poles were unexpectedly better this evening.
Except the Tony Blair thing I agree with you! ;-)
Not to mention Jack the Ripper...
I totally forgot what I was going to mention... it's in the bag.
Jack Brodnicki Well, that's debatable if Jack the Ripper was English.. Yes, most of the suspects were English, but two weren't: one was an American stage actor living in London, who committed suicide, and the killings strangely stopped shortly afterwards, another suspect was an Eastern European emigré. But it's doubtful we'll ever know for sure.
We'll never find out.
Murphy's law, bad luck, jinx......
THE ⚽ WOULDN'T PASS THE WHITE LINE
10:05
42 corners
Spurs' Martin Peters was wasted at midfield.He should have been deployed to his usual role as a goal poacher.
England post 1970 lost Bobby Charlton and had no natural ball winner..
it was all england atack atack
On any other night 5 - 0 for england. Shilton was useless.
Very true
Tomaszewski... Yeah, he was quite amazing, but these highlights are such a bullshit! Watch the whole thing, where is Lato's break through and McFarland's.. what today would be an 'automatic' red... And another one-one-one? The WHOLE team played really well.
Agree. Tomaszewski had great saves, but the very best one is not in this compilation. It was a point-blank shot in the 2nd half.
I mean this one
ua-cam.com/video/1imEFONbClU/v-deo.html
the dirty carthorse, McFarland, wrecked Poland's star player in the earlier fixture in Poland....which Poland won 2-0 ….damaged his cruciate ligaments and he was never the same player again.
Poland had one shot and scored. England goalkeeper mistake. Never got the better of England since.
england had to win ,moore was droped by alf for this game
Well done Domarski!
