I played for a under thirteen football team back in 1977 and we used to lose almost every game but at least by being the goalkeeper I got plenty of action by the opposition and it kept me warm on those cold Sunday winters mornings..😂
And my god those winter mornings in 1980s left me like an icicle - I am genuinely surprised I didn't get hypothermia from playing football. Kids these days have it easy with global warming and performance textiles!
Them kids have a brilliant sense of humour. “You won one game last year, what did you think that was down to?” “Football” 🤣 “Do you want to be a professional?” “Not if the shirts are this big” 😂
These kids remind me of myself. I was useless at Footie and still am. Even my nephews and nieces don't want me in their teams coz I'm so useless at footie. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." I myself have been an unsuccessful singer and musician for over 40 years. Some happy memories. Some, not so. Still, good on them 👏
@metjovi That's very nice of you, thank you. I tried to make a career out of music, and it wasn't meant to be, but true, I still enjoy it. It's therapeutic for me. My wife, on the other hand, has needed another type of therapy. I think it was when I took up playing the tin whistle. It did stretch the friendship. Kind regards.
@@jasonayres I see. We all have our highs and lows, but don't take for granted what music has given to you. Mental health and joy are as important as money, if not more. I bet your musical skills have filled your soul with great moments. You are more successful than you think. Nice talk. Cheers.
1st second of the video is an indication of whats to come - ball into the box, striker volleys it into his own face 😂 but fair play to the manager ' as long as they are enjoying it and are happy I'm happy!' What a name their sriker had ' Austin Beauville' Made for stage and screen!
Nationwide was such a wonderful programme. The journalists' contributions, the filming, the gentle pace of the editing... so much more appealing than the frantic attention-seeking of so many of today's programmes.
Lovely opener. In The first four seconds you can see a kick and hope hoof, a subsequent missed header, one lad kick the ball into his own face, a hand ball, and an absent keeper.
They'll all be about 64 now.... Hardly believable they the whole team are either pensioners or just about to retire. This video (remarkably good quslity) was 49 years ago.
I was a similar age to those lads at the time this was filmed and much like them I was awful at football, also, cricket, rugby, athletics, swimming, tennis, table tennis, basketball...
Kudos to the manager and the kids for keeping spirits high.

I feel like I'm watching a Monty Python sketch. Especially with the voiceover style
"when you got it you got it"
Philosphers' Football
Goalkeeper had a Peter Shilton Admiral shirt - must cost a fortune now, specially in red (I only saw it on white).
Kind of inspiring honestly
Great kids, brilliant attitudes.
That music during the match is brilliant.
Fair play to the lads. They enjoyed it, and that's what it's all about. Wonder what they are doing now 🤔
If I was to guess, not football!
Bbc archives is so much more interesting than bbc 2024. Just report, no agenda pushing silliness.
Theyd still be able to score against André Onana
Good bunch of lads :)
Spurs development squad.
Where's the nets!
Pero siguen siendo mejores que el débil México.
This is awesome! These kids are so cool! They couldn’t care less! Hahahaha
Disgraceful, there should have been a warning at the beginning of the video regarding the hairstyles
Their was it did say 1975 at the start
Yeah, they've all got slightly long hair. MAD!
gel companies will go bancrupt this must be stoped
Far better than today's over-styled hair. Much more natural back then.
Them kids have a brilliant sense of humour.
“You won one game last year, what did you think that was down to?”
“Football” 🤣
“Do you want to be a professional?”
“Not if the shirts are this big” 😂
They're getting exercise, making friends and have a great sense of humour ... be great to see what they're up to now.
And not on the streets getting into trouble!
@@nellyfett2681well not for 90 mins every Sunday anyway
That's a modern day malaise...back then if you wanted to succeed, you needed to care..
These kids remind me of myself. I was useless at Footie and still am.
Even my nephews and nieces don't want me in their teams coz I'm so useless at footie.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah football. Small boys, jumpers for goalposts. Marvellous isn't it? Isn't it?
The enthusiasm is present within the team. That’s a good start. 🙂
That's great to see spirits still so high. Good lads
Those kids are in their 60s now !
I wonder how many will see this.
"It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game."

Some, not so.
Still, good on them 👏
good on ya. check the lads in west papua, singing is still worth something there.
What do you mean by unsuccessful? If you're still doing it after 40 years it means you're having fun and that's a success to me.

@@metjovi 🤝
I was in a team that scored 5 and conceded 111 in 22 games u-13
Good lads, good comradery, bet they were buzzing with their win!
Can we get them some nets?
Yeah, a couple of those goals looked a bit dodgy from our angle😂
Was all I was thinking
I never knew Bryan Ferry coached footy! @1:47😅

Fry and Laurie’s inspiration for their football coach sketch, never seen it before

Team talk: git aht there an' fackin' ran arahnd!!!
Fun fact the the striker is current record holder in caps for england

Good lads, fair play to em

The days when everyone who played with kids look like they play with balls
They didn’t have to do the goalie like that
Isnt the goalie in red luke littler
The other lot look like Palace
Of course, it’s easy to forget that nets weren’t invented until 1977.
Brilliant
Is this American Samoa?
