What an amazing atmosphere, this was when FA Cup semi-finals were momentous occasions with both teams just one step from Wembley. Playing the semi-finals at Wembley ruined the magic.
These were the days....My boyhood favourite players.loved this newcastle team.went on to play Liverpool in the final losing 3-0. Supermac what a striker👏👏👏Brian Moore was the best football commentator of all time....used to love watching The Big Match.
"We've got Terry Terry Hibbitt on the wing on the wing, We've got Terry Terry Hibbitt on the wing on the wing, Terry Terry Hibbit, Terry Hibbit on the wing"....what a ball!
I was 13 and in amongst that crowd in the kop with me granda.... What a weekend me granda got a speeding ticket heading down he said as long as we win he couldn't give a shite! The rest was history!
Supermac probably in the top three strikers ever at Newcastle, such happy memories, shame they didn't turn up for the final, great days,hopefully days like this not far away
Back in the days of terracing 50,000 crammed into one end terrace.. Mental times ,but awesome to witness.. The Early Toon Army . A sight to behold... Noise of a thunder storm , The smell of cheap burgers piss stained bogs and bovril... Intimidating and mind blowing...A natural force unleashed to the public !! At this time in history most people were shit scared of Newcastle and its people... Fierce Loyal and no time for fools !!!Newcastle United was a massive release for the frustrations of the overlooked North East folk...Tough people who learned to overcome any hardship... Hence the saying .Fuck with one Geordie ,you fuck with them all !!! As a life long fan . I am more proud of the support and the Geordie nation as a whole.. Especially today as Greedy Oxygen thieves have hijacked our team club, community !!! Shame on the 1%ers and fuck them!!!! They will eventually crash and burn as all things come full circle... This time was probably The pinnacle of N.U.F.C. As a champion of working class folk...
@@1990-t1j There was thousands of counterfeit tickets for the Kop and NUFC fans, 50k a bit too much i think, my brother was in there and they estimated over 30k in that end alone.Very feasible in those days.
Incredible atmosphere, different sections of the ground singing ‘United’ and ‘Howay the lads’ out of synch. Was it a working class club? Most of the fans were, and filled the Leazes End not the Gallowgate like today. But even then there was much unrest and regular chants of sack the board. There were rumours of corruption and gate receipts deliberately low and the feeling it was a cash cow for the Directors like Lord Westwood, McKeag and Seymour if I remember rightly. They had all been sleeping since 1955 (1969 was an anomaly) and unbeknown to all the fans worse was to come, Gordon Lee, Richard Dinnis and relegation due decades of mismanagement. It wasn’t until John Hall stepped in that the giant came to life and briefly flourished under Keegan and Robson.
@Mini van The capacity of the Kop at Liverpool was around 27,000 at its peak. Some of these estimates for the open end at Sheffield are ridiculous. The attendance for the entire ground was 55,000 that day.
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos 'But they had a further 2 opportunities to put it right.' 2 opportunities that should not have happened. Newcastle should have been thrown out of the competition.
Was 11 years old at this game, very lucky boy to be there, Burnley was unlucky played really well.. But with Mac in your side anything was possible... Still my fav Newcastle number 9.. To think we now have joelinton wearing that number 😔
,, in peace Terry Hibbitt ,what agreat player ,has there been a better left foot half volleyed pass since i doubt it .Terry had a great left foot,seen him play many times for Newcastle, and Gateshead ,Malcolm Macdonald,was a great striker,he had a great left foot aswell,how much would they be worth in todays transfer market.
I was in there that day with Burnley and it was horrible. Packed in tight and it was so hot no-one felt like singing and "Howay The Lads" echoing around the stadium. It was like playing away at Newcastle.
Greg AVFC 69/70 Jones I can’t remember how exactly it happened but I was in the Leppings Lane End along with a huge number of fellow Newcastle supporters. There was no trouble, no antagonism, just a great afternoon out.
I was 11y old in the leppings lane end and I remember my dad throwing me over the wall onto the pitch along with a few others.. had to sit behind the goals until the geordie s were walked across the pitch to there own end..
FA Cup semi final day used to be a massive occasion , I used to love this day with packed attendances and incredible atmosphere. The brainless FA have ruined it by moving these games to Wembley.
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos Aye! He should have done his talking on the Wembley turf! Pity cos I had a B&W dog at the time who I named Geordie even though I favoured Leeds and Blackpool!
I'm an old git - and I'm more a rugby player than a football player but I know these players first names - I couldn't name a single one of the current crop. The players have moved away from the plebs - I remember seeing Iam McFaul and Bobby Moncur at Seghill big club (as opposed to the Comrades) they were still on the same planet as their fans.
Thats when football was great no soft puffs rolling around players giving there all on both side never say die i was in the kop never see a game like that anymore the greatest supporters bar none and still are toon toon black white army
I was 8 years old at the time living in Nottingham running around with my Newcastle shirt on constantly getting abuse of Forest fans who thought I was a County supporter. Never lost love for Newcastle United. I'm 57 now. I remember this game because my step dad was from County Durham who was a miner in Worksop. Avid Newcastle United nut to this day I am. Supermac is a legend
Not sure there's even a word destructive enough to properly describe what Liverpool did to them in the final. Doubt anybody in cup final history has ever given their opponents as much motivation to win as MacDonald's big gob did.
What an amazing atmosphere, this was when FA Cup semi-finals were momentous occasions with both teams just one step from Wembley. Playing the semi-finals at Wembley ruined the magic.
That pass from Hibbett to MacDonald for the second Utd goal was absolutely sensational.
Finish was super too.
Ian mcfaul,I saw one of the greatest saves ever at Newcastle, what a great goal keeper
I love the excitement in Brian Moore's voice when Supermac scores the 2nd. Best commentator by far. RIP.
When Brian got excited he got excited. You should hear him in '69 commentaries you'd think a nuke had just gone off!
Yep, great commentary. Seemed to be his way in the late 60s and early 70s!
These were the days....My boyhood favourite players.loved this newcastle team.went on to play Liverpool in the final losing 3-0.
Supermac what a striker👏👏👏Brian Moore was the best football commentator of all time....used to love watching The Big Match.
No atmospheres like that anymore. Love that Newcastle strip. Supermac real 70s icon, great times
Unbelievable atmosphere compared to today, that Hillsborough Kop looks fantastic without the roof
Incredible. Imagine how much more noise you'd hear if there was a roof??!!
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos our fans looked amazing, id like to see that upgraded to HD to see how it looks
"We've got Terry Terry Hibbitt on the wing on the wing, We've got Terry Terry Hibbitt on the wing on the wing, Terry Terry Hibbit, Terry Hibbit on the wing"....what a ball!
Thank you I was a 9 yrs old from supermac to issak toon till I die
Yes I was there what a day Super Mac Brilliant… Terry Hibbit RIP
12 years old one of the greatest days of my life im now 60 fantastic times toon till i die.
I was 13 and in amongst that crowd in the kop with me granda.... What a weekend me granda got a speeding ticket heading down he said as long as we win he couldn't give a shite! The rest was history!
Ha ha. Brilliant
The EPL and importation of foreign players and managers has a lot to answer for. So much better in '74.
Little Terry . what a ball on the half volley,, well done supermac and the geordie army .
Amazing to think that semi-finals weren't even shown live in those days! Only the final!!
Supermac probably in the top three strikers ever at Newcastle, such happy memories, shame they didn't turn up for the final, great days,hopefully days like this not far away
Shivers up my spine

Tudor Hibbitt Supermac, my fav FA cup goal ever.👏
Happy days ... Stilll waiting for a fucking cup...
1969 Inter-City Fairs Cup?
The day I started supporting Newcastle. That support was immense.
Newcastle fans they're just better than other fans
Newcastle fans put pressure on their teams due to unrealistic expectatons
Great footage. Loved watching Newcastle in this game. Forgot how well they played in this to reach Wembley.
You mean like after their fans had stopped the game against Nottingham Forest?
I had the same. But that does not let those Newcastle fans out. Nottingham Forest FC were the inocent victims that day
@@thevillaaston7811 there was 2 replays you fucking helmet. Going down again lmao
@@thevillaaston7811 That day - perhaps. But they had a further 2 opportunities to put it right. They failed.

Jimmy Smith was my fav. Great player Jinky.
That kop is immense
What did it hold? Massive banking
This was the match Oz talked about in Auf Weidersen Pet. 😅😅😅

That ball by hibbit. Wow. Football was great in the 70s
Day after my BIRTHDAY NICE PRESENT
Burnley fans packed into the Leppings Lane Death Trap behind left-hand goal.
I was in there that day with Burnley and it was horrible. Packed in tight and it was so hot no-one felt like singing and "Howay The Lads" echoing around the stadium. It was like playing away at Newcastle.

@@GeordieBoy1955 More exaggeration. There were just a few Newcastle fans in that end. I was there. And there was trouble.
1990 that was not my experience.
I was 11y old in the leppings lane end and I remember my dad throwing me over the wall onto the pitch along with a few others.. had to sit behind the goals until the geordie s were walked across the pitch to there own end..
Went to the final 18 year old never forget ❤ Leicester mag
Mc Faul was the MOM
What would Malcolm McDonald ( Super Mac ) be worth today
Super Mac Super STAR how many goals ave u scored SO FAR ??
Ps official attendence 55 K.??. A lot more than that in ground.
You'd certainly think so!
FA Cup semi final day used to be a massive occasion , I used to love this day with packed attendances and incredible atmosphere. The brainless FA have ruined it by moving these games to Wembley.
Supermac talked a great final against Liverpool but when it came to it he was silently anonymous.
I've read that his patta really pissed the nufc players off...
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos Aye! He should have done his talking on the Wembley turf! Pity cos I had a B&W dog at the time who I named Geordie even though I favoured Leeds and Blackpool!
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos I guess that Malcolm Mcdonald is not the only crazy mixed-up individual out there!
I remember my old man telling me that only made Liverpool more determined to beat them in the final
Super Mac was the best header of the ball i ever saw possibly only Shearer came close
Come on Burnley, I'm sure you can finally win this game nearly 50 years on.
One last, big effort.
.......damn, not again!
I was a young 15 year Claret at that game and though Super Mac scored 2, I was proud of the Clarets
Before my time Eddie but the highlights and fans of that vintage say you were the better side. Thanks for posting and I hope you're well.
noble deserved a red for his comb-over
Great game incredible atmosphere, proper ball proper pitch.......my dad in crowd, sound like a dinosaur😞

Leighton James suffered another semifinal defeat on the same ground two years later
Super Mac amazing lost my shoe but hay ho ❤️
55,000 ? More like 155,000 !
And the away end gans daft.
1955 ring any bells.Haway the lads.
The ball by Hibbert for the 2nd goal was different class.
B.F.C 💜💙
Better days. And the players were actually British. 😊
Thats when football was great no soft puffs rolling around players giving there all on both side never say die i was in the kop never see a game like that anymore the greatest supporters bar none and still are toon toon black white army

They got battered in the final by Liverpool

McDonald said big things before his arsenal debut an lost at home to Bristol city an gave it large about Ipswich in 78. Didn’t have much luck
