Highlights of Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City, Norwich City v Hull City and Manchester United v Blackpool. Includes a debate between Allan Mullery and Malcolm Allison.
That was absolute quality between Mullery and Allison, I remember watching this live as a kid. Great memories. These are superb uploads and in such quality - thank you so much.
Allison was a talented coach at Manchester City who knew the game, but he was never the same after appearing on the 1970 World Cup panel and becoming a regular pundit on TV. The 'Big Mal' persona was born and it took him over.
Never thought of it that way before but think you are pretty spot on with that analysis. Allison always claimed he was always promised the city job much earlier than he eventually became manager
Allison "The Manager" was a disaster twice at City. An egomaniac who ruined 2 good teams and set us back 30 years by squandering fortunes we didn't really have. Best remembered for getting 3rd Division Crystal Palace to the 1976 FA Cup Semi's. Palace were in the First Division when he took over. He did the double at Sporting Lisbon in the early 80's (and then got sacked !).
Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed watching on this miserably wet New Year's Day. That's 53 years and almost 4 months ago now. Excluding the hairstyles, narrow lapels, very-short shorts, sponsor-free shirts and old money, it would still pass as a good programme in 2024.
Allison and Mullery sound and act like typical 70s men - the time of Jack Regan and the Sweeney, where you had a fight then shook hands and laughed at the black eyes you gave each other. Alas, such a time is gone now.
Wow, great uploads, but nearly every other show contains a Tottenham match. I’m not complaining, but the Big Match definitely had their favourite teams.
@@LeighRichards27 That’s a given, but I actually meant Tottenham are featured a lot on the episodes that are here on UA-cam, not on the original programme. But I do appreciate your opinion.
@@MANCHESTER.IS.BLUE.49 Malcolm Allison.. Playing careeer: Zero club honours, zero England caps. Management achievements Plymouth Argyle: Zero. Man City: Zero (Including making a muck of a great chance to win the championship in 1972). He then spent a king's ransom on rubbish in his brief second spell there. Crystal Palace: Zero. He relegated them from the First to the Third Division in successive seasons, spending all their money on the way. Sporting Lisborn: A league and cup double - presumably because the players could not understand a word he said. He started a cock and bull story that he turned down the England job. Cock and bull because (a) the FA would never have offered him the job, and (b) because he would never have turned it down. Yes Allison was full of sh*t.
Great to see Blackpool earn a creditable draw at Old Trafford in what was a relegation year for The Seasiders. Some talent in that team too with the likes of Burns, Green, Hutchinson and Suddick.
That Perryman must have accrued a long service record with Spurs. This is from 1970. I remember watching this fare on Friday nights in either '72 or '74 and I remember Perryman for Spurs. Then 10 years later I see this English soccer fare again and its ' Oh, okay, Perryman still going with Spurs. '.
I moved from England to the US in the 80s and then back in the mid-90s. The first time I saw Frank Lampard in the 90s I thought ****, surely he's been pensioned off by now... 😂
Allison came out of this very well....mullery less so...he personally mentioned Allison's playing career managerial career....because he was hurt, yet didn't respect Allison's opinion
Loved Franny Lee, he liked his pies! & made a fortune selling toilet rolls post football. Must be the loo rolls thrown at the goalmouths in the 70s that inspired this.
Sound and picture sync not quite right but very enjoyable none the less.Alison v mullery Jimmy Hill as ref Brian Moore always a delight.Spoilt rotten again pure nostalgia wonderful.A time and an era i miss very much.🐻🐒🤗👍
It amazing how many good sides there where in the early 70s. Everton, Arsenal, Leeds, Chelsea, Mancity etc.The all tailed off badly by the mid seventies and Liverpool filled the void to dominate
Too true, no side walked away with the league title in the late 60s early 70s. Man City 68, Leeds 69, Everton 1970, Arsenal 1971 showed this. My own team Everton nosedived after two demoralising defeats in 4 days April 1971 in the FA Cup semi-final and European Cup quarter final. I always rated Martin Chivers and thought with him leading Everton's attack the key games when we didn't score, his supreme shooting and heading skills would have brought the trophies we missed out on from 1968 to 1971
Malcolm was a brilliant coach, he was years ahead of his time in coaching, training and things like diets, but he was NEVER a manager, he was too adventurous. His partnership with Joe Mercer was magical, and it worked perfectly because of the completely different styles and personas. Joe was the farther figure that kept Malcolm in toe, but on his own? No too adventurous. In the spring of 1972, City were 6 points clear at the top of the league, when it was only 2 points for a win. He went out and bought Rodney marsh, when the team didn't need him, the style and tactics changed to accommodate him, and consequently only 4 wins from the last 9 games resulted in a 4th place finish but only 1 point off Derby who won the league. Even Rodney himself admits his signature cost City the league in 1971-72.

A few things. When was the last time you saw neither goalkeeper wearing gloves? Interesting fact: East Anglia didn't get color television until 1995. 😉 Also in that match, the referee looked like he walked straight out of a Charles Dickens book. This is all great stuff though. I'm loving it!
Can someone please explain the big letter alphabet along the wall in front of the stands? I see this at a lot of the grounds in these old broadcasts & photos from the 50's thru the 70's.
They are a code for the half-time results. They appeared in that game's programme and each letter meant a match which was played at the same time. Hence, at half-time, a ballboy started to put numbers at the letters' side to make the crowd know the half-time scores.
Love big Duncan Forbes Norwich City kicking the Hull player he did it for years I can still remember 6ft 2 Duncan Forbes is after you. Better times and football
@@lennylaa1686 Trojan skinheads from an earlier time -- who knew?! A little on-line research reveals, however, that they were not the same thing as their (arguably) more lethal namesakes from the late 1970's and 1980's. Cheers!

A great debate and they shook hands. Class.

It was made by london weekend television - hence why the top london sides spurs, arsenal and chelsea featured so frequently.

First goal by Chivers was handball and Frances Lee the first serial diving Englishman of football.
Franny Lee top prize for diving
'Lee wun pen'.
Alan Mullery was spot on here .
Yep. Allison was full of sh*t.
They both had a point but Alan Mullery as player was not worth having this level of scrutiny and row about.
Mullery was a gobshite. Allison just speaking the truth here....

Plymouth Argyle: Zero.

The City fans made his life a misery by booing him and getting on his back. He had the last laugh winning medals with Forest. City sold him to Orient.
