I was a troublesome teenager when this was filmed and tomorrow turn 50😭😭😭 Thought it would never happen but I’m so nostalgic for the past that it physically hurts🥺 So grateful to those that took and share videos and photos of the 80’s from the areas I used to know so well. I grew up in Littlehampton but last time I went back it was horrible coz all my favourite places have been destroyed 😔

Me again! We would love to be able to use this footage for our Worthing FC documentary

I deliver around this area regularly. I'm 41 and remember these days. I lived at 103 Loxwood Avenue, near Broadwater. What I find striking is how few cars are on the roads. No traffic! Look at all those parking spaces! Today I sit in traffic for what seems a lifetime only to arrive at the address and find there's absolutely no where to park. Crazy. The world and it's mother needs an SUV. I remember the roads being quieter but thought it was the Mandela Effect. No. The roads were empty when I was a kid.

I watched this on Danny Baker's Freak Football years ago on VHS .This clip is still a classic whenever I watch it be it on VHS or KZbin .

I lived along Broadwater Road in the mid 70’s in a converted into flats Edwardian mansion. Damp and dingy the basement flat was a haven for the likes of me. Blink and you will miss it. 😎

You just drove past the house where I grew up..124 Offington Drive..it's where I saw a ghost no joke

I remember this vividly and have often looked out for it. Brian Moore's commentary on point.

Back in the time when it used to snow in the UK

What a game. The Baseball Ground was infamous as a mud bath.

The ground was a mud bath 😮

I’m a Derby fan but Spurs first goal was superb

Very good however the general standard of matches was very boring and poor (compared with today) due to pitches and general fitness of the players

Wasn't a "miss." He botched it before he shot it.

RIP Franny - fantastic memory of that day.

"They are unbelievably smooth in their movement" Anyone remember when B Davies said this?? Game/team

Groundsman wears a suit and tie carrying a pot of white paint and brush. The Battle of the Somme had better conditions.

When men were MEN!!!!!! Not those twats who roll over for a little push!!!!!

Its nice looking back to a time when football players could throw a decent punch. In the past couple of decades we've had to make do with Lee Bowyer throwing handbags at thin air type punches.

None LFC fans singing YNWA seems strange

What's not so well known is that the fight started Lee's contractions a month early.

When football was real....

Anyone else looking for an old number plate or late relative? 😢

03:49 - Chas and Dave on at the Pavillion- right cockney knees up on the South Coast!

Peter Noble R.I.P 🏐🥅 B.F.C.

I just met my wife at the time stayed in Bedford Row drank in the boat and anchor great days

My dad grew up in this time in Worthing and my grandfather alike, it’s kind of weird to me how many of the old men in this video would have served in the Second World War and wars in that time period and saw active service / duty in the Great British Empire.

WH smiths is about the only shop still there today. Bejam became Iceland.

How strange finding this now and seeing comments from 14 and 13 years ago ... great great game

Wayne Mardle and Mensur Suljovic brought me here

It's the same but it's different?

RIP BALD EAGLE 🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤

This was the first away game I went to

Great video! Grew up in the 80s/90s in Grove Road off BW Green and would do this walk through Broadwater to Downsbrook and then St. Andrews every school day :) Thanks for the memories, love it.

Bruce Rioch Was an awesome player

Is it just me or were the nets wider back then?

Thank you! Very interesting. My mother moved down to Shoreham-by-Sea at around this time (or a few years earlier) and I used to pop along on the Southdown bus to shop in Worthing. I remember mostly the pedestrianized center, and some of the narrow streets around. I'd get off the bus and walk along a street with an excellent bookshop and some charity shops.I was last there at least 17 years ago. This video reminded me of the curse of driving in the southeast, especially along the coast--traffic jams, too much parking, and roadworks! Your video was very nostalgic for me.

Seeing Smiths with the old frontage is quite a nostalgia rush.

Beautiful town of Worthing. Marine drive and the pier is the best.

Oh my god Im 14 and I drive down there every Saturday morning to get to martial arts thats so cool Also my friends parents own a shop called the piggery there and its so cool to see what it used to look like Like 20 years ago

Great video of Offington and Durrington, I didn’t even know there were dashcam videos of the roads back then. There are some transformations on every road and some businesses that were there are no longer trading. Great to see my hometown’s history. Thank you for the video.

Great video of Worthing, the video is very interesting and is now different to what it was before. This place has transformed and this video brings back lots of memories as life was different back then. Thank you for the video.

Pure, raw passion.

Absolutely

2 clubs with all sorts of history, especially the 70s, struggling to make it in the modern world. They were massive then

Proper football back then.

Spot the difference to now.

amazing! every second has something of interest! Lovely. Magic

PROPER FOOTBAL, NONE OF YOUR NANCY BOY, LIMP WRISTED, CHINLESS WONDER PISH OF 2020's

When it used to snow

This is awesome 😆
