I remember being a 11yr old not taking this storm seriously trying to be a "man" amd thinking it's not all that. Then as I was walking past one of the neighbours tall wooden fences opposite the road and it's just tore off. Imagine you tear a A4 paper in half lengthways. Right opposite me and it flew off into the wind. Then I realised this storm is deadly and can kill people. Luckily home was 50 yards away but I should never have gone out on an errand. Must have been about 8pm.

When football and FA cup meant alot

Definitely one of the least scary episodes of 999. Most episodes featured school activity weeks or sports days gone wrong. This show was the reason that when I was 10 the thought of going abseiling put the fear of God into me!

Honestly this show is the reason an entire generation of millennials have such bad anxiety 🙂‍↕️🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Sea ford not sea fud.

“Name” 😂😂

Overrated referee one of the worse

Elleray rarely got flustered. 22 angry men hurling insults and intimidation he wasn't having any of it. People at the time considered him strict but he was very fair but didn't let players take the piss with flying tackles and abuse.

Seaford is still as sleepy and 25 years behind the rest of the world which is part of the charm. I last went there during the first month of the pandemic and you could hear a pin drop.

So funny😂. This show was hilarious

this is one of the most insane things i have ever seen.

I loved football games in the 80s and 90s there were much simpler and more addictive. Nowdays they are just pages and pages of stats & graphs. Sometimes simplicity is best.

I lived in Seaford in 1994 and remember hearing about this in the local news.

Remember it like yesterday, couldn’t get tickets for filbert street but watched it on the big screen at Adams park

Adam's was just trying to get sent off so he could partake in his favorite pass time of drink driving through people's front gardens. George Graham didn't want to be caught on film handling brown envelopes

I've lost my love for football recently, but it's stuff like this that restores my love for the game. The magic of the cup!

How the world has changed. U can see the British stiff upper lip. Compare that to today’s behaviour. Perhaps our connection to the rest of the world via the internet, means behaviours have developed to what they are today. Such a huge change social media has made.

Gosh she should reconsider if she should be driving.

Oh shut up haha

This was one of the more tamer episodes of 999, I’m sure they would have been fine, the water was that shallow they could stand up in the pool to push the car lol

Obviously they used an old car for the reconstruction, the actual car was brand new

IT'S ALL KICKING OFF IN SEAFORD.

Mr GangWar was`nt expecting that .

Old ppl

Comedy gold - 'it was just like the war" and "my artificial leg is heavy as its full of water"

Did he say "I have a aluminium leg, don't worry, it won't rust!"? Always look on the bright side of life!

I remember playing this game. Used to restart it over and over again until Mike Conroy was available for transfer

Both teams wearing the same kit?

Still kills me now. Funny as anything.

I just had to hear the end of the theme tune again as it reminded me of watching this with my family when I was very young. Strange how memories like this just pop into your head.

Just a thought. If that car that crashed was a modern day Electric Vehicle, those two would have been electrocuted and died because water is a conductor of electricity......

Rock and Roll

Edith, you absolute legend 😂

Buerky McBuerkface

North west unaffected

‘Meeeeeeemoriiiiieeeeees, like the colouuuuur of the wiiiiiiiiind’

Poor people the scary things they went through

I remember the storm in 87 I was 7 at the time

Why don’t they ever show Beardsley’s disallowed GOAL from 88 Poor refereeing never gets mentioned

How do I play this now ? Can I buy it anywhere ? My childhood in one video

Does the # 999 have a significance? Is it the same as the USA's 911?

I believe it's mandatory that every true disaster story must have an early labor/delivery story before it can be aired! (Actually the low atmospheric pressure during a weather event does bring on an early onset to labor.)

Did Shevchenko not score in the second leg?

This Alan Patridge uncut footage is sublime

Tidy

What a classic. Brings back memories amazingly my most enjoyable although now is the most successful in terms of national stage

Did you cut this out of the full episode to share it, cause it’s comedy gold? lol.

Sporting Spotlight: David Elleray In February 1989 you famously wore a microphone while refereeing Millwall v Arsenal. The subsequent documentary caused a media frenzy and officials haven't been recorded since. Do you regret taking part in the project? It was a shame the programme was corrupted. The original show looked at violence towards referees, particularly on local parks. They filmed me officiating the top game of the day as well as a local referee to see how we were both treated. I saw a preview which was very balanced, but it was then hijacked to become a witch-hunt of Arsenal. Bleeps were put in to give the impression that players were swearing when they hadn't. They only showed the occasions when there was some sort of dispute between the players and me. They edited out all the good exchanges and gave the impression that Arsenal had behaved appallingly. They destroyed the opportunity for people to have a really good behind the scenes look at refereeing. A balanced documentary would have given them greater access to referees wearing microphones in the future, which hasn't happened since. And it probably won't for a long time.

Anyone else keep coming back to this and is also scared of the tune as a kid lol
