The essence of the FA cup here Would not happen these days.

I used to watch this with my great grandmother. She was born in 1906 and loved to watch this show right until she passed away in 1998. It used to be in the Saturday evening slot at Svt 2 back home in Sweden during the 1980's. Back then, the show reminded us a bit of our own village and the small farms surrounding it. The show was'nt as violent back then, compared to these days.

Classic

Why did they shut down the turnstiles with 30 minutes to go when the ground was not full and thousands were locked out?

We cannot reopen the mines...but we can try and recreate the spirit of those villages and the camarderie...

The fa cup is a sad shadow of games like these & no replays either. Let's exclude the Premier League & the rest can play how it was.

Back in the good ol days of the Hard Leeds fans, If there wasnt any away fans to beat on? The cops were a good replacement!

Eye . I'll not work down pit .

I was there straight behind the goal which Brendan Ormsby scored in. I can't believe it was 37 years ago it only seems like yesterday ❤

I was in the south stand , we reached the semis & got beat by Cov . I went to every round , Telford away at the Hawthorns was up first then Wigan away . What a day .

My 21st birthday absolute brilliant game.Remember being in kop going barmy.Happy days.

It was a great game I also remember there was a lot of trouble at the game as well

(Leeds fan). I couldn't get in anywhere else and ended up in the away end, keeping quiet when the goals went in. I was a tad nervous.

Very interesting

It was brill in the kop start at one end and see where you end up at final whistle

Back then there was Nothing like scenes in the kop when we scored a goal. Pandemonium. I was in the lowfields for many seasons and it was nuts in there but the kop was something else.

I was one month old here

Oh my

My wife and I were at this game. She went into labour about 20 minutes before the final whistle. We waited until the final whistle and went straight to maternity where my son was born.

i was ther in the Kop aged 20..im 56 now! That was the start of leeds come back into the top flight. Five years later league champions of England! Immense times to be a leeds fan!

HOW was Martin Butler's goal " offside" he was clearly ON SIDE 🫣🙄

Edited in Bradford? We didn't get the Gills lineup and our goal was only shown as a reply! I was at this match.. Obviously the whole ground if different now but I'm surprised at just how different.

Our most expensive player here was Keith Walwyn who cost the princely sum of £ 4,000 surely right up there as one of the greatest ever 'bargain buys' an all time legend with the City faithful Keith always gave 100% no matter what the match or score much loved and missed so much more. 🙏♥️

Arsenal's team cost £4m, the past is a different country!

Bart, late seventies ad se.

York outclassed Liverpool here.

Parkinson r.i.p. a professional Yorkshireman who lived in the Thames Valley.

Old Emmerdale Farm brings back so many happy memories of my Nan. Sat beside her feet watching this a kid, and then going in car with dad to bring her home. Miss her…

York put shit loads of hay down on the pitch to try and combat the frost... it worked and thank god. I remember this game crystal clear. Who could forget it!. I also recoded it from MOTD and had a copy on V2000 (i.e. not VHS or beta!) but my player broke, so thanks a million for posting this, great memories

The real tragedy of this video is seen in the commenters, who are sharply polarized between those who (rightly) decry the thuggery of the unions and those who (just as rightly) condemn the brutality of the police (and of course, the media, who always get it wrong). Instead of universal agreement that *_both_* sides are wrong, people are split into opposing camps, each insisting that their "side" is absolutely right. The result is that the fundamental principle - namely, that coercion in all its forms is absolutely wrong - is utterly lost in the unending controversy. The country is at war with itself, and it's happening everywhere, in every nation. And the root of it all is the universal belief that that the political state is the answer to every problem. Mark Knopfler was spot on when he wrote the song _Iron Hand_ memorializing the Battle of Orgreave, whose final line is, _"We haven't changed since ancient times."_

All the good ones come from Yorkshire.....

DON'T YOU KNOW YOUR CLUB COLOURS LAD !

At least Closey embraced his baldness - unlike the Chairman. Talk about shite combovers !!

Boycs didn’t have an uncertain future he went on and made a fortune talking on the game and still does writing about it. Sir Geoffrey Boycott an absolute legend. ❤️

Only remembers ... Thanks for who uploaded this ..

Extremely poignant to see and hear players/commentators sadly no longer with us. Players like Bairstow, Capel and Carrick and commentators Richie Benaud, Ray Illingworth and Ted Dexter.

Was such a fun little circuit

Very moving . Those mining communuties were special places till thatcher ripped the heart and soul from em . Didnt realise how 'barnsley' Hemsworth folk sound .

Thatcher = devil, greatest contribution to mankind was to have died

The police were only doing their job.

Why did Seth escape through the window?

I was there. What a wonderful day.

whelans luck was alll in the league cup, he never scored in the fac.

Snowy pitch and arsenal loss

I had jokes about Yorkie bars when arsenallost

RIP Dave shearer. One of my all time favourite strikers.

Coincidentally, these 2 teams met 10 years earlier in the FA Cup as well. York got a draw at Highbury in the original game but Arsenal won the replay with Brian Kidd scoring a hat trick.

WIsh he could see how much we all love his son.

Just love watching these old Liverpool games it just takes me back to been a kid
