THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR THESE LOVELY SEVENTY GAMES.

[@classicfootballmatches6167]

Glad you like them!

I would have been there at New Writtle Street aged 18 with my dad Norman Rodie and friends. What a memory and a blast from the past.. Felt really disappointed with the final result.

[@CARLIN4737]

My god like a different planet the early 70s.....

[@user-qx8bk3vx2g]

Such lovely innocent times

[@jasonparfitt5936]

Went to the Chelmsford vIpswich game I was 6 . I believe there was over 16,000 in attendance .

[@timphillips9954]

This was the season before I started watching the Albion. You can see the support that Brighton had in those days. The Goldstone held well over 30,000. The ground looks packed. There must have been 33 / 35000 jammed in!

[@michaelbrown-yi3qm]

went to this game,as a 12 year old.stood in the northeast corner..just remember being really cold..

[@zxz1]

Great footage from Chelmsford

[@4evaclapham]

great rough house stuff, Sperrit started it

[@roderickscott7429]

has David Ellorry seen the Brighton v Chelsea game ? in the interests of balance he should after his verdict on the 1970 FA Cup final replay, under todays stricter conditions anyone can see a few more red cards would have been dished out.

[@yippyialeftside8351]

great

[@richardgriffiths6989]

As was always the case with Jimmy Hill, one just wanted him to shut up

[@roderickscott7429]

42/ 43 mins - when did stoke and man city meet in LC semi final ?

[@ianclarke1852]

1963-64

[@MrSniperfox29]

Back when you were allowed to retaliate to being hit

[@paulburns-dt9eq]

I don't think Jimmy Hill should give up his day job. Ken Wolstenholme should have commentated instead. Much better.

[@Spectrescup]

Wolstenholme was a BBC man. Hill didn't join the BBC till years later.

[@stephengoulding1595]

Different TV channel. Brian Moore was the best football commentator on TV in my opinion.

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

@@stephengoulding1595second only to the late, great John Motson

[@Jefferson1969-u4s]

Jimmy Hill was a pain in the ass. A self righteous and holier than thou pedant

[@josephjames4326]

Wolstenholme was rubbish

[@timphillips9954]

Osgood was miles off side, lol.
