1977 IRSL SF Bay Bombers vs. Manhattan Chiefs

[@ronbrevig7019]

Fun to watch again and memories galore.

[@dakers2052]

Brings back old memories of the 70's as a kid when on a cold winter Saturday in Seattle the family would sit around the television (after the NCAA morning football) and watch, in order, the local wrestling from the Armory (no WWE back then), roller derby (a lot of LA Thunderbirds, SF Bombers, and Texas Outlaws, followed by Saturday Matinee of old movie classics (westerns and WW2). Thanks for posting!

Oh man, used to watched this on Channel every Saturday morning! Tony Roman, O’Connell, etc.! Thanks for the memories man!❤❤❤

[@eraserfred406]

Being a ref for this must have been one of the funnest "sports" related jobs ever 😂

[@rudolphlentz4510]

Thanks Joe

[@perrybrown182]

Good grief.....O'Connell, Groll, Butler, Gammon, and Roman on the same team. That should be illegal.

So Bombers won on the final jam after clip ended?

[@drguffey]

Camera crew did not know how to cover the game ! Frustrating !

[@joelvarchol2873]

I always thought the same thing. They spend far too much time on the crowd rather than whats going on on the track.

[@drguffey]

@@joelvarchol2873 I'm talking about to camera not staying on the action the announcer is calling. Jammer trying to score at the back of the pack & camera is on front of pack. Lot's of action missed.

That must have been strange having your mother in law on the opposing team.
