1982-10-09 Match of the Day Everton v Manchester City Chelsea v Leeds United

Match of the Day episode

[@markbunn4376]

John Bond lighting up a massive cigar on the bench at the start of the game!! Something you don't see anymore at top flight matches.

[@digeme69]

David Icke told viewers at the start of the programme that Chelsea Leeds finished 0-0, talk about a spoiler! I didn't recall Pop Robson playing for Chelsea either.

I grew up an Aberdeen fan. Always good to see the Dons beat Celtic!

Good old Steve McMahon playing, and scoring, for Everton. Ended up a bit of a hate figure with Blues when he pitched up at Liverpool but certainly someone Kendall shouldn't have got rid of.

[@seltaeb3302]

McMahon actually asked to leave Everton as he felt too much pressure & he turned down a move to Liverpool citing he wasn't ready yet & he went to Aston Villa & eventually signed to Anfield.

[@Prodigy_Fan]

@@seltaeb3302 McMahon has told the story many times that he was unhappy with the contract Everton offered as they only offered an extra tenner a week which he felt was degrading considering he was established in the team and was captain so he decided to move on. He said if Everton offered him a better deal he'd have stayed.

[@seltaeb3302]

The Lukic time wasting foul was a joke, about 4 seconds.

[@Spectrescup]

You can see much of the lower East Stand totally ignoring the match to try and goad the Leeds fans. Considering that, statistically, that's the worst Chelsea side in history they had some decent players.

They were shite that season and went down, plus it was hooligan heydays so alot of people wouldn't attend by then.

[@NOTODIVERSITY123]

@@RevStickleback the back end of 82 city were doing ok it was only because of swales not spending anymore cash after Francis left for sampdoria and bond didn't have control over who he wanted to buy as swales always wanted players he thought were good for city..82/83 season though yeh it was your correct...
