I had that Palace top as a kid, replete with yellow numbers on the back, not because I supported them - I'm Tottenham - but because it was fucking beautiful! Palace should bring it back. Also, Don Rogers - I forgot about him. He was like a gunslinger or something!

[@shakespearo]

I hated those Palace colours at the time and I still hate them now. The bright red and blue of today are much nicer.

[@bekindunlimited]

I think PAT JENNINGS was the best Keeper of all time ....and one the nicest people you could ever meet

[@catofong6905]

Superb keeper. God, we had some rancid haircuts in them days mind

[@mod7930]

Love that Palace kit. Reference 102 on the Subbuteo team chart.

[@GazzaJAnimal]

Pat Jennings was a great goalkeeper. But those sideburns. They were so big they must have had their own postcode!

[@oldmanc2]

Those sideburns stopped some goal attempts!

[@jerrylott4465]

His hands were like shovels

[@markkavanagh4562]

The big match was a london footy show thats why they are all london clubs, we had kick off in the north west

[@jerrylott4465]

It was in the West Country too

[@halfordslain7477]

Star Soccer in the Midlands

[@LED1512]

Amazing goals. Football was soooo much better then.

[@Altatude]

Bernard Joy is my great Grandad

[@danrichardson5838]

Bernard Joy to those in the know was the epitome of a gentleman footballer. I think he may have been the last amateur to play for England. To play at Arsenal so soon after the Chapman era must have been awe inspiring. If you're related you should be very proud.

[@mickjanssens]

Is he? I’m not sure I know who you are? No profile pic you see

[@TheAmbienteer]

Pat Jennings x

[@TheAmbienteer]

I scored against Phil Parks x

[@sallysmith1484]

Pat never wore a wig. You're thinkinging about his friiend Gary Numan.

[@martinryan2370]

What's shane McGowan doing on the panel lol 🤭

[@billsuave8986]

Why cant you buy a wig like Pat's any more

[@gregod806]

Do they do Acrylic syrups anymore ?🤣

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

4:42 That took a slight deflection(you can hear it more than see it) and it wasn't a particularly outstanding goal. That surely wasn't the fifth best goal seen on ITV in 1973.

[@adrianpilcher703]

LWT

[@paulflah4562]

Good grief the 70s were so boring and dull, no real colour in life as well as on the telly. No wonder hooligansism was so rife

[@mindyourownbusinessfatty]

From the golden age of football, before greed and private shareholding took over.

[@nfelvis68]

Rogers deserved it for two reasons...first he looked like a porn star...and second on a pitch like that muddy his strip was completely clean!

[@oldmanc2]

Lol!!

[@adrianpilcher703]

Same at Wembley 1969 League Cup Final. 3rd goal end of extra time in the mud, and absolutely spotless.

[@gregod806]

Looking decidedly like Ron Jeremy in the inset 🤣

[@bettebleu6065]

I still despise the BRANDING of teams shirts...this was a joy to watch again...samsung, emirates, nike..rot in hell

[@yggdrasil9039]

Neoliberal corporate crap. Bring back actual sovereign nations.

[@peterh1353]

Pat's hair has a "satire this matey" look about it.

[@gregod806]

🤣

[@gregod806]

It's Acrylic and he must have nicked Supermac's lamb chop sideburns to boot 🤣

[@andrewbarker4986]

no tattoos and players from the British Isles

[@johndelve]

Don Rogers was one of the best footballers I ever saw in the flesh. Magnificent player.

[@flynnterry9848]

Great player don . Remember him tearing into teams on his own

[@stumbling]

The state of the pitch on that Rogers goal. Christ! There's one thing that's certainly improved immeasurably over the years.

[@adrianpilcher703]

Watch him grace a quagmire at Wembley in Swindon's 3-1 League Cup Final 1969 over Arsenal. Tremendous in extra time.

[@mickjanssens]

Do find it weird my Great Grandad is on this; Never net Bernard Joy, but I can see the resemblance between him and my Granduncle Chris

[@doyoumind9356]

Hair was very different in 1973

[@muttley9520]

We had a teacher who looked like Jimmy Hill! You can imagine the stick he got :).

[@gregod806]

What's Jimmy got on his Gunga Din? almost a glove or sock as a chin warmer 🤣

[@Inglese001]

6:07 What a wonderful player Stan Bowles was!

[@adeh503]

Pats hair is like a very rough ocean

[@SavoirLife]

Chinny Hill brings back memories

[@tone3817]

The footie was great but the fashions & hairstyles were just horrendous... Long live the 70s.

[@stumbling]

And it's Pratt with the long ball up to Pratt… inside to Pratt… through-ball to Pratt… back out to Pratt…

[@astonmartin4360]

I was there.Blimey I am old.Don Rogers was brilliant.

[@adrianpilcher703]

Arguably the best English player never to be capped.

[@martyndavid2094]

We have lost our skill set in England how many of today’s players could score goals like these on bad muddy pitches like that? And remember that ball was heavy

[@glenmorgan4597]

Went that Palace game ,was 11, ended 3-2

[@dac545j]

Crikey! 50 years?

[@philipmorrison2645]

The late great Brian Moore. One of the best TV Sportscasters of all time !!!

[@BrooklynJackBlue]

Jimmy Hill, aka Phil's best impression, and Big Pat, aka Phil's favorite goalie. COYS!

[@paulbradshaw303]

Wonderful time capsule of early 70s Britain....

[@traceyhudson2463]

Hang on a minute - these are all Cockney club goals lol

[@markparris3890]

It was when ITV regions did their own football programmes. I lived in Newport Pagnell (picking up Anglian Television only) and had to endure Norwich and Ipswich matches endlessly. Used to love staying at my Nan’s in Watford because you got to see the London clubs play and got Golden Goals with Brian Moore.

[@gregod806]

@Ashley Hyne🤣

[@BrooklynJackBlue]

Look at Big Pat! Love the man! That's a style that needs to come back!

[@DavidWilliams-hy1qk]

Sideburns. Very popular in early 70s

[@999DaveUK]

This was a regional selection. No northern teams considered. Just appears to be London clubs!

[@adrianpilcher703]

London Weekend Television

[@999DaveUK]

@@adrianpilcher703 Then it should be called Southern Golden Goals.... or Golden Goals of London....

[@flatearther5042]

Every one a London club player l

[@adrianpilcher703]

It was The Big Match on London Weekend Television (LWT), that's why.

[@thisiszaphod]

Forgot how BORING Jimmy Hill was.

[@Keithbarber]

He was a good presenter, but he could waffle on

[@Shitsthebed]

The pitches😱😱😱
