Match of The 70s Episode 11 (Final Episode)

Final episode of the series, originally broadcast, from memory, in August 1996. Described as a 'review of the decade', much of this episode contains material from the earlier season reviews, but is certainly still a worthy addition to the series. I had to make an ugly black screen overlay at one point, because of a certain organisation's draconian copyright claim policy.

Marvellous series, football was more raw, and truly the working mans game back then.

Nice to see Colin Bell picked in the all star team. A staggeringly great footballer.

Its taken city 50yrs to find a player to get anywhere near colin bell.

Miss those days ! And speedway at Bellevue was Awsome ! Got to back soon ! Great videos ** thanks !

Paul, Thanks for this very interesting special revue of the 70s with Dennis. So many great players, teams, moments and memories! Fine work in providing this series to us.

[@jeffreyholmes4083]

Great days, players played with passion and pride for their clubs. Look at the size of the crowds. Most modern day players have little loyalty to their clubs.

*sigh* that sudden broadcast failure just before the end definitely took me back to the 70s.

Emlyn Hughes' comments on there would never be a period of domination by one club like Liverpool had from the mid 70s to the mid 80s again aged real well. Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United say hi Emlyn 👋...

[@pitchforkcustom]

when emlyn says the treble we never one will never be repeated, our domination will never be…. erm… 😂❤ good old emlyn xx

[@stamatisiliadis8844]

What great moments weve seen in this show! What great people and not only just the players ! With that football we grow up! Belle Epoc .. and...... GLORY - GLORY LEEDS UNITED .... FOR EVER :)

[@GavinWoods]

Makes me laugh when people say Steven Gerrard is Liverpool's greatest ever player. He isn't even their best midfielder.

[@chrisevans5259]

Hed be lucky to make the bench in paisleys great sides of the late 70s -early 80s......

[@mrjones29]

Maybe so but he'd get in the Liverpool all time greatest XI Liverpool players, and I'm not a Liverpool fan.

I was a Manchester Utd schoolboy of the 1970s, and my God if wish Terry McDermott played for my team instead of the bitter reds of Anfield. Guy was a genius on the ball. Don't give any shit about football was better and more skilful in today's game, you clearly hadn't lived in the era of the swaggering 70s. Every team had an outrageously gifted footballer.

Great videos! Please upload the rest of the 70s 80s and 90s as full videos if you can!

[@paulmagicflute]

Hello. I only have the Match of The 70s series. There were a few episodes made of a 'Match of the 80s', presented by Danny Baker, but I lost the tape. I do aim to upload all the 70s ones complete, but one particular copyright holder (UEFA) is constantly blocking the entire videos, just because of tiny snippets of European matches being shown within them, and it's a pain having to then block the offending parts out, and then re-uploading them.

[@chrisbenson1656]

@@paulmagicflute thanks for reply. Shame about the European clips. My 7 year old son has started watching the 1970/71 episode this morning, I'm educating him!

[@paulmagicflute]

@@chrisbenson1656 The strange thing is, you can find entire European matches on KZbin, which users have uploaded, untouched by UEFA's copyright claims. I don't understand how KZbin works though, in that regard. Showed these videos to my 7 year old as well! Obviously even 10 years ago seems like ancient history to a 7 year old, let alone 40+. I wish the BBC would repeat this series, as it would be good to record it in better quality. I'm not holding my breath though.

No Heighway and Clemo? Apart from that, can't really argue with that line up. Could pick several players in each position. Great decade!

Football hooliganism was used as a safety valve by the establishment. Just imagine if all that working class anger and organisation had gone into left wing politics! Once you got to the late 1980's and Communism was no longer a threat, and capitalism could see a way of making loads of money out of football through broadcasting it was clamped down on.
