Arsenal / Double Year / 1970/71 / Pt2

[@nicktheflybradley]

Hi all, so well remembered! My late parents married 15/4/50. My Dad born and raised on Plimsol Road, Arsenal fan throughout the ‘30s with 3 championships under Herbert Chapman, missed his first cup final vs Liverpool because of his wedding. May 8th 1971, their next cup final vs Liverpool again, older brothers wedding day for his first wedding. We as a family watched this live at the reception. We had moved North in 1969 and had seen them play 13 times in the north that season (I was born 1955). One home game seen visiting mu grandparents, 1 0 vs Newcastle. Charlie George goal. A wonderful season which we had to wait for Arsene Wenger to impress more. Hopefully Arteta can produce the goods this season! Nick from York

Not an Arsenal fan, but this video was great entertainment from a bygone age. Well done Arsenal; hard luck Leeds and Liverpool.

[@Romanplaystation]

Glad you enjoyed it, mate. I've recently noticed that there is a better quality upload of it on YT so if you ever fancy watching it again then I'd recommend watching that one. :)

[@steveg4334]

Brilliant. This is why I was such a football fan back in those days. Not a sniper in sight. I never missed a home game that year. Players just pick themselves up, and get on with it. No begging for cards and faking injury. Real men's game.

Hi all I was eight years old. At the parade I had my action man with his red and white kit on. That my auntie had knitted for him. Fantastic times.

[@davebofficial1582]

This is when I became a fan. What a team, the title and FA Cup in the same week. So many good players but Kennedy and George the stand outs with Armstrong. Thanks for posting

Good players in 70s arsenal are crap to day it so sad from a arsenal fan Christopher from Australia 😏

[@Romanplaystation]

@@christheobald6183 Hello, mate. Yes, we are for sure going through a really tough period at the moment. But this is the life of a football fan, eh. We have to support through thick and thin. Let's just hope our fortunes thicken up a biit sooner rather than later. 😊 Hope you had a good Christmas, and Happy New Year to you. Thanks for commenting.

[@steveg4334]

I only came across it today, and they are top again. What goes around, comes around. Not the same now of course. Too much cheating, and the commentators are so bias. I'm sure they are getting kick backs.

[@steveGrace-bm4si]

I was just too young to remember all of that my dad started taking me probably from the 1973/74 season when I was 6. That Yellow and Blue away kit in the FA Cup Final, magical, our away kit should never be another colour

[@colingoode3702]

Some really good memories here. I was behind the goal at Wembley that Charlie George scored into. I couldn't jump or celebrate too much cos I still had stiches in my side from a burst appendix op a few weeks earlier. Fabulous day out & I managed to walk home with my school mate.

[@senianns9522]

I was at Hillsboro when Stoke were running away with it! Such a delight to get the draw then the replay win! Next I had to save up for Wembley!

[@steveg4334]

I was there too. I could see the white sleeve of hand ball for the penalty from the opposite end. Villa in the replay was brilliant.

[@roytaylor6559]

Superb. Brought up a lot of emotions. I started going to Highbury in 1967 and only missed 1 home game that year at 12yrs old!!

[@Romanplaystation]

Very happy you enjoyed it, mate. I uploaded the 88/89 season too. Its another cam recording so you may be able to find better quality, but it's there if you want it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYC4n62Fmphkask Let's hope that over the next few years the Arsenal can get back to some semblance of what they used to be. Thanks for commenting.

[@roytaylor6559]

@@Romanplaystation Cheers Mate. I am sure they will. Need to get the House in order first.

[@steveg4334]

My first time to Highbury was for the Fairs cup final second leg. I saved up, and pestered me mom to let me go on my own. Didn't know where I was going, and ended up in the North Bank. What a blast. Went to every home game the following year, and they done the double. Seeing this brought it all back. WHL on the Monday. Epic.

[@John-pl8fe]

Wow the VHS review came out 18 years after Arsenal won the double.

We won the league At White Hart Lane We won the league at White Hart Lane ... Twice !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tonyhenryvii9202]

Best years with little highbury,following Arsenal.

[@normancollis5790]

Can't understand why we sold Kennedy so soon.

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

23:48 Brian Moore must have forgotten his glasses that day because it's not that hard to see the ball changes speed after it brushes Graham's right boot. Changing the playback speed to 0.75 makes it even clearer. This is probably the best replay to see the ball going in with more pace on it than it had when it left Kelly's boot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGfRgGueeMekfZY

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

Actually, changing the speed to 2.0 makes it impossible to miss! There is no doubt that George Graham touched the ball!

Love my arsenal

[@kwameaboagye121]

Arsenal winning our first doubles in 70/71. Going to our rivals Tottenham and beating them to clinch our league title for the eighth time.

[@Romanplaystation]

Hey Louis Malekani I can't reply to you, must be something in your Google plus settings. But...No, I haven't altered anything. Hey Jude, the song this comes from is a Beatles song, released in 68. Not sure, but I'd guess it's Liverpool fans maybe changing the hey jude to -'liver-poool'

[@davewilkinson4425]

such memories

[@jefersonsaloti8282]

We won the League...in this shit hole!

[@MrUnbling]

just wanna know did you put in some of the songs? I noticed the crowd song in 20:25 I thought that song was from the late 80s to early 90s lol

Who the f**k is the cameraman?. Cant even focus. Jeez.

[@Romanplaystation]

HAHA. That's on me, mate. It's a cam recording from an old VHS tape. Autofocus on my cam did me dirty.

[@markwelsh4459]

@@Romanplaystation Fair enough, enjoyed the video anyway. Cheers.
