Saint and Greavsie 9th May 1987

Saint and Greavsie 9th May 1987 featuring Howard Kendall Ian Rush Burnley v Orient Coventry v Spurs

[@whouster]

Saint & Greavsie were absolute legends - both as players and as a double-act on TV. I was too young to see them play, but as a teenager in the 80s, this was THE football show. Saint was such a natural host, and Greavsie's incisive and always-witty contributions was the perfect formula. RIP two very special gentlemen.

Thanks for uploading, really wish ITV would show reruns of Saint and Greavsie.

+LongevityMUFC Me too - they show The Big Match again now, but S. & G. was the most entertaining football show ever!

[@garymacdonald7165]

Sad that these 2 legends passed away this year (2021)

[@murchuan8782]

3 great strikers (2 of them out and out record goal scorers) in the one studio presenting the show and being a guest.... chatting away... and you know they have all walked the walk...they have all done it on the field and even the questions they ask are sensible and insightful...class

[@mrkipling2201]

Crazy i thought at the time Burnley were done for and now look at them!! I don't support them but I'm glad there doing well a proper football club

[@thelstanedwardsson4374]

RIP Saint and Greavsie. 😢 Two legends of Football and TV - two great characters. First time I saw this interview with Rushy. Seemed a humble chap for a Top pro back then. COYS

Its funny in hindsight, that Turf Moor was regarded as a top flight stadium.

[@nikreece6295]

Even though I'm a Liverpool fan...in some way I feel for Everton missing out on the Europe..Howard Kendall in fact left Everton this same season...lt was sad to see rushie leave lfc too...Also Elton Welsby interviewing howard kendall is an Everton fan....in those years in the mid and late 80s being the anchor of ITV sport... I wonder how he really felt about Liverpool then and now?...

[@EnforcerX71]

The 5 year ban for English clubs really was a joke, Heysel was a disaster yes, and English fans were to blame, but how many incidents have the likes of Spanish, Italian and Russian clubs been involved in (although thankfully none with the deaths to my knowledge) and there hasn't been even a hint of a ban like that? For example, I don't think ANYTHING happened to Galatasaray when their fans stabbed two of their Leeds counterparts to death, if it had been the opposite way around Leeds would likely have been thrown out of the tournament sharpish. I honestly think it's because English clubs were mostly dominant in Europe during the 70s and early 80s, and UEFA really didn't like that, as after the ban expired, it took English clubs quite a few years to catch up again, especially in the European Cup/Champions League. The fact that the UK also had a Prime Minister like Maggie Thatcher, who hated football and it's fans for the reason it was the working class' sport, people who she despised.

Devastating blow to the club

You feel for Everton. It was 100% the fault of Liverpool!

burnely did survive relegation last day of that season..won 2-1 and the othere 2 results went their way....torquay drew (failed to win) and lincoln had to lose....tension that day....

I would love to see a documentary about Rush's time in Italy.

[@murchuan8782]

did greavsie call a coventry win at the very end of the show a week b4 they did actually win it ?

[@EnforcerX71]

Just to say, Burnley did end up surviving that season and Lincoln were relegated.

[@johnathanryan2117]

Neil Warnock had brought Scarborough up at the beginning of this season. He said " If you'd have told me that next season we'd be playing Wolves, Burnley and Bolton in the 4th division I'd have said you were off your rocker" That's exactly what happened, all them clubs been up to prem and made a real fist of it inbetween then and now. Great times, real football and great memories.

[@Taggs82]

What was the good news?

[@andrewbowen921]

The start of the demise of my beloved blues. Not being able to compete in europe.thanks liverpool fans. Kendall left and then players left.
