StanSP Posted 21 August 2014 Share Posted 21 August 2014 There's a programme on BBC tomorrow night at 10.30 about the programme majority of us love turning 50 years old. Anyone got any favourite memories or moments that occurred on here? Any controversies that people remember? Has a Leicester player ever won Goal of the Month?

pSinatra Posted 21 August 2014 Share Posted 21 August 2014 A Leicester player has won Goal of the Month. Julian Joachim against Barnsley in an FA Cup 3rd round replay in 1993 (although I can only find winners from 1992 onwards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim has http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal_of_the_Month_(England) Going back through the years I cannot believe Weller's Volley v Newcastle lost to this in goal of the season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjQSlWZTrow Travesty We'd had a few overlooked because they were on ITV, sadly.

Vacamion Posted 22 August 2014 Share Posted 22 August 2014 The sense of MOTD related football nostalgia was heightened by THIS article: http://www.theguardian.com/football/gallery/2014/aug/21/memory-lane-1970s-footballers-at-home-in-pictures Do you remember when footballers didn't own watches that cost 6 months' salary? When, instead of spit-roasting the women to whom they send pics of their packets or launching scent brands or taking selfies of themselves wiping their arses with £20 notes, they were family men, trying to earn a living, like the rest of us... By the way, the photo of Ray Clemence in this article is quite sinister and will probably give me nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 22 August 2014 Share Posted 22 August 2014 Did this show really need a section on Hillsborough? FFS the show is only an hour long. It's not something that really sums up Match of the Day is it? Still no clips of City doing anything interesting....except conceding. Even Gary is only mentioned as 'a lover of the blue of Everton'. Piss off Jose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 22 August 2014 Share Posted 22 August 2014 Yeboah was the best player at smashing the ball in off the crossbar. What a skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 22 August 2014 Share Posted 22 August 2014 What an absolute boy. Barry Davies as well. My childhood MOTD comprised of him shouting "THAT'S A LOVELY GOAL". Such a distinctive voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 22 August 2014 Share Posted 22 August 2014 For the young uns reading this thread who don't know much about Des Lynam, just imagine a moustachioed Alpha Male, probably smelling of "Sex Panther", on a channel watched by 20 million, smooth talking his way through stuff that Jeff Stelling turned into a high pressure exercise in a way that made men want to be him and women want to be underneath him.

trabuch Posted 22 August 2014 Share Posted 22 August 2014 My Dad hated him. And quite right too. Smooth bastard. Fanni magnet, even now - particularly with his non-stop tongue action.

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 23 August 2014 Share Posted 23 August 2014 I feel like I've missed out on a lot football stuff from bygone eras. Gutted I never watched us at Filbert street Without sounding patronising I feel sorry for the younger generation who didn't get to see us play at filbert street. I grew up in the 90's going down Filbert Street with my dad and it was the best feeling I've ever had walking into the ground. Police everywhere, republica ready to go blaring through the tannoy, fans close to the pitch. I know the stadium was sh*t hole but it was our sh*t hole. God I miss it.
