Match of the Day - 50 Years Old

Recommended Posts

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?

Joachim has

Going back through the years I cannot believe Weller's Volley v Newcastle lost to this in goal of the season:

Travesty

 

We'd had a few overlooked because they were on ITV, sadly.

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.

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!

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.

Us youngsters remember him asking Andy Townsend about the day's tactics in the burger van over the road on ITV ;)

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

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.
