On BT Sport Europe right now. I'm currently watching West Brom v Man Utd from 1966/67. The next two half hour shows are from 69/70, Man Utd v West Ham then Chelsea v Leeds.

Finished 4-3.
Now it's Man Utd v West Ham. George Best v Clyde Best. Harry Redknapp is playing as well.

Parts of Old Trafford has a white picket fence in front of the stand.

Chelsea v Leeds now. Should be nice and friendly.

Elbow in the face for Big jack.

Allan Clarke carried off.

No stretcher, mind, just two blokes carrying him.

Cracking goal by Cooper to make it 2-2.

4-2 Leeds now. Dempsey gives away a penalty then scores an own goal.

5-2 now. John Dempsey at fault again. He's had a fucking mare this second half.

Wolves - Arsenal next. 1971/72

The ref for this is Roger Kirkpatrick, who looks exactly like you might imagine a 1970s pub landlord should look.

The linesman has made poor old Roger trot all the way accross the pitch for what appears to be fuck all.

Ray Kennedy scores an absolute scorcher.

And a fantastic equaliser is followed by another soon after to make it 2-1 Wolves.

[Sean of the Shed]

Classic MOTD

Dougan for 3-1. Poor defending by Arsenal

[Calvert]

Classic MOTD

Good player, the boy Kennedy.
I reckon he'd make a great midfielder. Needs to leave Arsenal too.

It's been all Wolves second half, 5-1 now.

Two more from 71/72. Soton (that's how it was spelt in the 70s) at home to Man United next, followed by their cruel destruction at Leeds in half an hour to finish off. Sadly I have to go and pick up Mrs of the Shed in fifteen minutes, unless I leave her at work and switch off the phone.

I bought a load of DVDs off footydvd.co.uk the other week. Some great stuff on there.

And following on from our previous in-game clock thread, the Wolves-Arsenal match shows that they could generate an on-screen clock face in the early Seventies, unless it was only possible to add it after the event then, rather than in the (exceedingly rare) live matches?
