I miss commentators like David Coleman.  Humble and appreciative.

Great days nothing today gets anywhere near them

Oh my god REAL FOOTBALL !!!!!!!!

I was there as a 9 year old in complete awe at the size of the crowd. Proper  Football, proper players who loved playing for there country. This game I will take to the grave with me,  on of my favourite ever. Modern football and greed has killed the game. And David Coleman was the best commentator ever. Great memories.

What a game! I was 16, went down by train from Aberdeen, and it was fuckin mental.
The whole train was rockin coming home. What a day!

This was the 1974 Home Championship match between Scotland and England at Hampden Park.
Scotland had qualified for the 1974 World Cup finals in Munich whereas England didn't.As such Scotland under Willie Ormond were using the Home Championship as part of the preparations for the Munich finals.
England in May had sacked Sir Alf Ramsey and caretaker Joe Mercer took over for the time being.
This time around England had to do without Bobby Moore and Alan Ball.Instead Liverpool's Emlyn Hughes took over the captaincy.Colin Bell,Norman Hunter and Martin Peters were the only senior men left.The last was the only survivor from the 1966 World Cup winning team as Moore had retired from international football and Ball suffered a broken leg.
Scotland dominated the proceedings and two freakish own goals won the home team the match.For Martin Peters it was his last England game but the latter was only a shadow of himself.

I was at this game. Was in the schoolboys enclosure right in front of the old main stand. A fantastic atmosphere at the old hampden. Set us up nicely before heading off to the world cup finals in West Germany.

The quality of the camera work and commentary was really well established by 1974. In 1966 it was still primative, so obviously things improved in the next 8 years.

Watching in 2020 but I remember watching this match. Has anybody else noticed the misprint on the advertising hoarding - Baxters 'Scoth' Broth?...oh dear , Mrs Baxter wouldn't be amused

The good old days. Everything about the game was magnificent. I remember Keith Weller wearing tights for a league match on a particularly cold winter's day.

Many say England Team was pretty hopeless in the 1970s, failing to reach final stages of tournements. On closer examination, they were eliminated by top teams - 1972 by West Germany (soon world champion), 1973 by Poland (semi-finalist a year later), 1975 by the Czechs (who would win the 1976 European Championship), 1977 by Italy (like Poland, semi-finalist a year later). Failed, they may have. But they did ran into formidable oppositions.

Billy Bremner "Every time Leeds concede a goal I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart"

Was there that day. Nice to see the Scottish passion for the jersey.
Shilton has been Englands best keeper in my lifetime, he never got as many caps as he deserved

Looked like Jordan’s shot was going wide. OG.

RIP Norman "bite yer legs" Hunter

A proper football match and lovely to see Scotland wearing Leeds United socks tabs.

Good day. Thank you so much for the video. Of course like from your subscriber. Baku city

Back when fitbaw was fitbaw. And Scotland were no bad at awe

The first footy match I ever saw on a colour telly, with my Grandad.

David Coleman didn't half make commentating an occasion the way hes so involved was a pleasure to watch there wasn't a word waisted and not a mention of  any other game be it club it was the now that mattered he didn't bore you he was the master and there were some greats about to compete with at the time i must say we  were blessed to have had him even though on the odd occasion he said something a bit naff
