The Big Match Revisited (ITV)

[mat]

Did Brian Moore ever commentate on a game outside London ?

I think he was LWTs guy. Like Gerald Sindstadt was Granada's. Production was localised to region IIRC?

He did indeed but a lovely and genuine man in my eyes who I came across at Wembley one England game yonks ago. He would defo beat Prince Charles or Gary Linekar in an ear off take it from me.

Yes always thought Brian was a great guy and thoroughly knowledgeable.

Premier league destroyed tv commentary. Moore, Davis,Gubba,Mcpherson,Helm,Sindstat, were all great voices i grew up with watching on tele who reported objectively on their games. Alan Parry lost it when he joined Sky. Probably why I like watching the classic matches on ITV4 and old MoTD on youtube.

How right you are proper commentators, could you see them back then putting up with the screeching girlie we have today.:-)

What was refreshing was Moore having either a player or manager in the studio and answering questions in a proper manner, I watched one the other day Southampton v Fulham, Fulham were in the Best, Marsh and Moore era, Best was sent off for language unbecoming and the Fulham manager Alec Stock was just magnificent when talking to Brian Moore. Excellent program.

I don't know.
"U****d, not just beaten - Humiliated"
23 October 2011.
Can't remember who they were playing.
To me,it's on a par with "there's some fans on the pitch. They think it's all over - it is now!"
I always have big smile on my face whenever I hear it - for obvious reasons.

I'm sure on the intro to the programme there is footage of Dennis Tueart's overhead kick winner against Newcastle in the 1976 League Cup Final.
There was also an interview on today's game ( Spurs vs Everton October 1976) with Alfie Conn.
I don't remember him at all playing for Spurs, but apparently he was the 1st player post WW2 to play for both Celtic and Rangers!!
And even better Spurs were winning 3-1 with 5 minutes to go, and Everton managed to score 2 late goals and snatch a point from Spurs (Bob Latchford got the equalizer).
And I am pretty sure that was the season when Spurs got relegated to Division Two.

yep its there in all its glory - back then it was unheard of for an English player to do that in a filmed match - I remember everyone was in awe of Dennis for that

Brian Moore with a nice little plug for Pat Jennings testimonial game at WHL in which a select Spurs side would play a select Arsenal side.
He mentioned that both Jimmy Greaves and Cyril Knowles would play for Spurs.
And the TV programme finished with a selection of some of the great saves that Pat had made over the years.
He really was a fantastic goalkeeper,he made some incredible saves!!!

Bump.
Can we turn the clock back 45 years next time we play Spurs at home.
We have just beaten them 5-0 at Maine Road in May 1977.
With goals from Peter Barnes,Tommy Booth, Asa Hartford and DTKOAG.
And even better Spurs were relegated at the end of the season!!!

Yesterday I watched City beat Ipswich 2-1 '77 I think. Dave Watsons header was..... out of this world, probably the best headed goal I have ever seen, up there with Paul Lake v United and Vinny, funnily enough against the same opposition. I think Watsons goal was marginally better.... the power and the direction and the accuracy....

Paul Lake ....do you mean Mick Mccarthy?

I was going to say, I don’t remember Lakey scoring any goals against the rags, let alone a thunderbastard header.

Dave watsons header would have hit the Kremlin from Ukraine
