I tell my kids not to worry about me when I'm old and decrepit and can't leave home, I will just sit and watch videos like this from my youth and be blissfully happy.

Barry Davies was such a football enthusiast, wasn't he? The sheer joy in his voice when anyone scored a great goal added something to the occasion.

8:36 - "Big John Hughes, moving forward, breathing the chance and giving it the hammer" - classic!

The best football video I owned growing up! Must of watched this about 1000 times!

When you listen to all the football commentators Barry Davies was in a different league master of his art

Ted McDougal 1972. As a 6 year old, this was my first Villa game. 48,000 crowd in the old THIRD division. Villa came back to win 2-1. I remember hardly anything of the game, apart from the noise reducing me to tears. Happy days!.

This is so odd. I'm 53. I haven't been interested in football for decades. But watching this takes me back to the football-crazy kid I was. The clips from 1976 onwards were maybe shown by BBC twice, three times, four at the most but so many up to around 1983 are indelibly stamped in the memory forever, commentary and camera angles, the lot..

Loved going to White Hart Lane, Highbury, Upton Park and Stamford Bridge.....the away end £10 standing,just queue and get in. I loved all the Admiral, Umbro and Adidas kits and Patrick, Puma and Adidas boots and Minerva Supreme,Adidas Tango footballs and Mitre red and white League cup football... i just can't get enough or ever forget fantastic days!!!!!!!!!.

That lob from Georgie Best. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

I put this on 20 years after last watching it and still remember just about every bit of commentary "Big John Hughes... breaking forward and giving it the hammer!"

Thank you so much for posting this. Watched it at least 50 times as a teenager and still have the VHS, but haven't seen it in years. Great memories. Always used to be baffled at why Jimmy Greaves' goal was included!

Had this on VHS growing up - loved it. Commentators back then were great.

My first football video I ever had.... it’s great to see it again after all these years!

John Richards v Hull City. Wolves aye we. Brilliant individual goal. Best ever wolves striker. Legend ⚽👍

Ronnie Radford's goal is arguably the greatest goal ever.....I have left specific comments on that on the Hereford v Newcastle video so won't repeat them here. I am a Scottish guy and a lot of Scots like to point to Archie Gemmill's goal v Holland in 1978 (which was a great goal) as his best. Archie Gemmill's best goal is right here though, goal of the season. He intercepts the ball about 30 yards from his own goal, btw megs the Arsenal player, passes to Withe, the run he does to get into the Arsenal box is unbelievable and he still has the composure to finish like he does.....awesome.

8:54 - Ronnie Radford - "Oh, what a goal! What a goal! Radford the scorer... and the crowd are invading the pitch" - I think this is my favourite goal of all time. I love the pitch, the crowd of urchins, the effort, and the rocket shot from 35 yards, what's not to like.

Had this on VHS . Must have watched it 101 times !

Still have my VHS version, it was a Christmas present in the late 80s.

As a 9 year old in 74 onwards, I can definitely say that I remember all of those goals post 74 [ I attended most of the Liverpool one's] ... great memories of Match Of The Day and ... being at some of those games as well.

A quality goal by a quality player. Top Class Tony Currie

Great video watched this 1000s of times as a kid

BIG JOHN HUGHES, BREATHING THE CHANCE, AND GIVING IT THE HAMMER. classic Barry Davies

I have this on VHS!!

The first goal the sets the tone.motson:"look at that look at that what a goal by brady "Brilliant.

Commentary Gold !! wore out the vhs tape watching this growing up.

Thanks so much for posting this!! This was the first video I ever bought as a kid, and still have it now - just nothing to play it on.

Ronnie Radford!! The greatest goal of all time.

A cab driver in London collected George Best one evening. Bestie apologised saying “I’m a bit unsteady on my feet tonight”, the cabbie quick as a flash replied “that didn’t happen too often George”… What a superb great player he was..

The best football video from the days of the peoples game.I love everything i see for an hour!!!

Thank you, Nessun Dorma!

Joe Kinnear's blatant foul throw is the best thing arguably in here - on the pitch AND rear foot in the air!!

I can pretty much recite all the commentary on all the goals, watched this 100s of times on vhs growing up. Favourite goals include Mick Walsh and Justin fashanu

I used to watch this video so much! Amazing!

My favourite EVER goal is the trevor sinclair scissor kick for QPR at home to Barnsley. Pure class!!

So pleased you put this on,I have got the VHS somewhere...And after watching #MOTD50 a couple of weeks ago,I felt very nostalgic & wanted to watch this.I used to watch it over & over again when I was 11-12 years old.Thankyou for the post 😊.

awesome 101 great goals from match of the day. the english league will always be the best ever league. and i still have this on vhs today, so proud to still have it now. it does mean a lot to me. and it came out the tape same year i was born. one goal always remembered with my dad always talking about it being a spurs fan. ricky villa's classic goal 1981 fa cup final replay against man city oh yeah class. my favourite fa cup goal too. and a few years back i found it in a market the football programme of the same game bought for my dad for christmas a few years back my dad was over the moon, a special goal for me and my dad :) so a happy moment that was. thank you ricky villa for making my dad happy winning the cup with that classic goal. the other goals are magic too.

You're a legend for posting this. I had it on video years ago but it went missing,and I've been wanting to watch it for ages. It's the best goal compilation ever! Thanks,mate.

Love this vid , borrowed back in 95 and me and my buddies sat around and laughed (not at them no way) with the commentators, they were awesome, "From the corna a real cracks by Keith wells" or "oh by saaaay watta cracking goal" THANKS FOR POSTING

I remember watching Pop Robson at Sunderland. Every home game I'd come home and tell Dad who scored and he'd say 'what, Pop Robson again!!'. I've just checked. Pop Robson's still alive. 85 years old.

Had this on VHS in 80s

Greatest ever football video. Love the crowds, especially Middlesbrough chants of "you're gonna get your fucking head kicked in" plus the bald guy at Blackpool and the granny in pink at Stoke. Great goals and even better commentary. Had this video, wish it was on dvd, so glad it's on KZfaq.

I remember home supporters applauding the away team's goal when it was special - we even did it at Upton Park. Seemed to die out in the 90s, which is a shame.

20:21 "You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in." Proper.

Best footballing video ever made!

I checked out this very video tape VHS from my Hometown's library for years... I missed it so much!

Thanks for posting this. Some great memories on there.

I used to watch this on his father and grandfather on VHS when I was young. :)

emlyn hughes celebration is amazing.and tony curry what abou that a quality goal from a quality player

I have the original VHS of this video.

Now Allan mullerys volley was class

Barry Davies is quality on this video - and with the right foot too!!

thanks for posting. Classic stuff

I had this on video too, THANK YOU so much for the upload.

Oh and thank you for posting on here

Had this on video great memories when football was football

thank you for posting this!!!!!

Came here via Big Match Action. Yes, I had (probably still have) this as well. Well worn.

I had this on VHS 😮

Pick of the bunch ? Mickey Walsh. Still my favourite goal of all time. Love the fact that he had nothing else on his mind. The camera being right behind it and Barry Davies legendary commentary help too. Sublime stuff !

in the 80s me mate would always put this on after going back to his from the alehouse

Had this on VHS from a Boot Sale, was one of many random football videos I'd watch at my Grandparents after school.

oh thanks for sharing,i used to have this on video when it came out cracking stuff

I swear some of the goals are only there cos of the sublime commentary skills. Malcolm macdonald bites the hand that used to beat/feed him!

Bringing me back to my child vhs days!

i have this video and it was made at the end of 87 season.

The commentary I know off by heart!

Thanks for putting this up. Brings back good memories. I don’t remember the picture quality being that bad though. 😂

justin fashune was the best goal for skill ,imagination, creativity ,power and precision unrivalled

Football before the premier league and sky. Brilliant!

Bird I was with when I was about 14 ,her dad had this . Great memories

I remember watching this years ago nearly everyday after midnights on Turkish TV channel "Kanal A". But there was no original commentary on that version. Instead of it, there were some amazing acid house songs playing. One of them was "Can You Feel The Bass?" by "Phortune". I wish I could watch it again. :(

This is truly great, but it does put one in mind of that godawful Chris Waddle '1001 goals' from the early 90s.

"Look at that, Look at that". John Motson on Liam Brady' wonderful goal in the North London derby 77/78.

Micky Walsh's goal for Blackpool v Sunderland still class

barry davies and john motson will never be bettered , so lucky to grow up in this area .

Ronnie Ranford!!!Legend!

Awesome 101

Such a amazing video! :) Keep up the good content ;) Hugs from Sweden

I think Emlyn Hughes was shouting 'for coughs and colds, take Lemsip' after his goal or something like that anyway. :) Also after Allan Clarke's goal, the crowd are quite clearly chanting 'you're gonna get your fuckin head kicked in'....an old favourite and positively outrageous to be heard on telly in 1975!!

Great goals

A there's never been a better assist in the history of football, than the one at 47.50

Thanx

This video was released in 1987 NOT 1986 as the last 3 goals featured were from 1987, the last being that year's FA Cup Final

great download

McDonald's 2nd vs Bolton was Fantastic!

“Ooh, Mick Walsh!”

That Metgod strike was something else 👏

That Ronnie Redford goal encapsulates soccer before it got too big. The god-awful pitch and the crowd running on. I’m not sure which one is less likely to show up again.

I had this on video in the late 80s osgood's goal vs arsenal ⚽️ And micky walsh goal 1975. Frankie prince's toe punt goal😩😩

Free Kick at 5:30 is brilliant!

Always wondered why that Jimmy Greaves goal near the beginning made the cut of “great goals”. Now having seen it again I’m even more baffled - it was a tap-in from point blank range and the throw-in from which the goal came was a foul throw as the Spurs player’s foot was across the touch line when he took it. Some classic strikes in here though - Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson was a seriously underrated player.

how did the Jimmy Greaves goal (3:05) get in the list I never understood.

Good goal by Bryan Pop Robson!

I know it’s progress but I much preferred football back in the 70’s and 80’s. The kits were so much better too...

Should be renamed 99 great goals, a tap in by Jimmy Greaves and a a goal by Clive Allen which for for season has been included even though Keith Houchen scored a better goal in the same game.

There all on it Ronnie Radford ,Charlie George used to have this on VHS tape ....Barry Davies was class ....just look at his face etc....

The Limeyness of this VHS cannot even be charted

Saw George Best many times, so far ahead of his time, he would go past players and let them get back so he could beat them again

Meraviglioso.

What makes thee goals even mpre impressive is the fact that the pitches were sometimes quagmires and they used heavy, leather balls that got even heavier when they got wet.
