Tony Green - a wonder to behold!

An absolute tragedy that Tony Green's career was cut short - he would have been an all-time great.

I loved that white picket fence that went round the terracing at 'Old' Old Trafford

My two fave players as a kid, Bestie and Supermac

Me dad and uncle were there with a coach load from the big lamp

Thanks for posting this. One week after Hereford .....

Tony Green started his football with my local Junior, non league and semi pro club Kirkintilloch Rob Roy in the 1960s

It is 1972 & virtually all 4 Divs had all British players bar the odd exception.

Many thanks for these posts!

Wow ! Old Trafford with Man U supporters that actually live in Manchester .

al british players [ high standard on both sides [ meant something then

Newcastle's first League win at old Trafford after 21 seasons! They (Newc) always looked like they've just got out of bed after a hard day doon pit. Man U looked tired, aged. Best had some magical moments but in variedly lost possession. They looked like a jigsaw with pieces that didnt fit trying to fill holes the wrong size. Going down done them good, but this was 2 years ahead so there was a lot more matches like this till then.

I support any team that plays Man Utd The collision between Best and Charlton is hilarious.

I was there for this match. 17 or 18.

My uncle is on this Video

Everybody on the pitch (including the referee and linesmen) wearing black socks. Wouldn't be allowed now!

I still have some of those Shell party glasses. I put my Texaco World Cup coins in them

Bobby Charlton would have been maybe 34 at the time of this game already bald as a coot. Shame feel sorry for him

30:50 Cheeky!

Who’s here again for the EFL cup final?

Utd looked to be disjointed, slow and ponderous on this showing. Really struggled to overcome a well-organised, tough tackling Newcastle. Got balls in beyond the penalty spot but not enough guile or quality to play 1-2's or to even hit the bye-line and get crosses in.

Quaint

We'd beaten Newcastle up at their place. Top of the table early on and looking a decent bet for honours, but it all turned to crap around December when we went on a losing run of seven games on the bounce, including this one. We didn't win another match until March when we beat Huddersfield.

To many foreigners in teams even in the early 70s

Typical Toon week after the Hereford debacle go her and win..

Terry Hibbit's skill in his own penalty area! Tony Green slight but v tidy. Man Utd awful. V average full backs. Best beginning to lose interest.

Commentator desperate for Man U to score.
