A truly wonderful time to be a young football fan. I was 12-years-old. Many thanks for the upload.

The great Brian Moore, the best commentator ever, consumate professional in and out of the studio with interviews etc... (RIP Bryan) - No wonder you often hear Martin Tyler (his protege) paying his respects to his mentor. COYS

Check out his interview with Jimmy Greaves on Jimmy's career. About an hour long. Absolutely brilliant

@@thelstanedwardsson4374 I found it a bit sombre tbh. Compelling but sombre. Jimmy never seemed to glow talking about his career. He says he enjoyed being a pundit more. I always wonder was he a a functioning depressive? I had a family member who was - who also drank but also had a sense of humour like Jimmy. He looked at life like it was a farce. I'm not even Tottenham but I loved Jimmy.

I watched this on ITV4 the other day - it was the first edition of The Big Match that I ever saw. Ever since I've especially wanted to see again the Spurs/Liverpool highlights - I remember Howard Gayle's goal, and Phil Neal's headed clearance from Garth Crooks' lob, but I'd forgotten about Hoddle's goal for some reason!

Fantastic “stitch that!” tackle by Richie. Considering the importance of the game, Roker Park seemed strangely subdued

Great upload. Hoddle and Ardiles were a magical combination and both look at their peak here in 81. Very sad that Ron Greenwood didn't pick Hoddle.

who was assistant coach? Don Howe.

@@kailashpatel1706 To be fair Cowans wasn't in the class of Robson, Wilkins or Hoddle. When you think Jimmy Case never got a cap and Kennedy/McDermott only got 20 odd it was tough. Statham was no Sansom either and Regis was not international class.

@@kailashpatel1706 Yes Ray Kennedy. Greenwood always preferred Brooking on the left. By 82 both were past their best and Rix played. I think Coppell was wide right with Francis central with Mariner. McDermott was so so good.

Howard Gayle I think went on to have a good career with Blackburn Rovers. Funny to think Ian Rush's Liverpool career was as early as this. What a Spurs team back then!

I was in the Roker End that afternoon. I've had my share of disappointments following Sunderland, but nothing quite as sickening as that late Brighton winner. And we all knew it was going to happen. Meaningless final games of the season were something other clubs did.

Bizarre that on LWT big match its not the main game ? Very brief highlights, which to be fair was unusual, any reason ? stand out game of the day never mind in London

Hoddle, without doubt was an excellent footballer, But Greenwood knew his limitations, He was a bit like Le tissier, full of skill, but too lazy to track back, Certain managers cannot abide by that type of player,

Yep, they was a minimal workrate with him, England did not use Gordon Cowans at the time as well who married skill with workrate..
