Full ITV Highlights of the 1970 Watney Cup Final

[Silent Blade]

This footage includes the goal John McGovern scored against us in the semi final (0.28 secs). I was stood behind the goal and still clearly remember Hodgy's despairing dive. First time I have seen the footage!

That 'expert panel' of Bob McNab, Paddy Crerand, Derek Dougan and Malcolm Allison was superb during the World Cup of 1970. (The year of the brilliant Brazilians)

About the only time they've ever been better than the BBC.

The referee was Keith Walker who became SUFC secretary in November 1972

7 weeks later I watched Blades reserves v Man U reserves. Alex Stepney, Ian Ure , Nobby Stiles and Paddy Crerand were dropped from the 1st team so they played at the Lane (our 1st team drew 0-0 at Watford on same day). After the match I followed a few fans to get in the Man U coach to collect autographs. Crerand angrily told me to "get out". Stiles and Ure angrily told Crerand that he was "out of order" and they allowed me to stay in the coach for a bit longer. My dad had always despited Crerand since then!

Brian Moore's head looks uncannily like London Planetarium.

Just thinking about the lame brains we now have on the football panels compared to these real football characters.

I see that HMHB are playing a gig in Peak Cavern in Castleton on Friday 16 August...

...being, hopefully, the night before we play our opening home game of the 2019/20 Premier League season...
