Memory Lane Podcast

[Roygbiv]

As with the commentary episodes, I really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to part two. Difficult for younger viewers to understand how little United there was on the telly…which is why I loved the Match of the Day video. Also it was the BBC and United stuff would’ve on YTV which added that bit more for me.

I’d not watched “Life with the Blades” before so it was good to see that one. Bentley really was the missing Chuckle brother. In my mind, for all these years, I had a very different person to the voice!

It's all that research. Meant he never got the chance to go for a haircut or shave

I wonder if that slo-mo pigeon in the opening sequence is any relation to those that were regularly attending matches at Bramall Lane 3/4 years ago?

It was me who wrote to both the club and YTV suggesting a video like this one and in the end YTV posted a complimentary video to me.

That’s brilliant. It was another one of those videos I would watch over and over again as a kid (having got it as a Christmas present). It helped fill some of the gaps left by the BBC MotD video.

Spurs equalisers were just before the whistle for half time and for full time too. Crowd was over 40,000

That was the website Deadbat mentioned.

It's a nightmare to navigate but they have an unparalleled collection of Utd games along with (I think) every season review ever realeased by Utd.

They now do DVD or digital download.

Another belter! I had forgotten I had the 92/93 season in my collection. What’s worse about all this is that was 21 to 25 when I was buying all these videos, at least you lot were kids!

 

[Aganarama]

Glad you mentioned the "Golden Goals" collection (John Rawling). That was part of a wider collection featuring other teams (why the box design looked more professional than the Televideo efforts). Didn't stop it being a swizz if you had all the season videos!

 

[Aganarama]

The CBS Fox 90-91 video was a high watermark. The production values and mix of commentators (Tyler, Rosenthal, Simon Reed [Oliver's brother]) are top notch. CBS Fox had done the videos for a few years for the clubs, with the extra "Goals Galore" and "Saves Galore" tapes. Pity they stopped when they did. And as Roygbiv says, there are some lines that still stick after all these years - 6s and 11s is also one for me, as is "menace in the best possible sense".
