ITV 4 on catch up. There's loads on there, I love watching them.
Re: The Big Match Revisited
Found It on catchup great idea. Clip is at around the 24:00 mark. Trying to load a photo of the tackle but this forum is awful for uploading images. Jeez
*edit giving up on trying to load anything on here. Worth a watch folks enjoy U Reds

Ha ha! I remember being at this game.. That particular brand of Scottish King Fu was the only thing we got to cheer about on the day as we were royally outplayed.
That Hoddle Goal though eh? Ball never touched the ground from the hands of their reserve goalie until Shilts picked it out of the back of his net....
Re: The Big Match Revisited
Scottish Kung Fu really made me chuckle, I was imagining a Scottish remake of the karate kid where Daniel Larusso plants a Glasgow kiss on Johnny Lawrence panning round to the proud face of his trainer Sensei Gerard Butler.

Pathetic attempt sorry.

Not sure if these will be any better but here goes
Re: The Big Match Revisited
Yeah loads better m8. Probably one of the worst tackles I have ever seen. Only Gascoigne on Garry Parker beats this imo.
Re: The Big Match Revisited
I watched this on Saturday morning, Brian Moore mentioned something about it being the first live football of the season because ITV had been on strike. Glad Kenny gave them something good to watch after that long ball Larry stuff from Spurs.
Re: The Big Match Revisited
I love Kenneth Burns. No fuss, no messing.
Re: The Big Match Revisited
He created some business for whoever made Ricky Villa's socks that week.

„I believe in socialism because it seems more humanitarian, rather than every man for himself and 'I'm alright jack' and all those arsehole businessmen with all the loot. I made up my mind from viewing society from that angle. That's where I'm from and there's where I've made my decisions from. That's why I believe in socialism“
„Don't forget you're alive. 'Cause sometimes when you walk around the city and you're in a bad mood, you can think, hey, wait a minute, we're alive! We don't know what the next second will bring and what a fantastic thing this is. This can get easily forgotten in the routine of life, and that's something I'm trying to bring to my attention at all times. Don't forget you're alive. We're not dead, you know. This is the greatest thing.”
