Jeff Le Taxi Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 Im no expert but i would have thought this was pretty rare!
The Cat Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 That's a great video. No messing from the keepers, grab the ball and whack it straight up the field.
jam Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 Great find, thanks for sharing. That stream has lots of great photos. This one might interest the floating bridge fans on here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertfish/5133853656/in/pool-1093998@N21/
The9 Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 Nice little video, how on earth players managed 40+ matches a season with no subs with all the waist-high lunging at each other in clumpy boots and heading that near medicine ball with their woolly socks on I shall never know. Anyone got the link to Saints training from the National Film archive?

Huntingdon Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 I notice Duncan has already added it to his favourites, I'm sure historians could possibly even pinpoint the date of Blackburn's match I imagine that travelling from Blackburn to Southampton in the late 1940's was quite a journey too

The9 Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 Just found Blackpool v Saints in the 1952/3 FA Cup here too : http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=30721 It has Stanley Matthews doing "the Stanley Matthews" . That was the year of the Matthews Final too. Saints finished bottom but one in Div 2, Blackpool 7th in the top division - so a pretty good result, even if Saints did lose the replay.
Scudamore Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 I'm not sure club historians are the right people to be commenting on how "cool" anything is...
VectisSaint Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 I notice Duncan has already added it to his favourites, I'm sure historians could possibly even pinpoint the date of Blackburn's match I imagine that travelling from Blackburn to Southampton in the late 1940's was quite a journey too Why? We had a decent rail service in this country before the 1960s. It would be quite easy to find the date of this match, there is a web site that gives dates and results of all fixtures. I had a cousin who lived in the East End, went to see Blackpool play West Ham on Good Friday in 1935 or 36 (haven't got exact year to hand) and died of a heart attack at the match. I found the date of the game online, and happened to look at the fixtures for the following day and found that West Ham played again against Saints (unfortunately we lost). Players and supporters of today don't know they are born, but in fact it was relatively easy to travel to matches given the railway network of the time, and football specials - probably took less time than it would these days by car

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 I have just purchased some lovely original 16mm colour footage of Leeds v Saints 1948. Have had it put onto DVD.

Scudamore Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 Why not? are they royalty? They wouldn't even be able to tell you that Fonzy is cool...
saintoaks Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 I'm sure weve all seen the Micky Channon TV, but i thought i'd add it !! http://www.mickchannon.tv/page/extras/football

It's because they are real men, unlike the majority of today's pampered professionals.
benjii Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 It's because they are real men, unlike the majority of today's pampered professionals. They wouldn't stand a chance against modern professionals. They would look like slow, amateurish, chuggers.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 They wouldn't stand a chance against modern professionals. They would look like slow, amateurish, chuggers. You're not wrong, but they'd win in a fight!
benjii Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 You're not wrong, but they'd win in a fight! Yes, expect that's true! And a drinking competition!
krissyboy31 Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 They wouldn't stand a chance against modern professionals. They would look like slow, amateurish, chuggers. If today's players were kicking a medicine ball with hobnail boots, they'd look like slow amateurish sluggers. If today's centre halves had to head those bloody things they'd spend the rest of the game having treatment.
Miffy Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 ooooo, found another clip, this time from 1934 ....... http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=5452 and wow, look at the manchester pitch in this man u saints match .... http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=43267 . I notice there are no Choccy Boxes in the 1934 clip. Anyone know when they were built?
Ohio Saint Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 Those were the days when the balls were made of heavy metal, and if you headed the part of the ball where the laces were, you could give yourself a nasty injury just heading a wet ball. Oh, yeah, and they wore deep sea diver boots with land mines on the soles too. It was a different game in those days for sure.
theyin Posted 16 July, 2011 Posted 16 July, 2011 I'm sure weve all seen the Micky Channon TV, but i thought i'd add it !! http://www.mickchannon.tv/page/extras/football Never, thanks though...brilliant
Redondo Saint Posted 18 July, 2011 Posted 18 July, 2011 I'm sure weve all seen the Micky Channon TV, but i thought i'd add it !! http://www.mickchannon.tv/page/extras/football Never seen this before! Brilliant. I like one of the clips with Mick judging a beauty contest!
