The Majestic Channon Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 At last, not seen anymore than the goals since the day, been hoping for highlights for ages. Although we lost i loved every ( almost) minute , was 11 and fully kitted out in yellow and blue. Also we see martin tyler 32 years ago, genoe's near disaster when the ball somehow slid under his body, interviews with lawrie and clough. [video=youtube;cwJJO6t-PXs]
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 I have the whole game on 8mm film. Time to get it on to a DVD I guess
The Majestic Channon Posted 11 September, 2011 Author Posted 11 September, 2011 It's never been released on DVD though has it???
saint_in_munich Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 I have it on video tape somewhere.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Forest were freakin awesome during that 79/80 era, back to back European Cups etc. On the flip side Terry Gennoe was an absolutley shyte goalkeeper !!!
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 It's never been released on DVD though has it??? I don't know - I assume it had
Fan The Flames Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Is it still the best Wembley final.
Kenilworthy Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 You could always watch the film 'Yesterday's Hero' where the match footage was used to show the FA Cup final between Windsor and Leicester Forest.
Lets B Avenue Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 You could always watch the film 'Yesterday's Hero' where the match footage was used to show the FA Cup final between Windsor and Leicester Forest. Not sure about Windsor. Wasnt Ian McShane's team just called The Saints?
theyin Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 What a brilliant 40 mins. Peach's goal highlight one, Cloughy iv two
Golden Balls Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Brilliant to watch. Football seems a lot better to watch back then. Not in quality, but in entertainment.
Prince Jazzbo Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Is there any footage of what went on in the Car Park and down Wembley Way after the game?
saint1977 Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 My old man put a few quid on David Peach for the first goal as he took our penalties and got offered a daft odd of something like 16/1. Back in 1979, that was a very handy winning.
'00' Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 What was Freddie Starr doing sitting behind lawrie near Charlie George....
The Majestic Channon Posted 12 September, 2011 Author Posted 12 September, 2011 What was Freddie Starr doing sitting behind lawrie near Charlie George.... I remember Lawrie talking about that, Freddie starr was at the players hotel and invited himself onto the coach to wembley and somehow managed to get a seat with the saints party.
chocco boxo Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Golac and Ball linked up well...remember the day well, but so scary to think my old man who took me and 3 mates was younger then, than I am now! Forest were a good side in those days we did well. Come on you Yellooooowwwwwwssssssssssssssss
Miffy Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 I was 12 at the time and my dad (who isn't into football) took me up on the train. We were in a large section of Saints fans that were in the middle of the Forest end. It must have been a section they couldn't sell and gave back ( or there was a ticketing cock-up). The forest fans behind us starting spitting down on us and then climbed into our section. It got a bit scary. We left just before the final goal if I remember correctly, got accosted by some drunk forest fans who were trying to be friendly but were really p!ssed and they nicked my hat. The journey back on the tube was all Saints, but the doors kept opening as we were going through the tunnels, stopping the train. The whole experience was a bit full-on for my dad who hasn't been to a game since, I loved it and have been going for the last 32 years.

saintds Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Great stuff, thanks for that. I was 3 years old when that game was played, don't think I've ever seen the goals, let alone extended highlights Martyg, did you go to this one?
70's Mike Posted 13 September, 2011 Posted 13 September, 2011 25 at the time and whilst i can remember the game, cannot remember how i got there or home
saintbag Posted 14 September, 2011 Posted 14 September, 2011 Anyone remember the Saints fans who climbed out on the roof supports high above the crowd ? I remember one climbing back in and being pulled down by his legs by a policeman and cracking his face on a barrier, knocked him right out. Any sympathy we felt for him went right out the window when they gave him medical treatment right in front of us blocking our view for a few minutes. I remember my dad saying it served him right. Harder times !
alpine_saint Posted 14 September, 2011 Posted 14 September, 2011 9 years old and the first time football broke my heart. Listening on the radio to the commentators w*nk over Forest. I'm glad we beat the c*nts 3-2 last Saturday.
