I'd love to see Frank's winning goal at Old Trafford in 1979 but doubt it was televised. Would also like to see us stuffing Bury 4-0 at the Reebok in 1998, never seen those goals since the day itself. More likely to be on film somewhere.

There's a sign for the 'Evening News' in the background, so some of the footage might actually be from Trinity Street. Great shot of the two supporters carrying a crate of beer bottles at the station! Shame there's no sound but the shot list gives you some idea of what the fans said: 'Should have been 4 clear goals'.

tho, i wonder if the 3-0 was filmed

 

friday night, no other games

 

maybe, just maybe.....

I don't think it was. It certainly doesn't show up on any of the lists of games shown on "The Big Match", "Kick Off", midweek specials etc. Then again, neither do some of the other things that appear on ITN Source. Some of those things were obviously filmed for clips in standard news bulletins as opposed to be footy programmes

I was at that game and remember the build up before the match and seem to remember loads of united leaving at HT but everything else is a complete and utter blank, the mind is a strange thing, wish I could unlock the memories of that night, can any one jog the memory?

Seem to remember it being a bit misty.

Frank Worthington made an total and utter clown of Gordon McQueen.

I also have a sweet memory of United having two goals disallowed after the score had reached 3-0. On each occasions their support started to celebrate only to have their delight evaporate.

The beginning of the decline that documentary I'm sure we'd be still up there without the shock waves of that programme.

no we wouldn't as the peoples republic of bolton decided they couldn't be arsed supporting their team, and as a side start to wear a munich tops to show their devotion to the greatest team in the land.

 

or people stopped following their team.
