Today marks 25 years since the final goal of Kevin Keegan’s England reign. Michael Owen with a fantastic finish in Paris…

Today marks 24 years since Brian Moore passed away. This was ITV’s moving tribute to him shortly after his death. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest football commentators/presenters we’ve ever had. A true gentleman of the game. ❤️

It’s 34 years to the day since this remarkable sequence of chances ended with an Anders Limpar goal against Man City. Things to love here: Highbury Brian Moore on comms Tony Coton’s save The cameraman struggling to keep up as the ball flies everywhere Fantastic stuff.

On the 28th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, a reminder of an emotionally charged Wembley before England’s match with Moldova ten days later. Here the crowd listen to ‘Candle In The Wind’ and impeccably observe the minute silence. Different times…

Rumbelows Cup first round second leg action from tonight in 1991, as Hull City’s Leigh Jenkinson scores a breakaway goal to defeat Blackburn Rovers. Later that season, Jenkinson went on to make the Sprint Challenge final at Wembley. (Love the excited local commentator here. 👏🏻)

28 years ago this week, Dennis Bergkamp was awarded a historic 1st, 2nd and 3rd finish for Goal Of The Month. Here are all ten contenders from that August, which includes two incredible Benito Carbone efforts. But what a trio of goals from the Dutchman…

Classic opening day of the season Saint & Greavsie, from this week in 1988. After ITV spent a fortune in the summer on exclusive rights for live First Division matches, Jimmy Greaves immediately starts complaining about the state of the studio…

It’s 36 years to the day since this reckless Paul Gascoigne tackle on Paul Lake at Maine Road. Understandably, the Manchester City man is fuming with the challenge. But Gazza just responds with a classic playground insult…

Back-pass action from this week in 1992, as the new rule went into its second weekend in the Premier League. Dave Beasant doesn’t know if he can pick the ball up, Tim Flowers forgets to kick it, and Nigel Spink resorts to using his head. Glorious chaos.

35 years ago today, Derby County kicked off their doomed 1990/91 season, which resulted in relegation from the First Division. Unfortunately, it was also a campaign to forget for their 41-year-old goalkeeper, Peter Shilton…

This week in 1989, Match Of The Day celebrated its 25th birthday with a special show looking back over the years. During the broadcast, Barry Davies asked Jimmy Hill about the impact that television has had on football. As usual, Hill was on the money.

On this day in 1996, Wimbledon suffered one of the worst offside decisions in Premier League history at St James’ Park. Sensationally shite officiating.

Saint & Greavsie clip from this week in 1989. Here, Ian St. John asks if a team from outside the then ‘Big 5’ can win the First Division title. But Jimmy Greaves replies with the one of the most honest answers you’ll ever hear from a pundit…

Yorkshire Television’s Goals On Sunday was a brilliant programme, featuring Saturday’s action of the region's teams in all four divisions. Including greats like John Helm and Nick Powell on commentary. Wonderful memories of this growing up in the county.

On Barry Venison’s birthday, a reminder of his cameo in Mike Bassett: England Manager in 2001. Not one acting nomination that year for this performance. Daylight robbery.

On this day in 1992, a whole new ball game was kicking off on Sky, but as a consequence there was no Saint & Greavsie on ITV for the opening day of the season. It left a Saturday lunchtime football void which has never really been filled since. They were of two a kind. ❤️

Today marks 33 years since ‘The Flying Postman’ and Rumbelows Sprint Challenge winner John Williams scored on his debut for Coventry City against Middlesbrough. It was the second ever goal scored in the new Premier League, just 4 mins after Brian Deane. Great work from Ray Stubbs here, too.

Football Focus clip from this week in 1993, looking at that summer’s transfer spending. Here we see that clubs have spent a record £55M in fees (so ludicrous Bob Wilson repeats the figure), including six players for over 2million each! A different world.
