Pitch Invasion: How the Scottish and Irish Changed Football

zico

Not sure if this has been posted before.
3 very good episodes on football from the 60s through to the PL era. (think it might have been shown on BBC Scotland first) but available if you search on iplayer.
First episode features George Best and quite a bit about Liverpool. Some of our boys get a mention.
Second episode, if you don t watch the others, the first 15 minutes is a must watch for Leeds fans. If I ever get tired of watching Big Jack booting Osgood up in the air in the semi replay, I know I m tiring of life.
Decent contributions from Souness, Aldridge and Nevin and Martin O`Neill as well as several journalists.
Ardal O Hanlon (Father Ted fame) gives our side of the story.
Episode 3, we do feature with Strachan and Gary McAllister ticking the Celtic box.
Worth watching for the neutral if just to see Liam Brady ( v Tottenham) and Dalglish s finishing. as well as Eddie s first against Burnley.
The Keegan v Bremner incident gets a mention.
Smashing stuff.

It was mad when all the best players seem to appear from Scotland, especially.
Leeds with Lorimer, the Grays, Jordan, McQueen, Harvey....
Then tailed off from the mid 80s onwards,

Found this a couple of years ago from when I was a nipper in 1974-75, when half the team were Scottish,

Right up my street too, thanks for this.

Random thought: Souness looks remarkably well these days.

He's had a LOT of 'work' done but I wouldn't mind the number of his surgeon and the money to pay for it. Fair fucks to him.

I'll have a dabble with this.

I’ve started it. It’s very good.
