A real old school gentlemen. Sadly missed.

I am 63 so watched this all those years ago. Awesome, thank you so much for putting it on.

That pitch. Try that Messi. 😆

Carlisle superb, Everton never had a shot! Great to see the old Brunton Park, terracing everywhere.

What a great interview with Charlie George. I doubt that we will see that kind of candid conversation nowadays. Credit to Brian Moore for being an absolute gent.

Now that’s what you call a proper pitch

Thank you for these great uploads.

That first goal surely Rimmer should have moved & saved it but he just remained rooted in the mud. Unusual to see Highbury's pitch in such a state.

Great memories and so good to hear commentary on a silent weekend

Great to see a Big Match download again m8 and by a strange coincidence this edition is on ITV4 this morning

Hopefully both can get out of league 1 this season. Interestingly, if it had been 3pts for a win during that season Ipswich would have won the title on goal difference.

I remember seeing Carlisle in this season a few times and thinking they were a very good side.

Great channel brings back so many memories watching the big match while eating Sunday lunch but have you got any featuring MILLWALL?

Great archieve footage from the 70s. Carlisle United in The First Division, and for the first time ever. Must have been quite an experience for them, what playing the likes of Everton, League Champions Leeds, Liverpool etc. etc.. Though sadly it was all short-lived, as they made an immediate return "downstairs", at the end of the 1974-75 campaign, and have never returned to the top flight since

The first few months Carlisle topped the Division but as said the bubble burst, but the likes of Man U, Spurs, Man C, West Ham, Newc, Wolves, Villa & Leeds all got relegated. No one was immune. Not now, they pay they stay whilst the usual suspects go up & down ie WBA, Wolves, Newc, etc, but hey if you've got a owner with squillians you can take a non entity like BRENTFORD! up. The game is purely about money now & nothing else but Millennials think that is normal. So be it. World Cup next time will have 48 countries in it. Good grief. Possibly Brentford too!

@@seltaeb9691 You're absolutely right, Carlisle did indeed top Div. 1 for a time in the early weeks of the 74-75 campaign. And on the subject of Man. United & relegation, at the end of the previous season, they'd of course gone down to Div. 2, along with Norwich & Southampton. Carlisle, Luton & Middlesbrough had gone up, while at the end of the 74-75 campaign, United & Norwich made immediate returns to Div. 1, while Carlisle & Luton passed them in the opposite direction. Strange that, the same four clubs, swapping places, two seasons in a row!

Why the eff did Crystal Palace change from that kit which was (and this is official) the best ever. And I'm a Blade?

Just can't beat that intro

Spurs supporter wanted to see highlights of his favourite player, Jimmy Greaves, so they show a few goals, all bar one of which were for West Ham! 😂

Ye gods, the pitch at Highbury looked like the set for a First World War film. Making an accurate pass on the ground was near-impossible in such conditions.

Some people think they are better than a club...Arsenal to Derby County, great move,not.

A have a vague recollection of Charlie George playing briefly for St. George in the old Australian National soccer league.

Everton bottled the 1974-75 frustratingly to poor performing teams in that season. Finished 4th on 50 points (2 points=win before 1980). Whilst being league leaders a lot of the season and also before this fixture versus Carlisle United.

Granada, rather grudgingly had to haul their three camera OB unit up to Carlisle as Border Television (based in Carlisle) wasn't equipped with a suitable unit.
