By coincidence I find this on the day Leighton James passed away, 19 April 2024. As an England and Hereford fan, I saw James play at first hand a good number of times in 70s and 80s, both for Wales and especially clubs Burnley and Swansea. A great old fashioned winger, RIP.

Good day. Watched and pleased. So like and thanks from country Azerbaijan

My mate had the Wales kit and it was beautiful. Admiral kits were the greatest. There is an absolutely brilliant Documentary about the Admiral Company who were based in Leicester. Real pioneers of Football kit design.

The Welsh Admiral Kit was the base of other later kits, Like Belgium kit in the 1982 World Cup. It's almost identical.

I mite be biased but really dont think theres been a better kit than that wales admiral 'tramline' kit of the 70s

I was there as a 7 year old in my England kit as I was born and we lived in London with my Welsh dad who celebrated and this bloke turned round at full time and said I would get your mum to lock him out tonight son, my dad quick as a flash said his mum is Welsh too 😂😂😂

Think this is the only time Wales have won at wembley - another terrific upload for Wales fans 👏. Thank you

Wales, the home team (as always in matches in "England"), won at Wembley at rugby in a memorable match in 1999.

Terrific performance by Yorath. Barry Davies nailed it with the comment about England not having a settled side which we never did under Revie.

To be fair he was getting a settled side in 1975, but he suffered a fair few injuries to key players. Gerry Francis, Colin Bell, Kevin Beattie, Roy McFarland etc. Admittedly it was baffling how he ended Alan Ball’s career prematurely and, also, his treatment of Alan Hudson who looked truly World Class in 1975

England and Wales sporting snazzy Admiral kits.Admiral produced some great kits in the 70s and 80s.Apparently the Coventry City ‘CHOCOLATE ‘ away kit is worth a few thousand pounds today😳

Hourray, thanks so much- what a happy memory, i was there aged 16 behind the goal where the winner was scored. This was the year after Wales were the sole British nation in the last 8 of the European championship/Euros. Later in 77 heartbreak for Wales, with Scotland's Joe Jordan's infamous handball in the Welsh penalty area for which the ref gave Scotland a penalty and Wales were ko'd from world cup qualifying.

RIP Leighton James, always turned up for Wales.

Remember buying the Wales kit (all time favourite) in early 1977, still have it and it fits OK LOL!

A lot of men who were kids in this era, criticize these 70's matches. I know blokes 50+ years old who slag these old footy matches, because they want to be ''current'' and trendy. Bit like slagging off abba, when most uk kids in he 70's liked them. Fair to say conditions have improved, but its shit watching matches with hardly any british players in them. Also on the continent, Holland v Belgium, looks more like Ivory Coast v Cameroon. Give me the days of Rep, Haan, Krol, Rensenbrink, Cruyff, Van der elst, gerets, Renquin, Scifo, ceulemans, Van den bergh.....any time.!

I loved this England kit because of Malcolm McDonald cos we neat Cyprus here 5 - 0 and he was wearing it......

Never understood the Revie years tbh. When Liverpool had set template and were clearly the best team, he never made the effort to pick players that knew each other inside out and played international style at club level. At the time Callaghan, Kennedy, McDermott, Case, Keegan et al could have been the core of a dominant England. Supplement with Francis, Brooking band someone to play the Tosh role.

If you ant got a admiral kit ya not getting in.....brill cheers for this..

A game I’ve only seen 2nd half highlights from, was a game v Holland a few months earlier, I believe the Dutch taught a footballing lesson that night, 77 wasn’t a good year by the sound of it, but we did beat Italy in the November but it was too late to late to qualify for Argentina 78 by then

The classic Welsh admiral 'tramlines' strip. Always admired it and the following 'Arsenal' Adidas kit.

Wasn't England's next game the 2-1 Wembley defeat to Scotland after which Revie did a runner ? You can tell here that Revie had lost the England squad ;constant pointless changes-often a player who had a blinder being dropped and never used again (Alan Hudson v W Germany anyone ?!) or a winning ,exciting side (England's 1975 5-1 winners v Scotland) being disbanded immediately. Revie was a club manager,Totally the wrong choice for England. We expected to fail back then.

The Welsh kit (for me) one of the best designs ever.

The Welsh the English despise one another.

Yes the Admiral kits were fab, but what about them GOLA boots... EuroCup & Europa... absolutely love GOLA!

Not a great result but good to see those great players on both sides again.Thanks for posting.

Very ironic that Emlyn Hughes made the error which resulted in the penalty.

If Peter Shilton had a weakness, it was definitely penalties. Have seen a number of old England matches recently, and apart from the friendly v West Germany in 1985 in which he saved a penalty, on the other occasions, Shilton has just flopped to his side, seemingly making no attempt to get to the ball.

Wales looked like the complete side,England look all over place.

Full match win, highlights lost. Can’t wait for 74 76 and 77

Even the matches England do beat Wales, their fans default to ''small country syndrome''. Euro 2016 being a prime example. Used to support all the home countries, but for Wales, i now have a go fk yourselves kind of outlook. Not even ''banter'' from them, just pure hatred. Pathetic really. Maybe England should use that small country syndrome excuse - being smaller than the usual world cup winners Brazil, Germany, France and Italy.

Ah! Yes! This is when England won thing.

England's game far better than today's rubbish the players the atmosphere the stadium 👌👌👌

A prime example of the destruction Don Revie caused to English football, who then disappeared t the Emirates. He should have been stuck into the Tower Of London for what he did to English football. I hope enjoys his life in purgatory.

England were embarrassingly bad. They had no imagination. Just kicking it high into the box hoping someone would get on the end of it. No wonder they had so much trouble with WC qualifying in those days.

Is it true that before games all the Welsh used to do a little trump in a jar for good luck?

what a poor performance by England.

What a shit show, bloody aweful to watch, Everyone looks overweight and slow, in everything. I've noticed in all Games of the 70's, the ball bounces all over the place as if it's made of rubber, and the player's can't control it, as they do today.
