What a treat this show was for a young Geordie lad

I remember watching this at the time. Everyone knew Fielding won the sprint, except the judges. It had a real stink about it.

What a nice guy Brain Budd is... amazing Athlete too! So satisfying to see 4 Yanks in this competition get trounced by a Canadian! Brilliant!!

Shep Messing was the best ever U.S. goalkeeper. I read his book in 1980 and it was one of the best books I've ever read.

Keith fielding robbed in the 100 yards ,what a gentleman

But Kruize was robbed in the swimming event.

Please can you upload more of these!!! I love watching them!!

What a dream gig for Vine and Pickering it must have been...

This man deserves the respect of every Canadian. What he accomplished here was simply amazing. Brian Budd was and is one of the greatest athletes ever and for a Canadian, that is even more incredible. Please give this man the respect he deserves. RIP BRIAN.

I was a NASL devotee (New York Cosmos) and I can honestly say that I have never heard of Brian Budd... I am sure that I never saw a Caribou game televised on our local channels against the Earthquakes, Aztecs nor the Stompers, and definitely don't remember Colorado ever playing in any of the weekend ABC/TVS national broadcasts. I wonder why Budd didn't seek a trade to one of the contenders? He could've springboarded off his success in the Superstars to get a contract with the Cosmos, Sounders, Kicks, Whitecaps or Rowdies etc. Must've had a bad agent.

Hurray for Brian Budd!!! Hurray for Canada!! Forgot how great Budd was.

RIP Brian Budd the Ultimate Superstar.

Anyone from The Bahamas in the final? No??

A draw in that 100yds!!

I honestly don't remember this all that well, but do recall watching it,I think,on ABC. Wasn't there also an ''NFL SUPERSTARS'' show,with a tug of war and other events?

Yes in the UK as well as having The Superstars they also had The Superteams where players from different sports competed against each other. For example: Soccer Vs. Rugby League.

Okay. That sounds interesting.

Keith Fielding won that 100m final. Biased judges.

The evidence is there visually. The unvelievable thing in a finish as close that, the times are usually the same. Not even 100th . Other thing, considering the ridiculous closeness of the time. Would have perhaps better to have given 10 points to each Athlete. Perhaps only separating them 10 to 7 if they were contending for the title? In other events contenders were being separated by massive margins.

Hahaha what a joke. Can’t believe that decision. He clearly has his head in front

Fielding won that 100 yards dash!! But why was it 100 yards? Who ever runs that anymore! It should be 100 metres!

🇨🇦

Dude got robbed his 100m. The one lady even said his chest hit the line first

1:58 on the 800m is pretty impressive.

and my son goes on and on about a real squat thrust is where you stand up squat plank stand up squat etc..hes driving me bonkers because i say the old way of squat thrusts. he says thats a half squat thrust..arrrrrrrrrr.......these youngsters think they invented everything (26 mins in)

No Brian Jacks?

That's not 2 seconds on the weightlifting! Not sure about quite a few of Budd's chins either. Ah well. Great memories of watching this programme as a kid. The drums on the theme are amazing.

Fielding won the 100!!

I simp for 2-D exclusively For many years runners referred to it as 100 yards. Sometimes it gets used interchangeably with metres in commentary.

Seagren. In the '70's he was on TV ALL the time, commercials and guest appearances and I think as a commentator. Not as famous for being the last American to win an Olympic gold in the Pole Vault. He won gold in Mexico City '68 and silver in Munich '72

Yeah,Seagren was a great athlete too. Didn't he appear on SOAP as the boyfriend of ''Jody Dallas'',the character played by Billy Crystal?

@Mike Poitras Even though I thought Diana Canova was cute, I've never watched an episode of Soap. I wanted to see B.Budd play, so I looked for NASL Colorado Caribou uploads, but the Caribou games are scant on KZread. The one complete game I found against the Cosmos I found, Budd isn't in the lineup... You are right to be proud of him. I just don't remember him...

Kind of insulting to American football for the announcer to say Greg Pruitt is the fastest player, doubt he was even top 10. Cliff Branch, Wesley Walker, Stanley Morgan, Mel Gray, James Lofton, Tony Dorsett are players off the top of my head that are all faster. Dorsett and Lofton had much faster Superstars times than Pruitt. Heck I bet Hollywood Henderson could outrun Pruitt.
