Ray Wilkins tackling Willie Johnston in the 1978 match.

Phil Neal and I think Willie Donnachie are the other players in the picture.

I think it is Donnachie in the background. A fine player. One of the things he's remembered for is the own-goal he scored when Scotland played Wales. A terrible back-pass.

Doddie (Alex MacDonald) is the Rangers player being carried. Training session when the great Jock Wallace was in his first spell as Manager of Rangers.

The great Jock Wallace.

Micky Thomas, Wales v England 1978.

Ibrox.

Boyne Here's Ibrox covered in snow. Captions states it's Feb 1979.

Just thought it was similar to the one you posted above.

 Jan  Tomaszewski,the keeper in action for Poland v Italy in 1974 Wold Cup

Dismissed as a “clown” by Brian Clough before the vital England v Poland 1973 Wold Cup qualifying match.

,Tomaszewsk then played fantastically well and was largely for denying England a place in West Germany.

Cracking picture. One of the things I love about Ibrox - apart from Rangers playing there - is the way the Main Stand was retained during reconstruction in the seventies and eighties. A few changes have been made e.g. putting seats in the Enclosure in the lower tier and adding the Club Deck but it still retains the old look. Leitch would be proud.

I seem to remember the clown comment being made either at half-time or at the end of the game. I'll try and check.

Edit: No - you're right, it was before the game. But Clough was the ITV studio guest that night:

Quote

At half-time he refused to back down on his description of Tomaszewski, and told the nation: "Keep calm. Put the kettle on, mother. Don't worry - the goals are going to come."

Great picture of Ibrox and the surrounding area.

Peter Shilton could not bear to watch Allan Clarke's penalty. v Poland at Wembley in that 1973 match.

Great picture

First FA Cup Final which I watched on a colour TV. I was invited to a neighbour's house to watch it.  So good to see Leeds lose.

Watching the game on the i player and realised David Harvey made a really good save near the end of the game.

Yes he did your right. Always remember in park, if you parried a shot and then saved the rebound, we'd all shout Montgomery, funny, none of us were old enough to have watched the final as only just turned 4 and the Monty save if you were lucky was only showed once a year on cup final Granstand, so it became a bit like Banks from Pele, mythical, that when shown it was a real treat, no you tube or even video recorders.

That's why I really enjoy watching The Big Match Revisited.

I've seen the full programme and the footage of all of our highlights when it's us as a featured game. For the first time ! 

Yeah I know some of the footage was in the mid 1970s !!

Here in Scotland, we only got the goals or very edited English football highlights until about 1982 ish

Borussia Monchengladbach 1970s.

Classic team and strip.

St Etienne. Mid 1970s

Classic team and strip.

Again in my humble opinion.

Maradona v Belgium. 'Just' the 6 of them ! 

Think its from 1982.

An early 'Executive Suite' ?!

From Twitter.

'A man selling football scarfs outside Highbury (1980)' That's the caption.

It's Frank Spencer's double .

Social distancing 70's style!

Twitter 'Terrace Images'

Could they just not have used the passageways like everyone else ?!
