OK, I'll expand. What is the point of showing old clips of mindless violence, resulting in someone needing to be removed on a stretcher? The thread title is 'Footage from 70s V Exeter', except there is no footie, just some idiot running on the pitch, and a supporter getting hurt. History. Like watching World at War or The Beginning of the Third Reich on telly. |

The thread title in this case was misleading I disagree. Whilst I would far rather see the highlights of Willie Brown's basketball skills against Grimsby, I am interested in anything that shows Torquay United players on the pitch. I was disappointed here because I couldn't recognise any players and soon realised it wasn't Torquay. But I would rather have access to "possible sightings" to judge for myself. Football culture in the 70s was what I grew up in. Looking back now it is shocking, but none the less interesting. I have nostalgia for the football of the 70s, because most people have a strong attachment to what they experienced as they were growing up. The football was mostly sh*t, the violence was sh*t but it was the sh*t that I grew up with. |

Cheers Jon and others...have a look at my other youtube tufc videos on youtube ...I had old vhs material from 1980s and have taken time to edit them and present them for myself and others to enjoy.I couldn't careless if it's possible footage for us all to analyse or definite footage of gulls of yesterday year. Football or non football related ...I think fans running onto a pitch is still just as interesting as football footage....the old players were there , footage of a old grounds ect ect. I love anything tufc history related even if it's wrong...thats the job of us all history people I'm a busy with work and have some more stuff to upload so watch this space |

Yes any old footage is always appreciated. I know Jon found those lovely old british pathe film clips of the Leeds and Spurs games from the 50s and 60s. However i would love to know if any old TSW or Westward TV as it was back then local football highlights from the 70s have survived. They usually lasted only 2 or 3 minutes at the end of the evening regional news. I certainly remember the home game against Grimsby in 77...the game when Willie Brown blatently controlled the ball with his hand and ran on to score in a game we won 3 1 with commentary from a loud Chris Fear. Highlights of the Newcastle cup game away in 79 were also shown but i guess that was courtesy of Tyne Tees television at the time maybe. The majority of the games covered featured Plymouth and Exeter i think but on the odd occasion after we had seen Chis Fear up on the gantry on the Saturday we just had to catch the last 5 minutes of Mondays local news...
