Football Documentaries (IPLAYER)

[ftm1971]

Found a couple of good ones, old mind, so some of you will probably have seen them, but if you haven't, these two are well worth a watch...

Aberdeen '83:Once in a lifetime
and
Scotland 78:A Love Story

First one following Ferguson's European adventure and the second one particularly resonated with me because the '78 WC got me into football proper.

 

[The Black Sock]

Might watch those. ‘78 was my first WC. Remember the jocks being heavily fancied and given a heroes send off. That was followed by the Willie Johnstone debacle then rubbish performances against Peru and Iran.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Both of them are worth watching, particularly the '78 one, which has a little twist at the very end.

The '78 one is worth watching for Gemmill's goal alone

Remember it vividly. Astonishing they beat that unbelievable Dutch team but we’re shite against Peru and Iran. From my albeit blurred recollection every Dutch goal at that WC was a 30 yard screamer. What a team that was.

Always thought the Scottish national team underperformed in that late 70’s, early 80’s period….fair few good players at clubs winning European comps in England and Scotland

Scottish football was a good standard back then. Even into the mid 80’s you had Aberdeen and Dundee united doing well domestically and in Europe. You are right though cos they went to Argentina as one of the favourites.

 

[Carley Hill wanderer]

The Aberdeen one's good, you'll find a lot of good Scottish one's on the I player, there was a 6 part one about different players, Archibald, Nicolas and Sturrock were 3 of the player one's, also one on Archie McPherson

@Doberman 1st one will be right up your street

All good players although Nicholas struggled at Arsenal.

Peru were a very good team back then, probably their best ever team.

Ally MacLeod turned down a chance to scout them before the tournament because he thought Scotland would have no trouble beating them.

Drawing with a poor Iran team was a worse result in a way.

 

[David Brent]

Scotland 78:A Love Story, excellent this.

I watched the Aberdeen one a while ago. Enjoyed it. There was a few more about individual players like Charlie Nicholas and Steve Archibald which were good as well.
