00:00Satsang with Mooji

00:30Welcome again to The Big Match.

00:49Today, we've got a marvellous match as our main one.

00:51It's Arsenal against Manchester United.

00:53And whatever you do, don't miss the start of it,

00:55or indeed the finish of it either.

00:57We shall also be talking to the new Arsenal skipper, Alan Ball,

01:00and we shall back that game up with Championship Challengers

01:02Liverpool against Coventry City,

01:04and from the Second Division, Hull City against Portsmouth.

01:09And at the end of the programme,

01:10we shall be bringing you the result of that crucial match this afternoon in Cyprus

01:13that'll tell us whether or not England have qualified

01:16for the quarter-finals of the European Championship.

01:19But first we go off to Highbury,

01:20where in the past 24 hours they've had a distinct change for the better.

01:24Alan Ball has settled his differences with the club,

01:26he came off the transfer list,

01:27and minutes before these pictures were taken,

01:29he'd been made captain of the team again.

01:31And nobody is likely to rise to that challenge

01:33with greater pleasure than Alan Ball himself.

01:35So that then is the setting for Arsenal,

01:38who've lost their last three games against Manchester United,

01:41who begin the day in third place in the First Division.

01:44Let's take a check on the two teams.

01:45Arsenal without Eddie Kelly and Alex Cropley,

01:48and in their side, two former Manchester United men,

01:50goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer and striker Brian Kidd.

01:54As for Manchester United, they are unchanged yet again,

01:56with Stuart Pearson having recovered from a slight thigh strain

02:00that he received while training with England in Portugal.

02:02And also in the Manchester United side, of course,

02:05is Gordon Hill,

02:06his second game since he left Millwall ten days ago.

02:10And in goal for United, Irishman Paddy Roach,

02:12preferred by manager Tommy Doherty to Alex Stepney.

02:15The referee is Roger Kirkpatrick from Leicester,

02:17with linesman Mr. Druitt and Mr. Patton.

02:20And now the 40,000 crowd waits for the stop.

02:24So Arsenal kick-off in their red shirts with white sleeves

02:27attacking the girl to our right.

02:30Against Manchester United in their chain strip of white

02:32with black shorts,

02:34as the ball's floated in towards Stapleton

02:35and it'll come to Alan Ball!

02:37And Ball has scored!

02:40About 13 seconds no more,

02:42and Alan Ball crowns that moment when he was made captain

02:47a quarter of an hour before the start

02:49with a goal in 13 seconds.

02:53Arsenal 1, Manchester United nil

02:55as the ball came floating in from the left.

02:58Stapleton was right in there

03:00and it was only half clear to Ball

03:02and Ball made no mistake as he poked it wide of Roach.

03:06Arsenal 1, Manchester United nil.

03:09What a tremendous start!

03:10And exactly the start that Arsenal wanted.

03:14With something of a minor crisis developing here,

03:18they'd slipped to 17th in the table.

03:21They'd won only two of their last 14.

03:23They'd lost their last three.

03:25And here they are against high-riding Manchester United.

03:28A goal up in a matter of seconds.

03:30A free kick now to Manchester United.

03:31And now we should see what they are made of.

03:36Stuart Pearson,

03:37who was injured in training for England in Portugal

03:40and told me before the start

03:42he really wasn't finished down and injured again.

03:45Daly, nice touch there between Manchester United players,

03:47but Daly's touch just a little too firm for Greenhoff

03:51and a throw to Arsenal.

04:05Good long throw there.

04:09And the chance to practice it again.

04:12Another Arsenal throw.

04:13Semi-Nelson, number four.

04:27It's back with Powling.

04:30Played for Rice.

04:33And now played for Armstrong.

04:34Oh, that was a good piece of running by Storey.

04:40Look at the space there for Peter Storey.

04:43And that's a deep cross there towards Stapleton.

04:45Knocked back again.

04:47Oh, no!

04:52Well, Manchester United nearly conceded another one there.

04:55A beautiful piece of play by Storey

04:57and a deep cross by him.

04:59Stapleton managed to knock it back.

05:01And as Brady came in, he hit it down

05:03and it bounced up under the crossbar.

05:06And over the top.

05:12Pearson.

05:15Powling sticking tight.

05:17Looked like obstruction was obstruction

05:19and it's a free kick again for Manchester United.

05:21Stuart Houston, the big number three,

05:23coming up, as you saw there.

05:29So right in that Arsenal penalty area.

05:33Nelson got it away.

05:39Nickel.

05:42Koppel.

05:44Back to Greenoff.

05:46An offside against Pearson

05:47who hadn't come back quickly enough.

05:48Good refereeing decision there by Roger Kirkpatrick.

05:51Allowed the game to go on.

05:53Stapleton a nice touch.

05:54Ball, an even better one now.

05:56Finding Brian Kidd.

05:57Good moving here by Arsenal

05:58and Houston knocked it away.

06:01Kidd again.

06:05Now with Sammy Nelson.

06:10Well, it's not away yet.

06:11But Storey...

06:11Oh!

06:13It's a funny thing for the goalkeeper, Roach, to do.

06:15He was quite unmolested there.

06:17Could safely have caught it.

06:18And he's explaining now why he had to punch it.

06:26Oh, Brady.

06:27Liam Brady.

06:29A deep cross again.

06:30Once more towards Stapleton.

06:31He's winning some good balls in the air, Stapleton.

06:33But now here's Koppel.

06:41McIlroy.

06:44Three or four Manchester United players have gone up quickly

06:46and that was pushed away.

06:48And McIlroy almost got in the second one

06:49but that was a good punching save

06:51by Jimmy Rimmer.

06:56Now Kidd.

06:59McIlroy still injured.

07:02Collided with Powling.

07:04Arsenal taking it up again with Brady.

07:08Long and a beautiful pass there to Armstrong.

07:12And Arsenal really going well at the moment

07:14as Ball takes up a good position

07:15and hit first time by Kidd.

07:17But the quality of the move was there to see again.

07:22And the blood on the face of McIlroy

07:24is there to see as well.

07:26And David McCreary, the Manchester United substitute

07:28warming up as a precaution.

07:33Tommy Docherty now down on the

07:36tunnel area.

07:41So he's looking a little bit worried.

07:43Bobby Campbell, the Arsenal coach there as well.

07:46And Tommy Docherty saying to David McCreary

07:48it's time for you to go on.

08:07Nickle, Daly, Koppel, back for Jimmy Nickle again, he might get a shot in here, took a deflection, might come for Hill, he's not having much of a day so far Gordon Hill, ball, Rice, oh that might put it back into trouble and here's Hill again, free kick,

08:32and Alan Ball giving Pat Rice a bit of his mind, but not having got that ball away, played it back into the danger area, and the danger not over yet for Arsenal, as Houston now takes his free kick again,

08:51Driven, just over,

08:53Oh, that could have caught him by surprise, Jimmy River saying how many he wants in the wall, because Houston really caught that well, just a shade too high,

09:16free kick, foul on Stapleton by Nickle,

09:23Staple and Armstrong there for Arsenal, an indirect free kick,

09:43as Nelson floats in high towards Staple,

09:46and bliss

09:46Oh and they missed it completely, and Armstrong missed a chance, oh and it's it, it's the own goal, it's the own goal,

09:51Greenhoff finally put it over

09:53but without any doubt at all

09:57it was the fault of the

09:59Manchester United goalkeeper Paddy Roach

10:01so Paddy Roach

10:04was the man really to play

10:06was that long one came in

10:08he got underneath it, too far underneath it perhaps

10:10couldn't hold it

10:11Armstrong it seemed had the chance of an open goal

10:14and didn't hit it really well

10:15and in the end it was Greenhoff who had to turn it into the net

10:18Arsenal 2, Manchester United 0

10:23an own goal by

10:25Brian Greenhoff

10:26although in all honesty

10:27there wasn't very much that he could have done about it

10:30but certainly there was plenty that Roach could have done

10:33so that puts Manchester United

10:39in a lot of trouble now

10:41Buchan beating ball

10:47Macari

10:48must say London is a far from happy hunting ground for

10:52Manchester United

10:53they've been here to Queen's Park Rangers and lost this season

10:57they've been to West Ham and lost

10:58and now they're very much on the receiving end here at Highbury

11:01well Tommy Docherty was the man who picked

11:04Paddy Roach and he left Alex Stepney out about three or four games ago

11:08wondering if he's considering that decision now

11:11Rice

11:14having much the better of it

11:17Arsenal

11:17Nelson

11:19ball

11:21Rice

11:24Armstrong again

11:28Rice planning it forward towards Stapleton

11:34and a nice flick on by Stapleton there for George Armstrong

11:37good cross by him but it'll be a little too deep

11:40and Cothall will pick it up for Manchester United

11:43Story

11:47absolutely dominating it though

11:50Arsenal

11:50Manchester United scarcely with a look in it at the moment

11:54Nelson

11:58ball

11:59a 1-2 again for Sammy Nelson

12:01there's the cross coming in deep again towards Stapleton

12:05I think he took a packet in the face then too

12:08O'Leary

12:10still the pressure stays on Manchester United

12:13there's Armstrong

12:15knows he's got to hold it because Stapleton was in an offside position

12:19a little chip towards the near post there

12:21easy easy

12:22cry the crowd

12:23as Greenov has to give away a corner

12:25Brady with the cross

12:39deep towards Stapleton

12:40and it's his head that got it

12:42and again Roach was found wanting a little bit on that cross

12:48Terry Mancini there I'm sure you recognise him

12:55Brady

12:57and Greenov

13:03in his determination to get that one in a touch

13:05I think collided rather awkwardly there with Brian Kidd

13:09Tommy Kavanagh

13:14the Manchester United trainer

13:16used to be at Brentford

13:19I'm sure everybody there remembers him

13:20well that was a push on Pearson as well

13:26but Manchester United in possession

13:28it comes through to Hill

13:29can he make something of this

13:30Macari for Gordon Hill

13:31oh and he sliced it just wide

13:33the first real genuine attacking move

13:37we've seen from Manchester United

13:38Hill you could see was annoyed there

13:40but he played it beautifully with Macari

13:42found himself free

13:44and then hit it wide of that far post

13:46the goal then would have been

13:51just what Manchester United required

13:52to restore their spirit a little bit

13:55Rice for Arsenal

14:11Frank Stable it again

14:17oh he's turned well there

14:18and Buchan

14:19could only give it to Ball

14:21chipped in again towards Kidd

14:22and a fraction too high for him

14:24and Arsenal so much on top

14:25in spite of that scare at the other end

14:29with Gordon Hill

14:30they are looking so much the better side

14:31as the whistle goes for half time

14:352-0 to Arsenal in a lead

14:38they thoroughly deserve

14:39mind you they couldn't have got off

14:40to a better start

14:41with a goal

14:41in the first seconds of the game

14:43by number 7 Alan Paul

14:45their skipper

14:45and won by Brian Green

14:48off an own goal

14:49after goalkeeper Paddy Roach

14:50had failed to hold a cross

14:51that made it 2

14:53but a lead as I say

14:55that Arsenal dominating this game

14:57so thoroughly deserved

14:58we'll have to come back

15:00in a couple of minutes

15:00to see whether Manchester United

15:01can do anything about it

15:02in the second half

15:03the half time score then

15:04Arsenal 2

15:06Manchester United 0

15:07and we'll be right back with you

15:09so welcome back to

15:21Hivery Manchester United

15:22now attacking the goal

15:22to our right

15:23two goals down though

15:24but Brian Green off

15:26who was hobbling off the field

15:27at the half time interval

15:28is now back on the field

15:30and indeed back

15:31in a defensive position

15:32so that looks a little better

15:33for Manchester United

15:34but now here's Armstrong

15:37and indeed things have

15:38got to look a lot better

15:38for Manchester United

15:39if they're going to pick

15:40anything out of this game

15:41it's with Pat Rice

15:43and a goal kick

15:45for Manchester United

15:47Green off

15:59finding Steve Koppel

16:01the lad from Liverpool University

16:06Jerry Daly

16:10to Jimmy Nichol

16:12Daly again

16:15Pearson trying a glancing head

16:23of it

16:23Powling was behind him

16:24but it's a free throw

16:24to Manchester United

16:26Pearson

16:32Pearson

16:32Kopel

16:47Coel

16:48Coel

16:49Coel

16:50Coel

16:52Coel

16:53Coel

16:54Manchester United's corner.

17:03Houston up. Pearson there, nickel up.

17:07Macquarie, Daly, Hill.

17:12And McCreary right in there.

17:14They've left only three back as Koppel turns that one in and Houston

17:18got up higher than everybody by at least a couple of feet.

17:21But he was also more than a couple of feet wide.

17:29Cross comes in again towards Kidd.

17:33A little too high.

17:36Again, a lack of inches in that Manchester United defence

17:39very nearly costing them dear as Kidd got up for that one.

17:51Free kick.

18:01To Manchester United.

18:06Twelve minutes of the second half gone.

18:09Macquarie with it.

18:10Pearson's header.

18:11McCreary right in there.

18:12And O'Leary away.

18:15Houston trying to make something of it.

18:17Now, Rice and Ball between them can set up an Arsenal counter-thrust here.

18:25Here's Rice.

18:28Ball wanting it square.

18:29Armstrong's come up fast.

18:31Rice is delayed.

18:32Here's Ball.

18:33Played again there for Brady.

18:35Yes!

18:35No!

18:35Look for all the world like number three.

18:44Rice made a tremendous break down the right for Arsenal.

18:47Ball was there alive to it as well.

18:49And it came in for Brady and it looked as though he'd made it number three.

18:56Free kick to Manchester United.

18:58Green off.

19:07Houston.

19:10Gordon Hill.

19:11Manchester United.

19:21Manchester United.

19:22Manchester United.

19:23Manchester United.

19:26Macquarie battling away and finally winning it.

19:30Nickel coming up fast but he won't have much of a chance of getting that.

19:33And the throw given to Manchester United.

19:36Sammy Nelson not agreeing.

19:38Although the decision's been given.

19:40I don't know what he's playing at again.

19:46Koppel.

19:50Nickel.

19:53Well, this might come to something.

19:54Yes, it's there!

19:56And Pearson is the man who scored it.

20:05Well, that brings Manchester United right back in the game.

20:08Against all the odds.

20:12There really was only a half chance there.

20:14And Stuart Pearson.

20:17Was the man who whacked it home.

20:19High into the roof of the net.

20:22Arsenal 2.

20:23Manchester United 1.

20:24Stapleton.

20:24And...

20:24Nelson with the throw.

20:44Here's Kidd.

20:45Off couple for another Arsenal throw.

20:49Nelson with it.

20:50Oh, he's got that cross in well.

20:53Oh, he's got that cross in well.

20:58And Stapleton couldn't quite turn it in.

21:01Some tremendous work there by Kidd in a very confined space.

21:05Got a good cross in.

21:06And he eluded all those United defenders.

21:08And Stapleton couldn't quite get the header in.

21:10But were really accounted.

21:23Sammy Nelson with the free kick.

21:26Oh, what a bad one.

21:27Hit straight up, Koppel.

21:28Well, an argument as to which way that throw should go.

21:39Certainly as far as the crowd were concerned.

21:41But what matters was that linesmen and referees said Manchester United.

21:45Green off.

21:48Bucken.

21:50Nickel.

21:50Pearson tried a delicate little touch and it fell only for Brady and not for Daly.

22:00Armstrong.

22:04Through for Brady.

22:05What a good ball there for Pat Rice.

22:10Ball up there to support him, but Rice curling it in.

22:13Oh, and he was in terrible trouble then, was Roach.

22:16Rice curling that one in, always towards the far post.

22:23And it looked as though Roach had gone a little too much underneath it again.

22:27But in the end he hadn't.

22:34Storey.

22:36Kidd.

22:38Stapleton.

22:39And a free kick now at Manchester United.

23:03Kidd.

23:04Kidd.

23:07Ball.

23:09Armstrong.

23:16Everybody fighting for the ball.

23:19Ball again.

23:20Kidd trying to come away from Green off.

23:22And turning on him well.

23:24And hitting across.

23:25Oh!

23:26Deflection there from an own defender.

23:30That put it just wide of Roach.

23:33But also wide of the post.

23:34Oh!

23:35Oh!

23:36Oh!

23:37Oh!

23:38Oh!

23:39Oh!

23:40Oh!

23:41Oh!

23:42Oh!

23:43So another corner for Arsenal.

23:45Ball and Armstrong considering the possibilities.

23:47And Ball saying he wants Hill and Macari back ten yards.

23:54So Armstrong hitting this one towards Brady.

23:57Headed in first time.

23:58Stabledon was there but didn't really get off the ground.

23:59Pearson

24:02Heading it there for Makaru with that busy stride of his

24:05Arsenal coming back quickly

24:08And Brady just doing enough to stop them

24:12There's Nelson

24:14Well offside

24:29So Nicol with a kick

24:30Gailey

24:40Koppel

24:43Waited there for Makaru

24:50Hit again by Koppel

24:51Good looking break again by Manchester United

24:57Still this goal behind

24:58And they now have 16 minutes left in which to

25:02Make good that damage

25:04Heading and Pearson

25:10Tremendous battle on the pitch

25:18And there's a battle of voices on the terraces as well

25:21Great atmosphere

25:28Now Pearson

25:34Koppel

25:37Koppel

25:40Nicol

25:44On to the left foot

25:45Oh and a deflection that took it over

25:47Mind you it would have been very interesting to know what would have happened but for that deflection

25:51It looked as though it was screaming just under the crossbar

25:54When Nicol hit it deflected just over

25:58So a corner for Manchester United

26:01Who are now coming back hard at Arsenal

26:04Having been out of it for so long

26:07Koppel's corner

26:11Houston's header

26:12Houston's header

26:13Now ball

26:16To Kidd

26:18Yes went in just a little too crudely there

26:23Ball right up there

26:27Really has had a fine game

26:30Really involved all the time

26:32And there's ball again with a backward header just over

26:34But not much in it

26:36He's had a brilliant game

26:38A real captain's game

26:41He's been everywhere

26:43Having got his side on the right foot

26:45From the word go

26:46Heading that one backwards

26:49And just over the crossbar

26:50Daly

26:58And a throw

27:06To Manchester United

27:08Pearson

27:14Koppel

27:16Or will he get through

27:17Still Koppel

27:19Now this might open up Arsenal a little bit

27:21Here's Nicol

27:22Hit first time

27:25There's Pearson

27:26Snatched at it

27:28When he'd been played onside

27:29By that ricochet

27:30And put it well wide

27:35Now Armstrong

27:38Space up there for him

27:40And ball again supporting him

27:41There's Alan Ball

27:42There's the little cross coming in

27:45And it might come through

27:45They're very unsure of themselves at times

27:51In that Manchester United defence

27:52And Ball's delicate little chip

27:55Very nearly caught them out again

27:57Whether it's just that slight lack of confidence in the goalkeeper

28:06Who missed the cross for the second goal

28:10Although he's a Republic of Ireland international

28:12Has won seven caps Paddy Roach

28:14Good reputation

28:15And he almost had more work to do there

28:19As Ball went racing in at the near post

28:21And it was Gordon Hill who got it away

28:23Now Ball again

28:28Back heel this time for Armstrong

28:30Two of the old brigade there

28:32And Stapleton there

28:35And Roach dropped it at the last

28:37In fact he very nearly dropped it over the line

28:40As that cross came in

28:41Stapleton rose again so well as he'd been doing all afternoon

28:44And Roach nearly muffed it

28:47Kidd

28:49Now Brady

28:55Kidd again

29:00Stapleton outside him

29:01Kidd desperate for a goal

29:02Against his own club

29:03And he

29:04His own club

29:05And he very nearly found it there

29:06Ball again

29:20Armstrong

29:24Rice

29:27Armstrong again

29:29Ball

29:38Picking his way past one defender

29:40Then another

29:41There's the ball again

29:42He's played across once more

29:43Towards Stapleton

29:45And Roach could only push it behind

29:47For the corner

29:48We're in the last minute of the game

29:53Armstrong taking it

30:00Hit under that crossbar

30:09Oh and he pushed it in

30:10Well it's there for number three

30:14Whether it goes to Armstrong

30:17Or whether it was punched in by the goalkeeper Roach

30:20That's what the players themselves will have to decide

30:23I think Arsenal will want to give that to George Armstrong

30:26But there's no doubt at all as that corner came curling in

30:31That Paddy Roach

30:33That Paddy Roach

30:33Was at fault

30:35Arsenal 3

30:38Manchester United 1

30:40Score a George Armstrong

30:43And the final whistle is gone

30:45Arsenal began brilliantly with a goal in 15 seconds

30:51From Alan Ball the number seven

30:53And ended it brilliantly with one in the last 15 seconds from George Armstrong

30:57An own goal by Brian Greenhoff

31:01And Stuart Pearson the man

31:03Who scored the goal for Manchester United

31:06But a sad day for poor old Paddy Roach

31:12And another Irishman goes along there

31:14To pat him on the back

31:16Frank Stapleton

31:16But Arsenal clawing their way out of that minor crisis

31:21Halting that run of defeats

31:23With a win over high-flying Manchester United

31:26Which they thoroughly deserve

31:27A final scoreline then at Highbury

31:29Arsenal 3

31:30Manchester United 1

31:32Superb game of football

31:41And for the Arsenal of course

31:42An end to that worrying run of defeats

31:44And for that I think they have to thank

31:46In no small measure

31:47Their new skipper Alan Ball

31:48The man of the match

31:49Afterwards I began by asking Alan

31:51When he knew that he was to be made

31:53Arsenal skipper

31:54I was told to take the ball out

31:56That's the first time

31:57Bertie Mee mentioned it to me

31:58Why was that?

32:01Well it probably

32:02It was his final G-up

32:03Both to me and to the team

32:05And before I went out

32:07He says now you take them out

32:08You're a skipper

32:09Make them of it

32:10Get on with the game

32:12Drive them on

32:13And let's go

32:16Go out and win

32:16Did you need that sort of gym?

32:17Well it's

32:19You know

32:20After what's happened to me

32:21It's a nice thing

32:22To be recognised again

32:24And it just gives that tiny little lift

32:26Yeah

32:26You've settled all your differences

32:28At Highbury now

32:29Yeah I've had a complete change of heart

32:30Yeah

32:30And you'll finish your career here

32:33Do you think Alan?

32:33I hope so

32:34I hope so yes

32:35Well it was a marvellous start

32:37Tell us about that opening goal

32:38I think we tied it at something like 13 seconds

32:40Well they're the type of things

32:42That very very rarely happen to you

32:43And we've not practised anything like that

32:46I think they shut off both our wings

32:47Where we normally knock the ball to

32:48So Brian Kidd went forward a little bit

32:50He finally knocked it back to Sammy Nelson

32:52He played into the middle

32:53It was just an actual reaction of mine

32:55To just go and follow things on into the box

32:57And I shouted for Frankie Stapleton

32:59To knock it back

33:01And before I knew that it was

33:03On the old trusty left foot

33:04But for all that

33:05It was a day for the

33:06If I can put it this way

33:07The old stages

33:07I mean you having got in there

33:08And whack one in straight away

33:09And Georgie Armstrong back in the fold

33:11And right at the end

33:12He had a say in something as well

33:14Yeah

33:14Well we gave him the first goal as well

33:16George

33:16You got the two of them

33:17You gave him the first one?

33:18Yeah the first one

33:19We gave it to him

33:20He kicked it in the roof

33:22With a net green

33:22But it was over the line

33:24Oh the own goal one

33:25Yes

33:25And you've given that to George as well

33:27And he's pleased about that

33:29Delighted

33:29We ought to see if his delight is justified

33:32As we look again at those two goals

33:33Attributed to George Armstrong

33:35The first I must say to me

33:36Looked very much like an own goal

33:37By Brian Greenoff

33:38And I think when you look at it here

33:39You'll see that the ball was in no way

33:41Over the line

33:42When George Armstrong hit it

33:43Some bad goalkeeping there

33:44By poor Paddy Roche

33:45And in fact George doesn't do all that well here

33:48Only half hits it

33:48And now look

33:49It must be at least five yards out

33:51When Greenoff

33:52First takes it on his thigh

33:54Doesn't really control it very well

33:56And much as I would like to see that

33:58Given to George Armstrong

33:58I think that's got to go down

34:00As an own goal

34:01What about the second one though

34:03Right on the last whistle

34:05A delicate in swinging corner there

34:07From George Armstrong

34:08And again I think you'll find

34:09The whole of the ball

34:10Is not over the line

34:11When Paddy Roche

34:12Who had a real nightmare game

34:13Poor fella

34:13Knocks it into the back of the net

34:15I think there's a little more justification

34:17For giving that goal

34:18To George Armstrong

34:19But I think it's generosity gone mad

34:21If you give him the first one as well

34:24But if Arsenal want to do that

34:25Who am I to argue

34:26And you can't get a better little battler

34:28Than George Armstrong

34:29But while I was talking there

34:30To Alan Ball

34:31Our conversation turned to

34:32The sad state of England's international game

34:34And I asked him

34:35If he was as depressed about it

34:37As most people are

34:38Well yes and no

34:40I just want to be back in there

34:43That's all

34:43That's all I'm playing for really

34:45I'm playing with my club

34:46And I'm playing to get back

34:47In the England team

34:48Do you think that's a possibility now

34:49I've just got to keep playing

34:51And showing him that I'm still

34:52Good enough to play

34:53I think I am

34:54But how does it affect you

34:55When people say we're not good enough

34:56We're not skilful enough

34:57Well at the minute we're not

35:01Because we've been

35:04At the last two competitions

35:05We've not qualified for them

35:06Why is that Alan do you think

35:08Why aren't we skilful enough

35:10Because the players at the moment

35:14Aren't good enough

35:16I mean I've sat on an England bench

35:19With Bobby Moore

35:19Greedsy and myself subs

35:22We had an abundance of players

35:24Who could go and win games

35:25And world class players

35:27At that level

35:29We've lots of very very good

35:31Club players in the country

35:32But at the international level

35:34There's so many lacking

35:35They've got to have that little bit

35:36Of something in them

35:39To make them world class players

35:40And international class players

35:42And at the moment

35:43Unless the blend isn't there

35:45Unless the lads aren't there

35:46That are in the team at the moment

35:47There must be some others

35:48That are international players

35:50What would bring that back

35:51Do you think

35:51The skills of the game

35:52Well the skills are there

35:54But it's just the players

35:56I might seem to be contradicting myself

35:57At the moment

35:58But it's the players

35:59Who are not playing

36:00Who are not

36:01The bad lads

36:02If I can put it that way

36:04They're the ones

36:04Who've all got all the skill

36:05And thank goodness

36:06He's put balls in

36:08I think Hudson's got to be

36:09The next one

36:10Even Charlie George

36:11They can do something

36:12At international level

36:14Because they're skillful

36:15They're good players

36:16And they're world class players

36:17I think the only two

36:18Nearing world class

36:19In the England team

36:20Are BT and Todd

36:21Really?

36:22If they play them

36:22As double centre halves

36:24Do you regard yourself

36:25As a bad lad?

36:27Er

36:27I've been a little bit

36:28Out of order at times

36:29Always am in trouble

36:30But that's me

36:31I mean

36:32When you do things

36:33In the week

36:34And you're liable

36:35To get into bother

36:36And that

36:36You're liable to do

36:37Crazy things on a Saturday

36:38That's how you play

36:39If you're a nice person

36:40During the week

36:41You go about your work

36:42You do it

36:43Do it

36:43You do the same things

36:44On Saturday

36:45There's not that spark there

36:47I'm always that way

36:48I want to be that way

36:49Arsenal skipper

36:51Alan Boar

36:51But now it's time

36:52For our second match

36:53On the programme

36:53And for this

36:54We pick up the unhappy season

36:55That Portsmouth are having

36:56They're stuck firmly

36:58At the bottom of the second division

36:59They've not won at home

36:59In the league

37:00And they've had only

37:01Won away win

37:02That's in 17 games

37:03At which point

37:03They went yesterday

37:04To Hull City

37:05The pictures come from

37:06Yorkshire television

37:07Commentator Keith Macklin

37:08Portsmouth are in the white shirts

37:10We pick up the game

37:11In the second half

37:11For just a couple of snatches

37:13Haig

37:14De Vries

37:17Lawler got that away

37:23Grimes back

37:24Wagstaff

37:25Greenwood

37:26And the panning

37:28Portsmouth defence

37:29Still gets it away

37:30Still gets it away

37:30Macken

37:32Mellows

37:33Wood

37:34Gibson

37:35Flicked on for Galvin

37:38With 13 minutes left to play

37:51The deadlock is broken

37:53And a beautiful move

37:55A lovely through ball

37:56Picked up by Galvin

37:57And

37:58Davey Gibson

38:00In that move

38:02As he's been so many

38:03But the scorer

38:04Chris Galvin

38:06Turning

38:06And a beautiful low

38:08Right foot shot

38:09Kyle back to Went

38:13Roberts

38:19Wheelan's coming for it

38:22The punch

38:23Reynolds picking up

38:25The backheader

38:25From Grimes

38:26Macken

38:29Kamara

38:30Kamara

38:31Oh and it got shot

38:33By Wheelan

38:34From Graeme

38:35It was almost 1-1

38:36As George Graeme

38:37Hit that

38:37Good diving reflex

38:39Save by Wheelan's

38:41Graeme

38:42Clipped that roll

38:43To Marinello

38:46Marinello

38:50Overrunning it

38:51Went

38:51Lawler

38:54Roberts

38:58Graeme's back

39:04Head of Reynolds

39:04He's onside

39:05In the box

39:05He's missed it

39:06Nobody on him

39:08He may not have known that

39:09That's why he snatched at it

39:11But he was absolutely unmarked

39:13Around the penalty spot

39:14That somehow sums up

39:15The season that poor old Portsmouth

39:17Are having

39:17Still of course rooted

39:18At the bottom of the second division

39:20And now we come to our third game

39:29And it's Liverpool against Coventry City

39:31At Anfield

39:32Liverpool going hard towards the top

39:34Yet again

39:34Granada's cameras were there

39:36To see them

39:36Commentator Gerald Sinstadt

39:38Liverpool are in the all dark strip

39:40Mortimer

39:43Neil

39:47Thompson

39:48Thompson

39:48Joey Jones

40:00Torshack

40:04Torshack

40:05Mortimer losing it to Callaghan

40:17Beautiful little chip from Callaghan to Case

40:25Highway in the middle

40:27Cross didn't reach him

40:28Got away by Holmes

40:29But Case will try again

40:31This time deeper

40:33And Neil coming

40:34Good hitter

40:34And Torshack

40:35Chase's deep cross

40:43Met by Phil Neil

40:45And the nod back across the goal

40:47Made it a formality

40:49For John Torshack

40:50Hughes

40:54Hutchison

40:57And now Hutchison has made himself some room

41:02Into the middle first time

41:04And a present by Hughes

41:05Great save by Clemens

41:07And a second time

41:08And Murphy there

41:09Missed the chance to put Coventry back on terms

41:13A mistake by Emlyn Hughes

41:15Murphy found himself with the ball at his feet

41:18Somehow or other Clemens got in the way

41:21And when it came back at him the second time

41:23He was able to grab that

41:25Murphy

41:28Chased back by Kennedy

41:32Somewhat delayed tumble by Murphy

41:39Really was the real thing

41:47And not the slow motion replay

41:48Holmes

41:52And the foul given against Cross

41:57On Thompson

42:00That was Brogan's header

42:19Hutchison

42:20Foul given

42:26Free sending Brogan back to his place

42:34And putting him in his place

42:36Free kick for Phil Neil

42:42Heading towards Torshack

42:48Turned in

42:49Case

42:51Hutchison

42:57Chased back by Case

42:59And Case makes a good tackle

43:00Mortimer

43:13Cross lofted towards Cross

43:20And Clemens is lost

43:21And it's in

43:23By Powell

43:24Clemens complaining that he was impeded

43:27But as the high cross came over

43:31Graham Cross went for it

43:33With Clemens

43:33Clemens didn't get hold of the ball firmly

43:36And Powell was there

43:38To hit it

43:38Not very hard

43:39Just inside the post

43:41Callaghan

43:44Thompson to Jones

43:52Callaghan

43:54And the pass to Highway

44:01Found Highway wanting it at his feet

44:04And it went two yards ahead of him

44:06Hutchison forced a double back for Powell's pass

44:22But still in possession

44:24Murphy couldn't take it on his chest

44:31But there's Coop here

44:32And Cross got to it

44:35With his

44:36Inside of his right foot

44:38And just put it past the post

44:40The ball

44:41Allowed to run on

44:43By Murphy to Coop

44:44And Coop's cross

44:46Well met

44:46By David Cross

44:48Here's Morton

45:04Still got Jones to beat

45:06Powell's back heel for Morton

45:10Straight up in the air

45:15Header away by Thompson

45:17But Murphy has it

45:19And he's got Brogan there to help him

45:21And Hutchison number 11

45:22Hutchison trying to lob Clemens

45:25Absolutely deliberate

45:28Poised himself

45:30Balanced and then just flicked it

45:32With his right foot

45:32And it had Clemens backpedalling

45:34To turn it over

45:35So Liverpool held to a draw

45:38Now it's time to bring you up to date

45:39With that vital European Championship match

45:41Being played in Cyprus this afternoon

45:42Between Cyprus and Czechoslovakia

45:44Because of course if Czechoslovakia win

45:45Then England out

45:47And I'm afraid the news is very bad news

45:49Because this is the final score

45:51Cyprus 0

45:51Czechoslovakia 3

45:53England out

45:54In fact the Czechs were 3 up at half time

45:56With goals by Nahoda

45:57Bichowski and Masny

45:59At times we were told it was like a practice game

46:01So Wales then are the only British side

46:03Now left in the quarter finals

46:05Of the European Championship

46:06A rather sad note for us to end on today

46:08But at least for Arsenal fans

46:10There's some consolation

46:11In the performance of their team yesterday

46:13And the return to the fold

46:14Of their skipper Alan Ball

46:16And his goal in 13 seconds

46:17Was surely the fastest televised goal

46:19Of the whole season

46:20And we were very delighted

46:22In the big match

46:23To be able to bring this particular goal

46:25To you

46:25So Arsenal kick off

46:27In their red shirts

46:28With white sleeves

46:28Attacking the goal to our right

46:30Against Manchester United

46:32In their chain strip of white

46:33With black shorts

46:34As the ball's floated in

46:36Towards Stapleton

46:36And it'll come to Alan Ball

46:38And Ball has scored

46:39About 30 seconds no more

46:43And Alan Ball crowns

46:46That moment when he was made captain

46:48A quarter of an hour before the start

46:50With a goal in 13 seconds

46:52Go to sensitivity
