Transcript
00:03And here at Upton Park, we have a chance of seeing West Ham United, there they are, fresh from Houston
00:09in Texas, and Leeds United, a team already in the semi-final of the first cup of the second season
00:15in succession, the semi-final of the FA Cup, and could well be runners-up in the football league.
00:22So a big crowd here at Upton Park, to see this important first division match, and there's West Ham United,
00:29a bit tired after travelling all the way from Houston, they've had to make some changes, Bobby Moore you'll notice
00:34will wear number five, but their star in Houston when they played Real Madrid was number 11, John Sissons, he
00:42had a great game there, scored one of the two goals against Real Madrid, fine young player, I wonder what
00:47he's got in his hand there, Houston.
00:49Now, Leeds United, had a hard game on Wednesday, they've had full luck with injuries throughout the season, they've had
00:56to make even more changes in this match, and still they can turn out a first class side, not one
01:02of those players, Costa Penny, the oldest player in the team, is number 11, Albert Johansson from South Africa, and
01:09he is the ripe old age of 25.
01:11West Ham United to kick off, and from the Astro Turf of Houston, now to the Bear Upton Park, which
01:25is suffering with the ravages of the whole season's football.
01:30West Ham United, here's Gray, here's Gray, and the great young players of tomorrow.
01:43Gray to the Hunter, Greeny moving up, number two.
02:04Boyce, with engine room with the West Ham team, Sissons, and up comes Bovington.
02:21Greeny moving, room, make the break, the ball across to Gray.
02:34Fine move, Ryan, lead, there's Gray.
02:46Boyce, going for that ball well.
02:51Quarter of an hour gone, no score, and here come Leeds again, it's Bremner.
02:59Foul by Peters.
03:06Bremner, the rope, fears about his health a few days ago, it was thought that he had a grumbling appendix.
03:15It doesn't appear to be grumbling very loudly this afternoon, does it?
03:27Now, with a side like Leeds, they could...
03:30Well, engineer something from this move, and it's Lottimer, might have a crack.
03:36Not a bad sort of crack either, was it?
03:38Peter Lottimer.
03:49Well, the old telepathy went wrong then, so it's Bremner bringing it clear for Leeds.
03:58Belpit, drew himself, now back to Gray, Belpit.
04:06Green hop, to Bremner.
04:14And Moore coming away on the break now, take that one from Boyce.
04:21Well attempted to challenge, notice.
04:25Moore, you see it bounce up, just as Moore's shot.
04:37Moore, number five, the skipper of West Ham.
04:4650 minutes from half time, no score.
04:53Couldn't get a hair's breadth between these two sides.
05:09great skill great energy great determination
05:14great powers of leadership
05:17that was by grey
05:23and a beautiful goal
05:25scored by
05:26he's offside
05:28he's offside
05:29as well as he got a bang in the face
05:31there he is
05:36there you are
05:54Hunter
05:54no foot in action again
05:57to Dremnow
05:59Wiener's now moved up
06:00to the front line
06:03Lorimer
06:05what a great shot
06:07and what a goal by Lorimer
06:12Peter Lorimer number 7
06:1833 minutes long
06:20Leeds take the lead
06:23let's relive that goal again
06:25now the man with the ball is mainly
06:27but the man to watch is Bremner
06:28he's the middle man in the foreground
06:30the fellow with his stockings right over his boots
06:32he's the man who makes this goal
06:34this is Bremner now
06:35now he's got the defence completely going the wrong way
06:38a line of three defenders
06:39Sissons doesn't know which way to go
06:41now number two Rini moving up
06:44but he's only a decoy
06:45watch now how Bremner throws the defence completely off guard
06:48he goes the other way
06:50and then comes that beautiful pass not to number two but to number seven
06:54Lorimer the man with the hardest shot in football
06:56he's got a line of three defenders
06:58the goalkeeper a bit out of position
07:00and now here comes the hardest shot in football
07:03which completely demoralises West Ham
07:12playing now the time for injures
07:16I have a look at his watch
07:23kitchen
07:34and the whistle goes for half time
07:37their ball at his feet is the goal scorer
07:40Peter Lorimer
07:44good first half
07:46he's deservedly in the lead by one goal to
07:49know
07:51leads United kickoff having proved in 45
07:56minutes that they're a mighty difficult
07:58side to beat and when you consider they
08:01have many star players on the sidelines
08:04injury another reason you realize what a
08:07team they are
08:11Cooper and Graeme will be down the left
08:13screaming for it
08:15here's Grey

10:10peter
10:20and the referee still hasn't seen bovington
10:24now he has so bovington is back on the pitch
10:34what a kick bovington has got top ball in his right ear on his right ear that's where the cut
10:41must be with
10:43here i think even bobby moore after that one
10:50reno that was a good effort by peter braver
10:58that's attacking so slowly but that was a good effort and as usual
11:03first right off the spot then of the slightest chance
11:11referee coming in to a duty gate
11:19oh it's up for bates
11:23picked only by this lively ground
11:40Charles the referee looking again at his watch
