There used to be a programme that did tbis in the 1980s and you would hope your favourite moment would come up - but it rarely did.


So now with youtube we can see again pretty much any sporting moment. What is yours? Post it here.


I'll start:

Archie Gemmell's 1978 world cup goal against Holland

Short Version



Match Highlights...(Souness, Dalglish, etc)

1978 Scotland Holland brief highlights

i hope that you don't think that i'm picking on you (having had some differences of opinion elsewhere) but i don't think that was the olympic final. i think that this was - 9.79:

Yes Jah - Great boxer, great entertainer and a better poet than Cantona.


I always remember the line from Harry Carpenter: "I can't believe it, he's won the title back at 33!"


Who did he lose the title to 3 times? Frazier was one I think?

I was at the fight, well live at the cinema. It was Harry Carpenter and Ali was 32. He was stripped of the title for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War in 1967 when he was in his prime and untouchable. He never lost the title to Frazier. He beat him twice and lost in the first fight which was to try and regain his title after his ban. Lost his title to Leon Spinks and Ken Norton after susbseqeuntly having his jaw broken in the first round but beat them both to regain his titles.

I've obviously only seen it all by replays, but have watched a lot of Ali, and Frazier, and personally I prefer Frazier. Not saying he was better than Ali, but I found him more exciting to be honest.


Ali also showed the flaw in his character by the way he spoke about Frazier, calling him the white mans hope and all that bollix, especially considering that Frazier helped Ali get his license back!


The 3rd fight was a draw in my eyes, in that Ali has stated that he'd asked for his gloves to be cut off after the 14th, which would have made Frazier winner (Frazier was begging his trainer to let him fight on, but it was stopped because he was basically blind).


Ali was funnier though.


Don't want to dis the great sportsman that Ali was, but as a man, he acted like a bit of a cock at times.

It was all part of the hype to sell tickets and put fear in his opponents. I thought he did it in a very entertaining way but when other people do it these days they do look a bit of a cock.


NB: Frasier wouldn't have been able to lay a glove on him in '67. He was too fast. Three and a half years out of the ring is a very long time in boxing. Also, I thought Ali won the first fight in '71. He was robbed of that one.

Obviously stevenage coming from 2-0 down at half time to win 3-2 in the 89th at the first ever competitive final at the new wembley, the morning after huguenot's stag do and the morning my wife agreed to marry me was a sporting moment for myself, doubt it's on youtube though.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.

      The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
