From a different era, but Man United and the Red Army were back from 2nd Division oblivion and boy did they let everybody know about it.

Wonderful MOTD commentary from Barry Davis too. He must have been a fan as well.

Just listen to the atmosphere created by the Red Army and the wild goal celebrations.

Quality match! Must have been amazing in those crowds... The defending for that offside goal though

it was a Rugby League 'Up and Under'.

Arsenal 2-6 United

First United game I ever went to and what a result. Back then Arsenal were harder to beat than Liverpool of today. And Sharpey destroyed them. Great little kit too.

This one is better quality

I was going to post the same as the OP so I can’t play

Watching the OPs game highlights to me how strong the league was back then, quality all over the pitch.

If I remember rightly that Derby team were one of the best of that time. Their defence was pretty much the England defence.

We should never have sacked the Doc. That side would have gone on to win the title under him IMO.

--------------------------------------------------------Never watched it, don't remember it.

A match we didn't win. Was the day after my 21st birthday. Was really ill and only rose out of my bed about 15 minutes before kick off.

If anyone has a lot of time to kill then this is a good watch:

Even better than O’Sheabio’s goal were Ronny’s celebration after his first and Campbell mincing out of the challenge with Scholes that led to Giggs’s goal

Fun fact about that match ..

I once viewed a flat in that complex - that whole old stadium is flats and the pitch is one huge garden - the clock on the top of the stands is still there. I stood in what I assumed was the exact spot O’Shea scored that chip on the pitch and the letting agent wondered just what I was doing as I kicked an imaginary ball.

yea, was a funny old game... The O'Shea shock followed by dashing around the pitch with a big grin on his face will never leave my memory though

Absolutely. No doubt.

Doc did what Ole is now doing.

Got rid of all the old guard who were individually and collectively under performing and creating factions in the dressing room and replaced them with a team of talented kids basically, who all wanted to play together for the club and badge.

Shame he couldn't keep it in his pants.

Was at the game, we had three/four worldies at the time.
Hughes, Rush, Ratcliffe and Southall.
