It’s 28 years to the day since Dwight Yorke moved to Manchester Utd for £12.6m. And as Yorke left Villa Park, John Gregory wished him the best of luck…

34 years ago today, Saint &amp; Greavsie presented an England schoolboys international live from Wembley. And just before the match, the duo couldn’t resist having one last dig at Sky, for taking the brand new Premier League away from ITV…

It’s 27 years to the day since Dwight Yorke moved to Manchester Utd for £12.6m. And as Yorke left Villa Park, John Gregory wished him the best of luck…

Today marks 34 years since a nineteen-year-old Irish lad scored this belter from outside the box at Carrow Road. Six months earlier, he had cost Nottingham Forest just £47,000 from Cobh Ramblers. His name was Roy Keane. Looks a player, him.

It’s 35 years to the day since Sheffield United pulled off one of the best corner kick routines you’re ever likely to see against West Ham. I love it when a plan comes together…

Jan Molby vs Peter Shilton. No, this isn’t from the 1980s, it is in fact a Third Division clash between Swansea City and Leyton Orient in 1997. Here the 33 year old player/manager takes a glorious free-kick against the 47 year old keeper. Still got it.

On this day in 1998: Tony Adams is put through by Steve Bould and seals the title in style with one of the great Premier League moments. “That sums it all up!”

Today marks 33 years since of one of the worst tackles you’re ever likely to see, from Bury’s Lee Anderson on Andy Sinton in the Coca-Cola Cup. Referee’s decision - just a yellow. 👀

Today marks 36 years since an injury to Steve Ogrizovic meant that David Speedie went in goal for Coventry at The Den. And like every great goalkeeper, Speedie instinctively knew when a shot was going wide…

On this day in 1991: Bramall Lane, John Pemberton, and an acrobatic throw-in for the ages…

33 years ago today, Saint &amp; Greavsie presented an England schoolboys international live from Wembley. And just before the match, the duo couldn’t resist having one last dig at Sky, for taking the brand new Premier League away from ITV…

It’s 33 years to the day since this quite incredible Gary Pallister tackle on Careca in the US Cup. Bobby Moore eat your heart out.

On this day in 1994: Big Ron co-commentated on the World Cup final in California for ITV, whilst wearing a J.R. Ewing hat, as his Aston Villa team were in pre-season training back home. Sensational stuff.

Today marks 36 years since the City Ground witnessed one of the greatest stanchion goals of all time, from Brian Laws. Not a net bulge in sight.

Saint &amp; Greavsie blooper from this week in 1991, as Jimmy Greaves loses his hat mid-take in New York. This is why we loved the show. Laughter all the way. ❤️

From this day in 1986: Don’t ever ask Bobby Robson why he prefers Terry Fenwick to Alvin Martin…

On Teddy Sheringham’s birthday, a reminder of how gutted he was when Scotland were eliminated from Euro ‘96…

On this day in 1998: Tony Adams is put through by Steve Bould and seals the title in style with one of the great Premier League moments. “That sums it all up!”

It’s 37 years to the day since this reckless Paul Gascoigne tackle on Paul Lake at Maine Road. Understandably, the Manchester City man is fuming with the challenge. But Gazza just responds with a classic playground insult…

On this day in 1997, Roy Keane made this challenge on Gustavo Poyet during his Chelsea debut in the Charity Shield. Welcome to England.

Today marks 25 years since Brian Moore passed away. This was ITV’s moving tribute to him shortly after his death. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest football commentators/presenters we’ve ever had. A true gentleman of the game. ❤️

Another England exit. Another BBC montage. Bloody hell.

23 years ago today: Super-sub Darius Vassell opens the scoring against Turkey at the Stadium Of Light, after 75 mins of a feisty affair. Cue pandemonium in the stands…

David Batty talking after missing the vital penalty in England’s defeat to Argentina at France ‘98 is one of the most impressive post match interviews you’ll ever see. No hiding. No excuses. No self pity. If anyone could deal with that situation, it was Batty.

36 years ago today, Derby County kicked off their doomed 1990/91 season, which resulted in relegation from the First Division. Unfortunately, it was also a campaign to forget for their 41-year-old goalkeeper, Peter Shilton…

Nothing will ever beat the faces of the England players when Nigel Kennedy performed for them at Italia ‘90…

On the 29th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, a reminder of an emotionally charged Wembley before England’s match with Moldova ten days later. Here the crowd listen to ‘Candle In The Wind’ and impeccably observe the minute silence. Different times…

It’s 20 years today since England were beating France 1-0 going into stoppage time, but still lost 2-1. Here are both of Zinedine Zidane’s goals from that night, in real time. One of the most extraordinary endings to a match ever seen at a European Championship.

Today marks 22 years since Des Lynam’s last moments as a football presenter, at the final of Euro 2004. Here he’s professional until the end, but has a glint of sadness in his eyes as time forces him to cut the broadcast short. The end of an era. ❤️

A reminder of the last time a World Cup finals draw took place in the USA in December 1993, when Robin Williams stole the show by pissing about on stage and repeatedly making fun of Sepp Blatter. FIFA hasn’t invited a comedy genius to help out since.

So sad to hear about the passing of Terry Yorath. Here’s a look back at the wonderful live interaction between daughter Gabby and father Terry during On The Ball in 1999. RIP Terry. ❤️

Steve McMahon vs Paul Gascoigne from 1990. Already on a yellow card, here the Liverpool midfielder somehow gets away with a blatant elbow on Gazza, before winking at a teammate. Some serious shithousery to start your day.

Kevin Keegan talking to John Stapleton in 1977, about his childhood in Doncaster…

It’s 35 years today since the battle of Selhurst Park, between landlords Crystal Palace and new tenants Wimbledon. Five goals, 3 red cards, reckless tackles, handballs and a fine performance from stand-in keeper John Salako. This is old school football.

Saint &amp; Greavsie clip from this week in 1989. Here, Ian St. John asks if a team from outside the then ‘Big 5’ can win the First Division title. But Jimmy Greaves replies with the one of the most honest answers you’ll ever hear from a pundit…

It’s 29 years to the day since England lost to Germany at Euro ‘96. And as Wembley emptied that night, the BBC beautifully used ‘Walkaway’ by Cast for their closer. This is possibly the greatest sad montage of all time. 💔

On this day in 1997, Roy Keane made this challenge on Gustavo Poyet during his Chelsea debut in the Charity Shield. Welcome to England.

One of Soccer AM’s greatest ever moments…
