sexpistol Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 A bit random, but does anybody have footage of this match. I know it was the main game on YTVs The Big Match. It was a 2-2 draw ( Wednesday were leading 2-0) and I believe it was Mirocovic’s debut. The return game was shown on MOTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I remember that game. I was only 7 and can remember feeling gutted giving away a 2-0 lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) My only memories of the game were leading 2-0 and also several Wednesday players surrounding the referee over a decision he made. I also remember watching it on the tv, in the days when it was almost a special occasion if your teams game was shown.

Uncle Mort AMB Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have feeling that the footage you're looking for was recorded over as a cost cutting measure by YTV. A lot of our games between 1976-78 have been lost, i was looking for some footage of Tommy Tynan scoring for us and managed to get 1 game V Preston through a Preston fan on youtube. http://carousel.royalwebhosting.net/itv/YTVfootball.html The link shows games covered and which are archived. 25/Oct Sheffield Wednesday 2 (McCulloch, Mirocovic) Orient 2 (Moores, Chedozie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they're kept in a vault with all the Leeds games covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I’m familiar with the website shown on the link. I wasn’t aware the matches were recorded over. I remember in 1983 and our FA cup 5th round game away at Cambridge was shown on Anglia TV but the goals never shown in the Yorkshire region. IIRC it was due to some contractual reason???

I believe Liam Palmer was at fault for both Orients goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was on another link for the YTV Archive also they had a fire and lost a lot of stock footage, at one time you could buy footage at a price sadly the archive has been moved and is now in The National Film & TV Archive who will put footage on disc for you but it ain't cheap. If i find it i will put it on here in the video section, if i remember rightly Mirocovic also hit the bar in that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate had look through some DVD's i made of old games nothing on them, but i did a bit of digging about on youtube and apparently the Cambridge game and Palace V Burnley were the only Cup ties not covered by both Match Of The Day or the Big Game. In 1983 YTV stopped doing their own highlights package and used Granada's Match Time production and Anglia used London Weekend's production on the 19th February 1983 because Match Of The Day had the Norwich V Ipswich Cup tie has they main game. The contractual reason you quoted could have been for the goals and not full highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve checked the regional football website for the Anglian TV region and on Feb 19th 1983 the Cambridge v Wednesday game was shown as the main game in that region. I can remember at the end of the game i was watching World of sport and they did the report at the end of the game and it showed the jubilant Wednesday fans going out of the ground. I’m not sure how true this is as I was at the semi final game later that season, but in the build up show (Saint and Greavsie?) i was told they showed the goals on that programme also??

Strange no other company could show the game,yes it was On The Ball back then for the Semi they also showed Bannister's run and volley at QPR in the same show. You must be the unluckiest bloke mate, i've found the World Of Sport for that day which had On The Ball on it and its been blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
