RIP Ronnie Radford

[A Load of Squit 5,161]

Football in the 70's perfectly encapsulated by the film in the BBC report, the dodgy pitch, people climbing trees to get a view, it was horrible and brilliant at the same time.

RIP Ronnie, he must've had a few good nights out from that goal.

The magic of the FA Cup.

And nobody remembers Ricky George's winner.

And Malcolm MacDonald was one of the underrated strikers of that time.

'Iconic' is a massively over-used word in football, but if any goal is iconic, it's that one. The pitch! The flying tackles! Perfect 70s kits on long-haired footballers! One of the greatest goals of all time encapsulating The Magic of the Cup™! The crowd invading the pitch! The snorkel parkas! 

Just perfection.

RIP, Ronnie

The height MacDonald gets for his goal............ yet he doesn't have to lean on anybody or have his arms spread into somebody's face etc etc

Remember McDonald getting 5 goals for England back in the 70s I think it was against Cyprus at Wembley! He was a brilliant centre forward I thought

I had the Radford goal in a flick book I got after saving tokens in a paper

So many people that think Radfords goal was the winner not the equaliser.

The state of that pitch but normal in the day.

Re; Malcom MacDonald. Remember seeing him make his debut for Newcastle against Liverpool. (3.2) Scored 3, got stretched off with a head injury, with crowd chanting’ Super Mac Super Mac’

Underrated by all except Malcolm MacDonald to be fair ... 😉
