VP. Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Fans of England could you be so kind and post up some video's (youtube) that include great commentary from over the years as I'm making something and wish to use the audio. Already have a couple, Beckham v Greece, Platt v Belgium, Hurst's 3rd, Heskey/Englands 5th v Germany but any others would be great and doesn't have to be goals just moments we all remember. Tried to get the audio from Brian Moore/ITV for Gazza's goal against Scotland but it wouldn't convert for reasons I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 (edited) The most recognisable commentary from the Gascoigne Euro 96 goal… “Oh brilliant, oh yes!” was Motson not Brian Moore. Although I’m struggling to find a decent clip that doesn’t have music pumping underneath it. Edited June 11 by Rob1981 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Here some more vintage Motson from WC2002, back when he was obsessed with breakfasts all through the tournament. “Hold the cups and glasses back home… you can smash them now, Beckham has scored for England!” 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 here’s Brian Moore bringing you the Michael Owen goal in 1998, this is definitely the original ITV commentary from the live broadcast.

I've been feeling way more confident in the run up than I ever have before, really thinking this is our year - but our defence is now looking pretty worrying. Good thing with the stupid format is that we can struggle our way through the group and players will have returned/played themselves into form for the knockouts.

Rob1981 Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 You've done your playlist now @VP. but I can't believe I forgot this Jonathan Pearce commentary from 1997: The era when away games used to be auctioned off individually by the host country and could end up on different channels. Channel 5 splashed the cash to get this qualifier in Poland not long after they had launched... Pearce gets a sniff of a TV gig when I think he was mainly only doing radio at the time. Goes at it like a man possessed. Worth listening to it all, especially his "READY! STEADY! TEDDY!" on the second goal. But the bit when England get the penalty on around 2:00 is also the stuff of legend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, I can still edit it in, probably over the start to Carnival De Paris as that's from the 98 WC which the match was a qualifier for. Would use Shearer's goal as do like the commentary for that which I remember well now I've seen it again. Would like a couple of newer ones with the current players but I guess as (in my opinion) the quality of commentators has dropped so much nothing springs to mind.

RTHerringbone Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I fully expect to drop points to Serbia, based on nothing other than a terrible memory, I feel like we often open tournaments poorly and even though Serbia's recent results have been poor apart from the win against Sweden, I like to think we'll start with a trademark whimper.

skybluedave Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) When did we draw with Russia opening game? 2016? That annoyed me a lot at the time as I thought we played pretty well in that game. Like not amazing but for an opening game it was a solid performance. We controlled game, created the better chances but then grabbed a deserved relatively late when Dier scored a freekick and even then we were ok in seeing the game out until last minute when one switch off left a giant Russian unmarked for looping slow mo header. And then we never looked good at all for rest of that tournament. Was like that goal shattered any confidence Edited June 13 by skybluedave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
