English Leagues the 70s: Nottingham Forest Southampton League Cup 1978 1979


Final
Saturday March 17, 1979
Wembley Stadium,
London


Nottingham Forest will line up against Grasshoppers in the second leg of their European Cup quarter-final in Zurich on Wednesday with the comforting knowledge that they have regained the elusive touch of true champions. Forest left Wembley after beating Southampton 5-2. with the League Cup securely in Iheir grasp for the second season succession, after a second-half performance of the highest quality had swept away the doubts and inhibitions accumulated during the long, cold, frustrating winter. When searching for the hero of Forest's victory, look no further than their manager, Brian Clough, whose few well-chosen words during the interval transformed a witless, dissident team, seemingly tottering towards defeat, into aggressive, conquering heroes. The star who caught the eye on the field was young Garry Birtles, a £5,000 bargain from neighbouring Long Eaton, who is in his first season of senior football. He scored two goals and had two disallowed for offside, one of them a borderline decision.

Birtles pounced on an error by Ihe hesitant Nicholl in the 50th minute to equalize Peach's 17th minute goal and, in effect, provide the base for Forest's victory. The goal inspired Gemmill and McGovern lo take command in midfield fron the previously dominating Ball. Holmes and Williams, and produce some of the most devastating attacking soccer seen al Wembley for years. Southampton's defence, who had conceded only two goals in their last eight games, was torn apart . They were outrageously fortunate to survive until the 78th minute. but then Birtles shook off a challenge by Nicholl and planted the newly styled red and white ball firmly past the diving Gennoe. Woodcock, who had so ably supported Birlles, added a third in the 82nd minute. Holmes volleyed home a defiant 15-yarder just before the end, but Southampton never really looked like saving Ihe game.

Notts Forest: P.Shilton, C.Barrett, F.Clark, J.McGovern, L.Lloyd, D.Needham, M.O'Neill, A.Gemmill, G.Birtles, T.Woodcock, J.Robertson, unused sub: I.Bowyer.
Southampton: T.Gennoe, I.Golac, D.Peach, S.Williams, C.Nicholl, M.Waldron, A.Ball, P.Boyer, A.Hayes (T.Sealy 83), N.Holmes, T.Curran.

Testimonial Matt Letissier Southampton England XI

13 May 2002
St Mary Stadium, 
Southampton
Referee: Mark Le Tissier
Attendance: 31,904


 Matt Letissier  aura droit à un émouvant jubilé en Mai 2002, opposant Southampton à une équipe nationale anglaise remixée (Alan Shearer, John Barnes, Chris Waddle ou encore Ian Wright). Il disputera une mi-temps pour chaque équipe, et le match se soldera sur un 9-9 avec notamment 4 buts de son fils de 10 ans, Mitchell, pour l'Angleterre, le tout dans un St Mary Stadium, toujours plein à craquer, ému et fervent qui rendra en fin de rencontre un hommage appuyé au désormais célèbre numéro 7, qui s'est d'ailleurs permis de ressortir quelques "skills" dont lui seul à le secret durant la rencontre.

English Leagues the 70s: Southampton Manchester United Division One 1971 1972

 Round 19
15 January 1972
The Dell Stadium,
Southampton

 Stiles heading for Middlesbrough and Crerand joined the back-room staff of United in the summer of 1971, but there was no prospect of a fresh generation coming. The once-fabled youth programme was no longer producing hungry and talented teenagers desperate to play in the first team. United made no significant signings, either. An air of lassitude hung about Old Trafford. The shining jewel in the side had long been George Best. With 18 goals he finished as the club's top scorer in 1970/71, just as he had in the three seasons previously, but his rackety lifestyle was beginning to catch up with him. During that season he had more run-ins with Busby and in January he was suspended for two weeks for missing training repeatedly. He was also fined £250 by the FA for turning up over an hour late at another disciplinary hearing. Best, finally, was growing weary of carrying the team largely on his own shoulders and he was less and less inclined to hide his dissatisfaction. A fiercely proud man, he grew increasingly frustrated to see his team, which had once been the greatest in Europe, drift into mediocrity.

But Busby had more than Best to worry about. Once again he faced the task of finding and appointing his own successor and, not for the first time he took upon himself the task of shaping the club's future. Top of his list for the United manager's job was fock Stein, who as Celtic boss had beaten him to the European Cup by a year. Busby used the ex-Celt, Pat Crerand, as his emissary to Stein, and for a while it appeared that United had their man. Stein met Busby, and the pair agreed a deal - but Stein had second thoughts and pulled out. Busby was bitter at what he perceived as a betrayal. He muttered that Stein had expressed interest in the United job merely as a bargaining tool to jack up his salary with Celtic. But that does not ring true with Stein's usual, highly principled way of conducting business. He was no less a stickler than Busby himself when it came to acting with honour and bringing dignity to the often-murky trade of football club management. It is more likely that Stein had a presentiment that he would never truly be manager of Manchester United while Busby remained at the club in an official capacity.

Chelsea's thoughtful manager, Dave Sexton, was also highly regarded by Busby. But Sexton appeared unwilling to move north. Busby finally found somebody prepared to take on the most difficult job in football. A little further down Busby's list of names was the former West Ham wing-half Frank O'Farrell who had impressed many observers by winning the Second Division Championship with Leicester City. He knew how gigantic his task was at Old Trafford, but he had the ambition to take it on and he accepted the offer. O'Farrell arrived at Old Trafford well aware of how much he had to do. The job of rebuilding the team would take years rather than weeks or months, the dressing room was populated by disgruntled old pros who had seen and done it all, and in addition there were the increasingly zany antics of Best to cope with. In short. United were doing a good impression of a football club that refused to be managed and, to make matters worse for O'Farrell, the board showed no sign that they were prepared to be patient in allowing the new man time to turn the ship around. Despite all that, O'Farrell began the job as he ended it - fired with enthusiasm - as the old football joke goes. On his first day in charge he said, 'Manchester United has rubbed off on me. I feel its glamour already. I feel, too, a great need to help the club back to its famed and feared reputation.' And for a while it looked like the team might live up to his brave words. United flew out of the blocks for the start of the 1971/72 season and O'Farrell seemed to have worked a miracle as his rejuvenated team raced to the top of the table. By the New Year they were five points clear of the field and odds-on to pick up their first Championship since 1967. Alas, the honeymoon ended in bitter recrimination as United went 11 matches without a win going into the spring, at one point enduring a spree of seven straight defeats. At least O'Farrell reacted decisively, lashing out £200,000 to bring in the Forest winger Ian Storey-Moore and £i 25,000 on centre-half Martin Buchan from Aberdeen. The new signings helped to halt the slide as United finished the 1971/72 season in eighth place, for the third year on the trot. United's league form might have been inconsistent, but at least it was consistently inconsistent.

English Leagues the 80s: Southampton Milwall Division One 1988 1989 Both Legs

 After a slow start Sheringham and Cascarino formed a lethal partnership that won Millwall the Division Two Championship and brought Millwall First Division football for the first time in their history. After a dip in form, Teddy had become, for a short while, the target of the Millwall Boo Boys, his name being booed when the team line up was announced but he turned it around to pip Cascarino for top scorer with 24 to 23 goals. Teddy was then called up into The England B squad and won a cap alongside teammate Alan McLeary v Switzerland in Lausanne in May 1988.  In his Autobiography, Teddy talks how his game started develop. "I probably started to become the player I am today at quite a young age. For Instance, in our successful days at Millwall, the guys used to play long balls to me or Tony Cascarino - We both had the ability to win the ball in the air. The bigger of the centre halves used to pick up Cas and the smaller one used to pick me up. It was a pretty direct route, but even then, I used to like to come off my marker by 10 or 15 yards, link thinks up and go on from there. It was natural for me to do that; certainly no manager ever told me to play that way. They didn't tell not to either, which is just as well seeing how my career and my role in various teams developed."  
"It was a terrific team for the level we were playing at. Tony played alongside me, we had some quality on the left wing in O'Callaghan and Lawrence was an experienced hand coming in on the right flank. We also had Terry Hurlock and Les Briley in the middle - perfect performers for our style of football. Steve Wood and Alan McLeary were an effective pairing at centre back, two clever, thinking players who were great readers situations. They were never eye-catching, but they did a fine job for us. Right back Keith Stevens was very solid - nobody used to get past him while Nicky Coleman at left back, who had come through the youth ranks with me, was a highly competent player. Brian Horne in goal completed a team that was perfectly balanced for the job it was employed to do." "I think the moment we finally convinced ourselves that promotion was just round the corner was on a cold Tuesday night at Elland Road at the beginning of April. We knew we had to win and it was a daunting prospect. Leeds were a First Division club which had come down and we were a little team that dragged ourselves up from the lower reaches of the Second Division. We beat them 2-1 and there was an amazing feeling in the dressing room after the game. We'd had to defend like fury, but we had all stuck together with a feeling of common purpose, the sort of feeling that comes only from playing a lot with the same group of people and wanting to do it for each other."
