1974 FA Cup Final Wembley Stadium Captains Bobby Moncur & Emlyn Hughes Keep An Eye On The Coin Toss

Scott McTominay a surprise omission from #SPOTY short-list? Won Scudetto, voted Serie A Player of the Year, nominated for Ballon d’Or, helped Scotland qualify for World Cup, scored vital/spectacular goal against Denmark that’s surely a Puskas Awards contender. Amazing year 👏

Johann Cruyff pictured in Tirana 🇦🇱 prior to #Ajax's 1st Rnd, 1st Leg European Cup tie versus 17 Nendori at Stadiumi Qemal Stafa during the 1970/71 season. #Cruyff was injured on a bicycle ride around the Albanian capital and withdrawn from the subsequent 2-2 draw.

LWT The Big Match September 1970 This Is Brilliant! Something you wouldn’t see on today’s football shows. Two legends of the game Malcolm Allison and Alan Mullery hammer each other with personal insults with Jimmy Hill in the middle.

An special moment, 20 years ago today! Jose Mourinho presents Pele with the lifetime achievement award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Jose Mourinho: “I miss Maradona a lot. We had an incredible relationship. For example, after this victory against his Napoli, I thought of him a lot, because I knew he would insult me in his way of insulting.”

#JohanCruyff was chosen #FIFA Best Player of #WorldCup74 (Golden Ball) and later also won the 1974 #BallondOr. Here is a minute of some of his magical moments. #Holland74 #Holland #Oranje #worldcup #mundial [music: Bensound.com] [thanks: @footywages]

#OTD 1975: Lying snow & icy Roker conditions acted as leveller as table-topping #SAFC took on lowly Oxford Utd. Ian Porterfield sinks to knees in relief at shooting last-minute winner, while Vic Halom & Dick Malone synchronise with scorer. A late debut run-out by sub Gary Rowell.

I know this won’t be the main story in Scottish football tonight. But Stephen Robinson, St Mirren manager, is beyond dispute the most under-rated manager in Scottish football. He has worked wonders at St Mirren, and now has a supreme cup triumph. A brilliant day for the Buddies.

Throwback to José Mourinho pranking his young assistant, André Villas-Boas, during an interview in 2005. Now, Mourinho is Benfica's coach and Villas-Boas is... Porto's president. 🤣

Golden Days Happy memories of watching #GaryRowell scoring goals at Roker Park in 1982. #SAFC #Sunderland
