Great music! As for the video, well it's good to see that they didn't spend too much of the Licence fee on it.
Nice to see some glimpses of those great players of the past. MoTD would be far more interesting if they filled the whole show with them rather than the overpaid primadonnas that populate the Premiership.
I absolutely LOVE this intro. I'm not interested in how good or bad the Graphics are, it's the spirit of the whole thing that matters. I have a nostalgic sigh every time I see it. I understand the point about Giggs, but it was bound to dissapoint some people. For instance Teddy Sheringham?
This is so disrespectful to the old players that played in Division 1 comparing Cantona to George Best Best is a lot better and wheres Bobby Charlton!
@JoinTheCenation every sports programme in Britain fucks bums of Liverpool, they do nothing about talk how great you and your fans are and remind everyone about Istanbul in every fucking game despite the fact it happened 5 FUCKING YEARS ago, ITV might as well rename themselves the Liverpool Appreciation Channel because they always and I mean always chat about how great your team is and how Steven Gerrard is best player ever, MOTD is no different as shown here
@doitanywayz You can do that with 100 times the budget. Although then it'd just be an 80 foot Rooney and Drogba stomping on the Football League's teams. That's Sky football.
@jawapowa How come David Beckam is in this. He plays Soccer in the Major Soccer League. How come Chelsea played Portsmouth in the Premier league FA CUP Final in May this year. Shouldnt the play of final be between Chelsea and Manchester?? I can never work out how you guys play soccer over there.
All players featured in the intro have played in the English top league. I have just checked it. Also, they are not actors, it is previous footage with current footage enhanced over it.
@SuperARandall David Beckham used to play for Man Utd, that's why he's in it. There's no such thing as the Premier League FA Cup Final; there's the Barclays Premier LEAGUE and the FA Cup. Chelsea won the league last season, and also won the FA Cup which is a knockout tournament.
@SuperARandall Yeah we know these are players, we know them. Old and New. Its all just editing, cutting out the players and putting them in a different setting.
@mikemetaled im not sure what your point is ,as I have never mentioned sky sports.match of the day is a programme that shows the highlights of all the premiere games,Bobby Moore and George Best etc played in the old division 1,
not the premire league..i just thought they would stick to premiere players,
@jawapowa Match of the Day is a programme that shows the highlights of all TOP FLIGHT and FA CUP matches. And has done exactly that for 50 years. Why on earth would it only show players from the prem era? MOTD has no loyalty or direct affiliation with the PL, only the rights to show top flight football. Only Sky seem insistant on erasing history, MOTD quite rightly pays homage to it's past.
@mancity1000 looks fake? it is fake.. considering how they used old video with newer crisp quality videos, it's bound to like slightly off. I think this is the most imagintive and smartly done intros for any sports programme ever. Some people are never satisfied.
@mancity1000 i think it is mean't to have the fake editing of the ball so that the ball looks the same thoughout and is also the match of the day ball too.
Tbh in my opinion its the best intro yet
