Newcastle United v Liverpool (1901)

[lukenufc1]

@xBlackxOpsxIsxAwsum Newcastle won 1-0

[elvaelvirababe]

I feel blessed to have watched this. Great history here. Makes you think, eh? Watching this in my iTouch...lol

[alanheath]

There are many historical films on you tube but few have such excellent commentary with fascinating bits of information.

Something I found curious about the film is the curved edges of the six yard box.

I shall be looking at more of these films!

[alanheath]

I think Newcastle fielded the same squad last Saturday.

[toonmag50]

mint strides

[ashingtoon]

@TheSaniflo Well said mate as Del boy would say... what a plonker!!

[xBlackxOpsxIsxAwsum]

Who won?

[Hendrick564]

who was win?

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Outstanding bit of history. Are their any famous or record-setting players on either team who would recognize?

[allxtar]

this guys seem to play badly lmao

[switzerlicious]

The rounded corners of the 6 yard box should be brought back.

[kcoldkchill]

Everyone in this film is dead

[bobbyfreaky]

@kcoldkchill So?

[matheusm0]

the "people's" game? by now, which peoples' game?

[greenisland75]

These two teams from 1901 are just as bad at tackling as the current Wolves team.

I am so pleased that this was posted. My Great Grandad is Alex Raisbeck, I have seen many photos and read many articles but it is amazing to actually see the man on screen. On behalf of myself and my family THANK YOU very much for posting!

@mkwoods77

That's fantastic mate, must be great for you to find this footage of your grandfather. I'm glad I've stumbled across this aswell, gonna keep it for when I get round to making NUFC related compilations.

[BobTheGamerUK]

Amazing bit of history right there, 94 years on and the greatest game of football the Premisership has witnessed took place in the same spot, fantastic stuff.

Much respect for the scouse, great lads and a great footballing city.

[bartez111]

@BobTheGamerUK err, this game was being played in Newcastle, not Liverpool.

[MoorLetoh]

R.S. McColl!!! LOL!!!!

[gmtx12]

What a great video. Shows some of the weird differences back then from today, such as the 6 yard semicircle, but more than anything it's the similarities that are so striking. A guy falling over injured, his team mates helping him out before his begrudgingly rises to his feet and limps off, giving the opposition dirty looks. People out to watch their local team play, just like they do today, 109 years on. Incredible

[greenisland75]

Players really knew how to tackle in those days! They get stuck in don't they. At 0.40 a player gets injured and the players help him back up.  The referee doesn't even move from his position. These days players dive around like Olympic Swimmers trying to con the referee.

[dan205]

It always surprises me how many people you can pack into a small stadium, my local team (that since sadly went bust) could have fit a theoretical 9000 people despite the gates being about 1000 and the place looking packed at 5444 during the 2007 FA Cup.

This is such a great clip, it's excellent to have such early video footage of the sport and not only that it's of very good quality considering it's age.

Great stuff.

[tinkles30]

Is this actually real footage? I am a film historian and I've never seen 110 year old film look this pretty. In fact, there hasn't been ANY sports footage that's looked this pretty prior to about 1990.

[giles422]

great

[Jackaaum]

I was there

Lots of good moments and a hot beer, that's a good live ;)

[TrancetasticWilza]

I remember the Cornish pasties were rather nice at half time :)

[AmrVamp]

OOOH , how fascinating.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

I probably shouldn't go to Europe; I'd get lost there, I like old things too much.

[themusicchap]

That's what I call football. No diving, no daft haircuts and only a pig skin ball.

Anyone know who won? It sounds like Newcastle did.

[plevyman]

Newcastle won 1-0. Apparently they did the double over Liverpool, winning 1-0 away (at Anfield?) four months later. Probably the last time that happened...

[Moss235]

@plevyman

LOL correction 93/94 3-0 at St James park and 2-0 at Anfield, the St James Park match you may remember was where Bruce Grobbelaar was accused of match fixing

[clivetemple]

It looks like the 6 yard 'box' is a semi circle.

[NewcastleTTM]

caban its football mate not soccer

[caban70]

Oops, I made a mistake. It's soccer they are playing not football.

[caban70]

Wow! No pads for protection of any kind. Football was played dangerously then.

[zoylex]

Great Recording!Thank you for posting!!

[tmolet]

Superb quality video. Thanks for posting.

[ashingtoon]

Excellent bit of history!! My grandad says he was at the match and some scouse theif stole his penny farthing at the gallowgate end!! Some things never change.

[daveibukun]

@ashingtoon he he he.

[BlinkandDie]

@ashingtoon What a dick you are, must be dumb to assume that all scousers are thieves, stereotyping is for little minds. Liverpool has one of the lowest crime rates for theft in the UK... so get your facts right dickwad.

[ashingtoon]

@BlinkandDie Do what your name suggest you little scummer, it was a joke you phleb. Go and get a sense of humour you small knobbed theiving twat. Everybody knows scousers are scum.

[BlinkandDie]

@ashingtoon Funny how Newcasle, Manchester, Birmingham and London all have a higher rate of crime than Liverpool. Also, Liverpool are Englands most successful club, not bad for 'scum' ay.

[ashingtoon]

@BlinkandDie check upmystreet I think you'll find your'e talking shit as per usual scummer. Gis a job lad.

[MishaAtreides]

@ashingtoon Yeah well, he took my seat!

[LUIS909RIDER]

@ashingtoon its england their is no pennies in england ??

[ashingtoon]

@LUIS909RIDER The penny was part of our countries currency... research uk currency!!!!! A penny farthing was a bike with a large wheel at the front and a small wheel at the rear... again research it!

[kizlfc09]

the is only one stand, wow stadiums were tiny back then and still 1800 people managed to see it

[Moodynaji]

18,000

[dizzzygirl80]

@kizlfc09 18.000!

[asherb89]

@kizlfc09 18000 not 1800

[bobbyfreaky]

@kizlfc09 18,000

[mazzalfc]
