The Slade - 12.Give Us A Goal

[A5HLEYHALLOW51]

I can't belive Noddy Holder did the 1978 World Cup song for England.

[kentokie]

fucking goood, bootboys athem!

[Pies4500]

Great single ,from one of of the best live bands of all time .

[cherios420]

WHAT ABOUT SLADE !!!!!!!

[ajsmith311]

Such an underrated single - pointing at Slade's own fanbase in particular - I'm sure almost all were football fans. Fun lyrics, stomping riff, perfectly fitting lyrics, should have been at least a moderate hit. Slade even gave one of their most fun music video performances.

[TheShotgunslade]

@ajsmith311 Think you make a valid point there. Most reviewers seem to be totally unaware that we were mostly working class kids! Slade appealed to me as a frustrated musician, as I believed it was possible to be successful and be just an ordinary joe working in a factory for bottle tops! I only realized many many years later that there existed a two tier system and Im afraid Slades black country roots did appear to stand against them. Just look at who Bowie hung out with in comparison. sad

[TheShotgunslade]

The greatest, loudest, fun lovin, rebel rousing, boot stomping, show stopping, hellraising rock band EVER. D ya hear me out there? You cannot play or sing in a band such as this in anything over middle age hence there shall never be a reunion. What Dave does today is not even slightly comparable to what Slade were back then. It was purely music played for the young and not for all the boring old farts that that surrounded them. Bless em and each and every fan everywhere. Cheers lads.

[richjack]

@TheShotgunslade yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superslade7]

Brilliant fun. This band could do no wrong.

[GlamZinoPL]

Aż się chce zagrać w piłkę ;-)

[grumpy1069]

Bring back the Slade...this type of music is just not around these days????

[yogiman78]

@grumpy1069 i don't care if this gets flagged as spam, but you might wanna give GIUDA from italy a listen. careful though, there's two bands of that name, the one i'm talking about are from rome.

[MannaMachine69]

Even Slade's 'weaker' songs were fucking amazing, if you get what I mean. What a band!

[KOSMICKEN09]

KICKASS song!

[bourntwyn]

taken at brighton...but noddy has a blue & white scarf on...thats good enough to be a gas head for me...NODDY IS A GAS HEAD! UTG...brfc

revamp for world cup...come on engerland...

[proslade]

@bourntwyn Hmmm no reason to get uptight about the best pop/rock singer off all time. What do you care about wearing that scarf for one occasion, for me it is all about the music and Slade are my favorite forever!

[steve01274]

BRADFORD CITY. BCFC OK !

[DerbyCo10]

Happy memories at the Goldstone Ground. It was very cold, I actually played in the football scenes it was filmed at Waterhall in a blizzard, the Slade boys and I shared hot chocolate together to keep warm. Happy days !!!!!

[ACDCFan15Swe]

Awesome story, must have been great to meet them

[DerbyCo10]

It was, the guys turned up in a stretch Rolls-Royce. The Slade boys were really awesome. Each shoot would only last no more than 10 secs because the camera would get covered in snow in the blizzard conditions. Plus it was too cold to stand around so we would huddle around a hot stove sharing hot chocolate to keep warm.

I managed to get the guys to sign a programme on the day of the match at the Goldstone Ground.....

thanks for your interest

[ACDCFan15Swe]

No problem, always nice to hear about your idols! =)

[harty2912]

Great stuff this: Brighon and Hove Albion North stand; best band ever Slade most passionate supporters Fernabache and Burnley

[yackawolves]

what ground they at ?-i know-but they were wolves n baggies fans !!

[BarryMcGiffen]

This was shot at Brighton football ground.

[MacTireMhaighEo]

@yackawolves I thought Slade were all Wolves (I notice a Gold and Black scarf there). My dad used to see Slade at the molineux in the early 80's.

[harty2912]

Come on Burnley!!!!!!!!!!

Lets smash the cynics, if you want to see goals visit TURF MOOR

[Sweet70sBest]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!

[harty2912]

I'm from Burnley and that's the old Goldstone Ground north stand, Which is actually in Hove. I remember queing to get in and this massive roar went up , when I got in Burnley were 1 up.

[1Brian94Connolly5]

Better than those football songs from today...

IT SIMPLY ROCKS!!!

[Keerv950101]

[progolfer619]

So, what team does Noddy support?

[zamim619]

[N4smiley]

[garylq]

Excellent, I was there too, what memories!

[CleckheatonSeagull]

Me too! Happy days!

[gunsanddrugs]

man.. real fitba, before seats and women came along haha!!! those were the days...

[sussexstrickers]

I was there. At The Goldstone Ground in The South Stand. Couldn't remember the score or who the opposition were but it was a very cold day in Jan or Feb 78. Those were the days.

[madworld456]

Amen Brother

[funkybear3]

its the song in the fifa 09 advert!

[fatpizzaman]

I don't know why this song wasn't a hit, especially cos the Brits love football orientated songs. It should definitely be re-recorded by a footy team or the England World Cup next year.

[Kinlochbervie50]

of course that's assuming you manage to qualify!

:p

[Kinlochbervie50]

sorry, that's assuming england manage to qualify!

:p

[RicardoAstley]

lol way to cover up you immigrant

[gearsgarvin]

Great song that I've known for years but never seen this vid.

[exordes]

I have this track on my old vinyl album "Slade Smashes!" that was originally released in 1980.

Noddy and the Boys Make a Big Noize...

[mufasawright2]

Sounds a bit similar to dogs of vengance from the whatever happened to slade album. Both great songs

[filcom101]

[shakermaker1974]

Great Song.This song has just been used to advertise the new FIFA 09 game.The ad is one of the longest I've ever seen, and includes Wayne Rooney.Good 'ole Slade!!

[pyton1234]

big thanks for this

[mcuiabano]

Whats team is that, is from England or Scotland? I'm Brazilian, I love football and Slade too!! Give me informations about this video!! Thanks!

[rumpraisin]

England. Hove V Burnley.

[mcuiabano]

Merci, mon amis. J'ai vu que vous êtes français,alors, je n'est peux pas faire de bêtises avec vous (3x0, 1x0, etc.). Tchau!

[rumpraisin]

I'm not French, I'm an immigrant.What do you mean by 3x0, 1x0 etc?

[mcuiabano]

Ok, I'm talking about the last results between Brazil and France, that's it. Where are you from?

[rumpraisin]

UK.That's where Ronald Biggs, who live(s,d?) is from.

[mcuiabano]

Where Ronald Biggs RIP.

[rumpraisin]

Ronald Biggs rot in puss.

[goraslade]

Futbol&Slade a marvelous combination.1978 not was the best year fot Slade,but this song is incredible. Thanks guys for made the best music we can heard.

[Disturbedaholic]

must have been friggen cold that day

[bolshevik1917]

Funny how scoreless 1970s soccer seems compared to today, that a well known rock band should have to write a song begging for a score line. Awesome. The (soccer) balls back then look like cement bags.

[SanJoseEarthquakes74]

bolshevik1917, while I agree 100% with your politics, you ain't got a clue about real football, have ya?

[rumpraisin]

What is real football?

[SanJoseEarthquakes74]

Fucking amazing!

[Perranporth]

Great, great song!

[eddislade]

it´z alright ....buy me ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[CleckheatonSeagull]

In was there at the Goldstone in 1978- we were playing Burnley! Can't remeber the score!!!

[vivelavidarocka]

Somehow these guys were huge, I mean bigger than Elvis, in the Pacific coast of SouthAmerica (Colombia Peru Ecuador) Their songs used to be in the "best song of the year"lists, Their albums were being manufactured in those countries. So they didn't make it here in North America, but there is a consolation...

[ANWL]

Ha, ha, they were all Wolves fans, but they're wearing different colours there, Don Powell is wearing a Leeds scarf.

[carl682]

Truly ne of the most underated bands in British rock history.

Just watched Flame for about the 100th time.

[Bigmaroon2008]

dave hill had so many hair cuts ^^

we all know he was the ladies guy of slade even though he looked funkey.

[billymog]

I was at the game when they made this video, like the guy said below it was at the Goldstone ground in Hove, now sadly a retail park. They were trying to get everyone involed, but it was so cold. Happy days memories of the north stand and a great team.

[zeets93]

great band, i'll never understand why they didn't make it big over here in north america. i used to get my relatives from scotland a list of slade albums to bring me when they came over.......whatever happened to.....my all time favourite

[fatpizzaman]

I have no idea why. Slade were a grat band with a terrific sense of humour and catchy songs.

[Disturbedaholic]

looks cold

[Disturbedaholic]

the drummer lost his memory temporerily didnt he due to an accident??

[ANWL]

Yes and fair play to Dave Hill instead of replacing him, he still has Don Powell drumming with Slade. Saw them in August this year, and they were great. Don needs start up drum beat sheets as he often forgets how to start the drum intro for a song. he also has a drum tech beside him on stage.

[hornybri]

great vid i was there at the goldstone ground in hove watching this being made in oct 77 just before our game with burnley we won 2.1 and met sladfe and got their autographs afterwards. a day i wont forget

[grumpy1069]

Noddy for ever...another classic..give us another #@#$@#goal

[strummer08]

absolute class noddy holder at his very best 1978 classic give us a goal fuckin ace

[grumpy1069]

What happened to Dave Hill's Hair??

[MOTOPAC]

He grew back what he could of it.

[mfrajese]

Aren´t we all in the mood for a goal??
