00:04A cold, windy, blustery afternoon for West Bromwich Albion against Manchester United.
00:10And all the Albion fans, having seen their team slide down into the bottom of the first division,
00:15are hoping that they'll be able to get back on the goal trail and not give away so many goals.
00:19And that's why they brought in number four, Hausscholl, to try and tighten up this Albion defence.
00:29Nobby Stiles, one of the great men of Manchester United, a team which many people are already crowning as champions
00:35of the first division.
00:36Here's the Manchester side, a man to watch, of course, is Charlton, who will be playing in midfield,
00:41but bursting through when the chips are down to get those vital goals.
00:46Manchester United to kick off, Mr Gao from Swansea, the referee checking his watches,
00:51and Manchester United have got a very, very strong win behind them.
00:55Now they're up against an Albion team which has lost a lot of its confidence.
01:00They began the season well enough, but they've only won one game out of the last seven, lost the other
01:04six.
01:10Law, back to Charlton.
01:15The two teams met at Manchester the opening day of the season when Manchester won 5-3.
01:24Man 1-3.
01:24rains in 100 regions.
01:28Two counties in Vancouver Manchester.
01:28One matin in Czech land.
01:47They brakes on top of the season, but a big watch on the line.
01:51Actors, true lockdown no longer, could not happen.
01:51The last jump today.
01:54Round soft on top, the wind should be drying it out fairly rapidly.
02:05What a great player this fella best is.
02:12Now Hope.
02:16Five minutes gone, no score.
02:24Aston, Hurd, a goal!
02:39David Hurd, the scorer.
02:43And again this slack, Halbyn defense.
02:52Brown.
02:57Brown and Clark are two orthodox wingers for Halbyn.
03:05How shall number four.
03:15Fairfax, Fairfax to Fraser.
03:19And there's Astle, a great goal!
03:31Brilliantly headed by Jeff Astle.
03:40Good throw.
03:43Good throw.
03:44Charlton made ten yards to create that space.
03:47There's best darting forward.
03:50Ten minutes gone, one each.
03:58Aston.
03:59It's in play.
04:10Traaron.
04:13Charlton.
04:14A hard save.
04:16And another quick save by Potter.
04:30Best.
04:32What a gorgeous pass, Aston.
04:41Morehead.
04:43Goal.
04:47Alvin.
04:48And stop for outside.
04:5613 minutes, Barnett's 2-1.
05:07Hope to take the free kick.
05:10Manchester United, 10 men in there.
05:13Packed defence now, all in the penalty area.
05:15K, an equaliser.
05:28John K, equalised.
05:36So it's only 20 minutes gone and we've had four goals.
05:53And in fact it's not all that certain that Williams is going to come on.
05:58Maybe Collard's injury not quite as serious as his colleagues thought.
06:04Now Aston.
06:11Number 10 is heard.
06:14Now here's Law with a chance.
06:16And a brilliant save by Jones.
06:24Oh, the Albion defence was cut in two again then.
06:30Charleston with the corner of four.
06:32Manchester United.
06:37And on the field comes Williams.
06:44There he is.
06:45Williams the substitute for Albion.
06:46And Law with a chance for number three.
06:50Yes.
06:56Twelve minutes from halftime.
07:01And Dennis Law.
07:07The score at 13 minutes between Albion's second goal and Manchester United's third.
07:14The longest time we've got in this match without a goal.
07:22Best, he's got Law in the middle.
07:27A lot of Albion players there as well.
07:29Over.
07:34What a good throw there.
07:36Bottom.
07:37To Astor.
08:02Drown.
08:05It's not easy for the Albion four.
08:08to judge the ball in this high wind.
08:12Remember, Albion playing against the wind.
08:22And away Ricks-Lornay's got Hurd with him.
08:25This is two against one.
08:26Should well be the fourth goal. It is.
08:35Three minutes from the halftime.
08:37Hurd gets his third goal of the match.
08:55So Manchester United now lead by four goals to two.
09:00David Hurd scored three of them.
09:05And for H1, there could be dirty looks given towards the Albion defence,
09:12but full marks to Manchester United.
09:14In a magnificent way they take even the half chances.
09:29Here comes Theresa.
09:34And one of the most famous happy stars.
09:47Here comes Fraser.
09:52Great attacking stuff by Albion.
09:55Hope, Astle, go!
10:02Oh, this is magnificent stuff.
10:07And it's 4-3 now.
10:09Watch this again, and this is Fraser, but keep your eye on the man on the right wing.
10:13That's Hope, the big schemer of the Albion side, not the one on the extreme right,
10:18the man moving to the ball now.
10:20Watch how he takes it to the stride, just measures the distance as he floats this cross over.
10:26Knowing that Jeff Astle is inside, that is very tall, devastating in the air.
10:32Now, wait for Astle to come into the picture.
10:34There he is, falling into that one, and a beautiful header for that third goal.
10:48This is Herschel.
10:55That's a foul by Stiles on Cade. Free kick to the Albion.
11:04Free kick going to be taken by Fairfax, and that can't be much longer to go before half-time.
11:12In fact, there isn't any more time at all.
11:15And this great first half ends with the crowd rising to its feet to cheer off the field two great
11:23teams.
11:24This, without doubt, the best first half we've had in match of the day this season.
11:33And so this almost unbelievable match goes into the second half with the Albion kicking off with the wind, losing
11:404-3.
11:44Well, certainly Christmas presents have come early this year.
12:09Manston now got five forwards up, one second in defence, and the next second up with five forwards in attack.
12:16Number eleven, Aston.
12:21Our best.
12:27The way goes hope for Albion.
12:31Up comes Fraser to join in the fun.
12:40Home.
12:44Home.
12:44Home.
12:45You'll definitely take her by a step in, despite the fact Clark put him off by running across the flight.
12:56This really is great stuff.
13:04Aston once again.
13:09Watch out for Heard.
13:11Oh, a great save off the line.
13:13By Williams.
13:22And away goes Noble to Charlton.
13:32Aston.
13:33Astral to Hope.
13:37Brown into Hope.
13:40Manchester United chase back to form up in defence.
13:53Oh, a Heard expected.
13:55Expectative.
13:55Is it Law to be moving up then?
14:11Charlton, the best.
14:15Law, it's going to be five?
14:18No?
14:19No?
14:24What a great move, though.
14:29Glorious pass-room vest.
14:44This is K.
14:51Stiles covering him.
14:53Clarke is in the bar.
15:02Clive Clarke hits the Manchester United bar.
15:13Corner to Albion.
15:17Manchester United now bringing eleven men back into their own penalty area.
15:22Albion pushing everybody forward.
15:26Tall number five.
15:27Jones has gone up.
15:33Oh, it's hit the post!
15:36Fraser hit the post.
15:38Fraser hit the post.
15:38What a memorable match this is.
15:41Of course, everybody's laughing, but it doesn't really matter.
15:44Matches to United are just playing for time now.
15:56And the whistle goes.
15:58This tremendous match is all over.
16:01And certainly this match deserved a standing ovation.
16:04And it's getting it from this big crowd.
16:07The answer is no loop.
16:07We're not yet.
16:09You're right.
16:09It's getting to go soon.
