Hi
Not sure you will find any footage of the game from Highbury as it was not shown on uk tv
At the time we were not showing any live club football outside of finals
And the highlights programme would generally only show one game
During the week of the first leg sportsnight( which was the bbc sporting magazine show) broadcast Southampton v sporting Lisbon
And in the second leg itv’s show that was called midweek sports special showed Liverpool v alkmaar ( sometimes the regions may show a different game but the only one was in the midlands and they showed Aston Villa v dynamo berlin)
Generally not until later in the competition would an away leg be shown
We did have two Saturday lunchtime shows called football focus and on the ball which would sometimes have some of the goals of the away legs
I went to the game at Highbury but on the night of the away leg I was at the Lyceum watching the clash
I have vague memories of the game being broadcast on bbc radio London ( the away leg) funny
I have more clarity about things 40 odd years ago than I do now
First of all congratulations for your current leading position.
I'm the administrator of the KFC Winterslag facebook Page and YouTube channel.
As some of you might remember Winterslag's moment of glory was back in '81 when they eliminated Arsenal that season in the Uefa-cup.
For a reunion in 2023, we are looking to find footage of the game in Highbury.
Your help would be appreciated.
Also, we would gladly like to hear the impressions about your visit to Winterslag, as we both know things went crazy that night
A big thank you for your reply, I really hope to see some footage of the home game at Highbury.
The link below is about the away tie @ Winterslag, I created this channel about KFC Winterslag,
Nowadays they are known as KRC Genk after merging with local rivals Thor Waterschei back in 1988. The stadium doesn't exist anymore, they play at a modern arena on the former ground of their rivals.
That last photo / ground is what I call Old Skool!
On a freezing winter's sunday morning, when there are more corner flags than people watching, 10 of the team have got hangovers from hell and the ref turns out to be the brother-in-law of one of the opposition....
Some of my mates went to the away leg, it kicked off over there & Terry Neill our old manager was hit by a brick, supposedly thrown by our fans after trying to calm the crowd down.
Supposedly Winterslag were known as the Millwall of Belgium at that time, big industrial area / coalmines region but Thatcher probably closed 'em all down afterwards!
I think that was our last game in Belgium, until we played at Standard Leige won '7-0 in 1993, even Eddie McGoldrick actually scored & the locals were up for a fight!
There must be some stories about this on the old wearetheherd.com site, I've heard that some computer geek herdsman has backed up all the stories on there before it finally went down summer 2019.

That 7-0, Eddie scored and also set up about 4 of our other goals. Many Gooners and Arsenal players at the time thought we'd signed a gem. The players even nicknamed him "Snowie" because he settled so quickly.

Thx for the little story, being named the Millwall of Belgium is a flattering compliment, the football club, the Miners' district and its residents were notorious throughout Belgium.
I really hope to get my hands on footage of the game in Highbury and the stories of the old wearetheherd.com site

Mate, being called "Millwall" is not a compliment. Millwall were and are all cùnts.

You should have left him in blissful ignorance mate..... would have been interesting when he went to visit their ground and they heard his accent!

I gues they are everyone's rival ? , What I did mean to say was that nobody liked visiting Winterslag back in the days, there was a hostile environment at that area around the stadium for visitors.
