John Wark Presents 50 Greatest Floodlight Failures of the Eighties

John Wark presents highlights of the best floodlight failures in English football during the 1980s. Wark, who holds the record for playing in most games abandoned or delayed due to floodlight failures (12), takes a head-on look at the facts and figures of a half-century of electricity calamities*.

*Only 7 of the 50 matches have TV footage of the incidents, so Wark recreates the other 43 using a mixture of torches, candles and an Ipswich Town duvet cover

Those Hurriance twats robbed Dunmore United in the quarters with their cartoon antics. Fancy Neasden to beat Melchester, unless big Dunc McKay recovers from that headband-related injury.

Glorious.

you can fuck off Foz...I admit it was spoiled by his Bebeto celebration

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Key to that seemed to be the keeper assuming he was crossing the ball.

it was much better when I first saw it - in my memory the ball went like a fucking rocket and didn't lose any height and he was on the half way line...here it looks like a decent strike with pace but much closer in and slight dip. slow motion does NOTHING for it

Still looks like that from the pitchside camera, looks a bit less good from behind the goal though.

That will never not be funny.

I guess it was inevitable and I know plenty on here and elsewhere will be disappointed, especially in Ireland and North Wales, but it's good to see that the EPL chiefs have finally seen sense. I wonder whether the reds will be able to get back up to speed in time for the next season whenever it begins, or will City and United cull their deadwood and start spending similar sums on centre backs and goalkeepers and restore order? They've ridden their luck for a good few months so you'd have to expect that this break will reset fortunes all round. All the best to all football fans out there.

If anyone thinks I'm being unkind here, please remember that many of my friends and family suffer even worse because they have to endure my extreme sadism dressed up as disingenuous obsequiousness. I regularly channel my ecstatic hatred through boundless effusive praise for Mr Klopp and his magnificent young team. I offer lofty saccharine deference to young Trent and Joe, the very backbone of the England side for years to come. I salute the wizardry of Harvey, a mere schoolboy, and to the indefatigability of Sadio - a Super Sub for the 21st century. He would walk into the Real Madrid side, I can tell you that much! I don't know what Mr Klopp says to them in that Anfield dressing room but my goodness, he's got them playing like world beaters - and believing they are, too. The fairest thing would be to simply hand them their trophy now. We may never see their like again.
