All Whites History
Evening all, another match from 1988, with some interesting action:
With it being the anniversary of "that" match in Saudi, a couple of questions that have probably already been asked and answered before;
Had the AWs worn that green (was it green?) uniform before or since? The hue of the green is very unusual.....
Needing a bagful of goals, away in the Middle East, on an unusual pitch.......OK, Saudi probably dialled their performance in, but match fixing has to be raised here, surely? (not by us, as we have no money). The result is standing on a roof, waving a red flag
Great clip from Jeremy Wells and the Unauthorised History of NZ crew on 1981/2 campaign....complete with Osama Bin Laden as centre back for Saudi Arabia;
Hi Russ - the kit was actually blue, but the footage colour was all "washed out" because of the intensity of the light/heat there. As the sun went down and lights came on, that changed, and by the end of the game it looked blue :)
Footage clip here too:

Cheers Milts; so was that the only time they wore that blue shirt then?
And has there ever been any talk of match fixing?
They wore blue against Fiji in Ba earlier in the campaign.
They also wore blue in a friendly against Wales in 2007 (2-2 draw)

They also wore blue in a friendly against Wales in 2007 (2-2 draw)
Also against Georgia in 2006 IIRC
They also wore blue in a friendly against Wales in 2007 (2-2 draw)
yes scored both goals as NZ came from 2-0 down to draw, Wales had Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy in their team that day
Blue alternate strip also used during the Nations Cup in 2004 - they wore it in first match v Aus (who wore white...) and against Fiji

I remember that one - sort of hideous, but sort of good in that we were trying to break away from the white/black combo. Just hadn't seen the blue/green one from the 82 campaign outside of the fix match in Riyadh.
Evening all - with the talk about wearing blue v Saudi, here is highlights of that match:

Stats for those1988 olympic qualifiers. The final stage of qualifying was shared around NZ with games in Christchurch and Wellington as well as Auckland. I remember the Christchurch games being at QEII. It was full senior sides in those days (not u-23 as it is now):

Morning all, an old school classic:
Morning all - this match was the last AWs fixture of the 1980s, and a really solid result against a good quality opponent:
That team improved with every game and ended up playing some really good football
If I remember correctly, we hadn't played for a while and things were a bit of a mess when John Adshead took over. So Adshead built a team around his Mount Wellington side in order to get started with some cohesion.
The squad was dominated by players from The Mount and Papetoetoe. More seasoned players like Noel Barkley, Billy Wright, Ricki Herbert, Michael Ridenton, Fred de Jong, Darren McClennan, Chris Riley and even Clint Gosling earlier in his career all played for either club and they were joined by The Mount's Martin Jennison, Nigel Debenham and Dave Witteveen, and Papetoetoe's Tommy Mason and Tony Levy. Some of these dudes weren't our best All Whites ever, but they were very good national league players who were used to playing well in what was a very tough league.
Unfortunately we got dicked by the Aussies over there. As usual, the Aussies were good, but we were massively under done and we also didn't have Wynton available. But by the end of this campaign, the team were humming. Typical NZ football, still preparing half way through.
Oh, and here's a fun fact... after these games Tony Levy got selected to to play in a World Jewish team
I remember being at this game with a couple of friends from school - we went right to the top of the stand at Mt Smart and yelled and carried on... the crowd was so small that at a couple of places on the tape I could actually hear us yelling, and that would've picked up by the sideline mic...
On the bright side, at least it wasn't the curtain raiser for a rugby game, as the game the week before against Australia had been...
A little off topic, but does anyone remember the Mexico 86 coverage on TV1? This might jog a few memories...
No, and Jesus.
Morning, couple more clips from 1981...
Its great seeing the old All Whites again. That Indonesian defence was really amateur.
A legendary team. Steve Woodin and that trusty left foot. What a half volley from Elrich!
Morning all - gone for iconic today:
I've now completed uploading all my match highlights from the 1980s! (excluding the copyrighted stuff that gets blocked...). To help navigate that on the channel, there are playlists for:
1982 World Cup Qualifying
1986 World Cup Qualifying
1988 Olympic Qualifying
1990 World Cup Qualifying
Hopefully people find something to enjoy.

And if anyone has, or knows of, any footage of games from the 80s that isn't included in my lists, please let me know - always happy to add to the archive :)
If I haven't said it yet, these are really good. Love you work milts.
When shorts were shorts and shin pads were optional.
THE GOOD OL' DAYS!
Morning all, trying to load more from the 1990s now, starting with these 2 clips including a World Cup qualifying victory over Fiji (who had an 'energetic' keeper ...)
And also created a playlist for "The 80s":

(Please note the clips from 82 got blocked, so hence not in the list...)
Damn. Why did they get blocked?
FIFA copyright. Same with Confeds clips.
Morning all - remember when the All Whites got that amazing result against Uruguay, a 2-2 draw?? well, this is the other game a couple of days earlier when they got pantsed 7-0... but at least Ivan made his debut...
Hi everyone,
I've added a new playlist for the 1995 tour to South America:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8aDhxPE4J9...
After a warmup match in Tahiti, there was a 3-game tournament in Chile, and then 2 matches in Uruguay. Was an interesting series of games - Bobby Clark in charge, some young players breaking through, and the All Whites scoring goals against impressive opposition. Includes the two clips below that were just uploaded - enjoy :)

Ouch!
This was an interesting side. There were no A games in 1994 and we had a new coach, Bobby Clark, who held trials and came up with a squad full of new players. Over time, the squad gradually welcomed back many players who were involved pre-Clark and then by the time we played the World Cup qualifiers against the Socceroos, the team had little resemblance to the side first picked and contained even more new additions.
This game was about half way through that 'process'
Fans of 'defenders in midfield' will be delighted to see that Stu Jacobs played regularly in a holding role. In this game he was joined by Graeme Marshall, who in fairness was a utility and who was subbed early just before the floodgates began to open.
The lineup for this side was Batty - Zoricich, Rennie, Gray, A. Evans - McGarry, Jacobs, Marshall, Elliott - Jackson - McClennan
Normally Clark played a 4-1-3-2 with either Coveny or Elrick up front with McClennan
Morning all, new clip from a match in China in 1996 - saw Wynton gain his first full cap since the 90s! (he'd played numerous times vs club sides, such as the UK tour, and Werder Bremen series, but not full internationals) and China wearing some random blue strip...

Hello all, 3 new clips today from 1997 - 2 from a tournament early in the year in Australia, and then the first leg of the WCQ playoff vs Socceroos... enjoy (kind of...):

Jason Batty. Sigh.
