All Whites History

As an historian, and an All Whites tragic, I've spent/wasted way too much time over the years gathering and archiving matches.  But apart from the occasional request from a player who wants to see a game he played in, they mainly just sit dormant.  So I've created a channel on YouTube to share the stuff I've saved, so that other fans can enjoy it.

I'll do my best to upload more stuff as time goes on, and it'll be highlights rather than full matches.  I've put the first batch up, and will try and cover as many time periods as I can with future uploads.  Feel free to make requests :)

This is the channel:

And one of the first clips up there:

Jeeze Utting was pretty good eh?

That finish by Coveny is terrific!

LEGEND, will follow your channel

I would recommend putting "New Zealand" or "All Whites" in the titles of your videos, at first I thought "Fr" was an abbreviation for France, which was probably stupid of me. However, if you want more YouTube users to be able to find your videos you should definitely clarify what the video is about in the title.

Good stuff.

basically a Nutting highlights reel.

This weeks ITBOTN Throwback Thursday is some All Whites history, AW's v England at Mt Smart, 1991.

I was there! There was a Pom guy behind me going on "which one is Lineker, which one is Lineeekkeerrrr?" - because he is playing in red, it somehow confused the shark out of him. Bet no one at Heathrow cried when he left.....

And the Chch game - was that the only time the AWs ever played in red? (or pink, as it looks like....)

Chch? That was Athletic Park in Wellington. 

Was it? Ha! Ahh well, both stadiums don't exist now......

Question remains - is that the only time the AWs have worn red/pink?

Afternoon all,

After enduring the last 2 All Whites matches on TV, I thought it might be nice to recall some matches where victories over Oceania nations were slightly more aesthetically appealing - so five new matches up on the channel, including this one v PNG.

Enjoy :)

All White History. Alas, tainted with incompetant administrators for far too long. How we made 2 world cups is a miracle that only God could have allowed. Sure the players earned it on the field but off it rank amateurs ruled.

Hello all, six new clips this week, from the 1998 Oceania Champs and then Confeds in Mexico - enjoy :)

I watched one of the old All Whites videos..... 

......What on earth is this?

It was the logo that Oceania used for the finals tournament - can't remember exactly which one, early 2000's I think

the infamous deal with it ball

If the question running through your head is, "What would the All Whites playing Jamaica, with Chinese commentary, look like?", then here's your answer...

Afternoon all, some clips on the channel from the 2000 Oceania Nations Cup, including the final v Australia with Chris Jackson's, um, tumble...

Obviously the All White history started in 2003 ??

Have you even looked at his youtube channel? You'll find games from much earlier than 2003 on there.

I like it when people are jackasses to other people who do something good for the football community. 

Personally I think these clips that are being uploaded are a great source of nostalgia. Thanks for doin it. Seeing players of yesteryear again. I can still remember watching the 3-3 draw that kicked off that 1982 run.

As an aside, anyone else remember watching Ron Armstrong play and mdore locally I saw Barry Pickering play for Stop out v North Shore at Te Whiti Park. I am pretty sure Dereck Gibson-Smith was also playing for Stop Out. Can others please confirm or correct me?

I asked a question --- jackass, and you have not answered the question.

Hi there Leggy - apologies if I my first posting inferred that.  The first set of clips I uploaded spanned from 1977 to those later ones - I only embedded that USA clip because Vaughan's goal was a belter that I thought people might enjoy.

As I've mainly archived complete games over the years, it takes a while to put together the highlights (leaving aside the few news clips I've put up).  I've got several dozen matches, so it will take some time to get all of them posted.  For the record, the oldest match I have is from 1973, and I'm not sure if there's any footage of a NZ international older than that - it's in black and white, and a good 30 years older than the USA clip :)

Hopefully there's still something on the channel that you'll enjoy.  If you or anyone you know has some old VHS footage somewhere from earlier eras, I'd love the chance to make a copy if that's possible.

Thanks for posting the Taiwan game.

That was the first All Whites match I ever attended. Can still remember Steve Sumner's thunderbolt, even without the video footage! :-)

I think the "run" started at Bill McKinlay Park with the 4-0 win over Mexico.

For the first few games of that World Cup run, when I went to the games I knew at least half the spectators by name: not so later on though.

TB you're a legend and a credit to the game. Thanks heaps.

Great stuff. That John Houghton, now he was a proper player.

I wonder if a referee has ever worn a turban in an official game since that NZ vs Taiwan game? 

And a tough Scot.

Great footage Milts! I've never seen any AWs stuff from the 70s before. Sumners thunderbolt was awesome, and it's good to see the AWs before they were "all white".....the black shorts look good.

Just found this site (which you may all know about, but I didn't.......) - it has really good stories of Maurice Tillotson's time coaching/playing for Gisborne/Manurewa/New Zealand/Stop Out

http://tillotson.co.nz/

Yeah, there's a Maurice Tillotson thread on this forum somewhere.

I'd love them to return to the black shorts. The all-white thing is so bland.

He was always happy to sign an autograph after a National League game, as were you Leggy. Bill De Graaf, Kevin Curtin and Praven Jeram were others whose signatures seemed to appear of every second page of my autograph book.

watching the Taiwan game, I recon that team of '77 would have walked through the AW side that just claimed the ONC.

I remember seeing a photo of NZ first World Cup game in 1969...NZ wore black and white stripes shirts and black shorts...be nice to go back to that I reckon
