This is a famous date in All Whites history - the epic World Cup qualifying playoff in Singapore in 1982. A match that had it all - if you've not seen these highlights before, take a few minutes, it's worth it!!
[Edited: 12/1/22] Indeed, a match so important in NZ football history , it probably deserves its own thread. Especially since today is actually the 40th anniversary of the match. Which is the reason I came on here today to see if anyone was on to this and was pleasantly surprised to find this. I watched this as a 16 year-old who had followed the whole campaign from that first draw with the Socceroos at Mount Smart on ANZAC Day, April 1981. It was very exciting for a teenage football fan in Nelson, with Fallon (assistant coach)and five of the players having played for Nelson United in the years before (Richard Wilson, Kenny Cresswell, Ricki Herbert, Keith McKay, Peter Simonsen) Ten of the 22 man 1982 World Cup Finals squad had played for South Island national league teams in the years before the qualifiers, several of them most of their NZ career to that point. Which shows you how strong football was in the South Island in the 1970's and early 1980's (Christchurch United & other Chch clubs, Dunedin City, Nelson United).
It's great that Khalil Media has put up his entire collection of highlights of All Whites matches (those he legally can) on his "All Whites History" thread on here. Quite a trip down memory lane and most of it impossible to find anywhere else.! Complete past All Whites matches are hard to find due to strict copyright enforcement or lack of surviving footage (wiped by TVNZ, not available from foreign TV companies etc.). You can find the whole earlier group match vs. China from 1981 on You Tube, complete with the build-up show hosted by a young Peter Williams here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovKR6hYJxDk It's a transfer of someone's video of the NZ TV broadcast so the picture quality isn't up to moden digital standards - but it's still great to see (and otherwise not available anywhere else) NZ vs. Kuwait and NZ vs. Fiji full matches 1982 home qualifiers are also on this fantastic "Old Football Matches" You Tube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoLXu_ErtcO5LnObPm3GFTDtH8iutsUqD NZ vs. Israel 1990 WC qualifier, Auckland full match here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBQVL6Db5Uw&list=PLoLXu_ErtcO5ETFWYW6EjSh1ggFjsG7-l&index=3 Download "Clip Grab" free software here and then you can download such rare videos to keep on your computer (and then even burn onto a DVD): https://clipgrab.en.softonic.com/ (once you have the software, choose "original format" or "MP4" for downloading videos, "MP3" for audio clips such as albums on You Tube)
