Match of the Seventies
Match of the Seventies is a British sports documentary television series which aired on BBC 1 in two series between 26 July 1995 and 2 September 1996. Presented by Dennis Waterman it featured highlights of the English football seasons during the 1970s. It begins in the summer of 1970, shortly after England's defeat in the World Cup in a season in which Arsenal won the double and concludes at the end of the 1979-1980 season with an increasingly dominant Liverpool side retaining their league title.

The series was able to utilise the BBC's "Match of the Day" archives. It was part of the growing boom in nostalgia for the decade. Waterman, a football fan, had become a television star during the decade in "The Sweeney" and remained closely associated with the seventies. It was subsequently followed by "Match of the Eighties".
