Still was not born for this Super Bowl, so here are some of the major events that took place in 1972, the year this Super Bowl was played. Richard Nixon visited China, opening up relations with a country that the United States had refused to recognize since Mao's Communist takeover in the years following World War II.  The Olympics were held in Munich, West Germany, which was the first time that Germany had been granted such a prestige following World War II. However, those Olympics would be overshadowed by the murder of 11 Israeli athletes by an Arabic terrorist group. Later in the year for Christmas, Nixon ordered a "Christmas Bombing" for the Vietnam War. Britain took over Northern Ireland directly.  The world's population was 3.86 billion people.

Super Bowl V is not a full game, and for years, recordings only seemed to offer most of the second quarter. This is a more updated version and has most of the game, although not the full game in it's entirety.
