Enjoyed that. The commentary, the atmosphere at the grounds, the honesty of the players, no tattoos, pitches in different states, keeper's wearing same shorts and socks as teammates, respect to referees and opposition, I could go on and on, a different game in those days and far more enjoyable.

It was connected to ordinary people. How can footballers on £50,000-£150000 a week be connected to ordinary people who pay it. My god during Covid Top clubs furloughed their backroom staff for taxpayers to pay their meagre wages yet because of contracts they paid the footballers salaries. Fully. Did these players say we the players will pay the staff wages. No. None. Today's fans are stupid beyond belief. Shows how the ordinary public have become morally skewed.

Just finished playing for Grimsby Town ... having trials with Ipswich in 71 ... met and played against a few of these lads. Happy days ... have to smile at the condition of the pitches, no wonder the ball spent so much time in the air.

Terrific - a time when football was a people's game and not a business for investors / players with more money than loyalty or love of the game and club .

When the average footballer was just like the punter who watched them. Albeit earning a bit more for playing a game you loved.

I wanted to see the Blackpool v Wolves game on the 6th Feb 1971. I was sat on the side behind the goal where Wolves scored twice with my Blackpool cap on. Remember seeing it on the telly but seems like there is no record now.

Football was a lot simpler then, no parking the bus, VAR, diving, and a lot less shirt tugging and cynical fouling. Attackers attacked, and didn't waste their energy tracking back - don't think the likes of Greaves and Marsh ever defended in their lives. All played with a heavier ball, that got heavier in the wet, on some atrocious pitches, in all conditions, including snow. Of course defending was worse, because teams didn't have the numbers back, didn't park the bus, and there was less tracking back - and defenders didn't spend all the time holding in the box - how many modern defenders could defend if they couldn't get away with holding. Tackling was a lot tougher then of course, and allowed from behind, but players just got up and got on with it. People say players from those days couldn't cut it in the modern game - with modern training methods, lighter equipment and better pitches Greaves, Osgood, George, Best, would still be superstars today. If anything the reverse is likely to be the case - would like to see how modern players cope in 1970 conditions. The game was still played a great pace back then, and the likes of Weller, McDonald, Heigway were as quick as anything you see now. Some skills have determinated or gone out of the game the art of tackling, and more particularly heading. There were some great powerful headers of the ball back then, such as Ron Davies, Lyn Davies, Astle, Lachford, Osgood, and subtle headers like Gilzean. You just don't see the near post flicks these days that were Gilzean's trademark. I started watching in the 60's and still go to games today, and it's still enjoyable, and VAR needs to get sorted because it's killing it for match going fans, but football back in the day was no less enjoyable or entertaining, and just as skilful, but different - it's all relative.

Wow, it's rare having a take that doesn't just boils down to just "hurr durr, it was better back then, modern players are pansies!" I, as a modern fan, actually prefer watching sports from those eras. I dunno, it feels more genuine and authentic than the corporate-feeling landscape of sports today. In the 90s, when i was born, the game already started to become more greedy and corporate, but there was still something enjoyable, and the players and teams still had their own unique styles. Honestly, i feel so distant from professional sports nowadays. I prefer watching the kids play near home and the sunday leaguers than a professional game. Sure, the quality of play is not comparable at all, but there is something which i find lacking in professional sports: passion, personality and authenticity.
