London Evening Standard 5 - a - sides 1985 at Wembley Arena - Winners - Queen's Park Rangers

Shame there’s not enough time in the season to stage these excellent tournaments anymore, most enjoyable 👍👏⚽️

[@bradstocker1717]

Even if there was enough time no club would let there players play in this or any tournament other than the norm that makes money not some 5-a-side tournament for FUN lol, I'd be surprised even if they let there u23 players play!!! The only players you would see play/be aloud to play in a 5-a-side tournament for FUN like this are the youth team players(FOOTBALLS NOT FUN ANYMORE ITS A BUSINESS FOR THESE SORT OF PPL THAT OWN CLUBS) First team players are worth too much to the clubs these days even shit squad players are worth £20million ...... players back then was made different - today players are made of paper mache

Hi was just wondering if you have the unedited version of this as would like to see the Orient highlights if they were shown?

[@stephendines1936]

Nice to Kammy in action. Unbelievable Jeff.

Since when were Luton and Watford in London

[@darrenjazzfunksoul8850]

Greaves deliberately missed out Chelsea because he still had the hump with them for stopping him joining Spurs.

[@Inglese001]

Where were Chelsea ?

[@darrenjazzfunksoul8850]

Greaves never liked Chelsea because they stopped him joining his boyhood team. He had to go and play in Italy for a year and then join them !

[@CARLIN4737]

only big clubs?

[@johnathanryan2117]

Great to see a healthy Jimmy Greaves too. Did they do these tournaments up North ?

[@daviddraper3871]

[@johnathanryan2117]

@@daviddraper3871 did they do these tournaments for northern teams was my question David, cant find any coverage of it from a similair era. Never heard of those teams....😀

[@superally09]

Scottish football had a similar competition but it was 6 a side. Ran from 1984 to around 1992/3.

[@tealingw1371]

Always kicked off. I guess that's why it stopped.
