[@aussieboy77]

Certainly was a very different game back then. The big money that's in the game today didn't exist back then so it was poor stadiums and facilities along with sub-standard pitches. And it was an all-British league, very few foreigners. The games do look very entertaining though and seem to be of a good standard. And it was a much more open competition. Pretty much everyone had a chance to win unlike today where it's the same 3-4 big money clubs that dominate.

Wrong. They're the same weight. FA regs on balls have not changed. The difference is the old balls used to absorb water. Footballs werent water resistant until the early 80s.

[@mediastarguest]

English football has aways been multinational; Scots, Irish, Welsh, commonwealth and a few eastern europeans made the clubs in the seventies strong. But modern Premier League teams struggle to include even one Englishman in their starting line up. The sideways passing is chronic. The new sterile stadiums have turned English football into a corporate day out. The three-foreigner rule should be brought back. You can see what teams entirely made of foreign players in Serie A has done to the Italian national side.

Don't want to sound like an old git, but football really was unpredictable back then.

Yes, as a 19 year old Villa fan I well remember Rangers coming down for that ''friendly'' game in October 1976. I arrived before 2pm down at the bottom left hand corner of our massive home Holte End - looked up the terracing to see that it was packed out with the blue and white of the visiting Scots. The home Villa fans were being steered down pitch side to walk up to stand on the opposite Witton End. Most of the crowd of 17,000 was from Rangers, say around 12,000 approx. visitors. Most sensible Villa fans wisely stayed away, it was always going to very dangerous, they were coming down on trains and coaches the day before and absolutely paralytic drunk up in the city centre. When Villa went 2-0 up on 53 minutes, that's when these fighting mad maniacs stormed onto the pitch. No danger for me, I had already departed at half time, you knew it was about to turn ugly. IMHO, only Millwall would give these crazies a run for their money.
