It's mad to think that more time has past since this program was made than the original nostalgia it was documenting!

[@danw1374]

I know. Its bloody scary how quickly the time has gone by since then! 😳

[@garyowens1517]

This was when football was enjoyable. None of this obsession with stats and possession all the time. You lost the ball you won it back. The premiership has gone boring

[@tonybates7870]

Gary Owens Football's still enjoyable - always will be. Brilliant game.

[@harryroberts2403]

When football belonged to the working man. Back when there was real atmosphere at the footer not like the vastly overpriced sterile version we have to SIT through now.!!

[@JordanCrump15]

Harry Roberts totally agree the real working class of this country have been out priced. Also the leagues, clubs and associations have ruined it. Went to Wembley vs Watford in the fa cup semi final few months ago and the stewards make you sit down or get chucked out

[@TheWelwyn21]

It still belongs to the working man except the working man earns more money

[@ericvance2859]

Gary Strachan Bullshit!

[@Liofa73]

Harry Roberts --- You're a working class snob.

[@bruce5799]

i'm with you mate!. I am sick of seeing pink boots and kits.

[@ATVmidlands5581]

Look at the Stretford End here compared to how it is now. Its a shambles today. The prem is a bore - fest. ATVmidlands

[@gordontaylor5373]

I don't think it's called the Stretford End any more. Is it not the Liam Whelan Stand now?

[@baneswellboy7506]

Hi Pretty sure it's still the stretford end.

[@redflag8970]

Football late 80s was shit to it needed a revamp it’s a shame it’s gone to far

Stan Bowles- Collyhursts 4th finest...behind Kiddo Nobby and Les Dawson.

in those days you could tackle without fear of getting a red card !

I cant believe how squashed people are on those terraces..didnt they feel crushed?

My team manchester United shud of won the league in this year had tommy doc not played paddy Roche in goal for abt three games mid October. But one game against stoke in April 76 really put an end to a great season in division one. We even reached the fa cup final that year Ok don't gloat. Bobby stokes was miles offside!!!!

[@waynemurray5264]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 typical rag comment. Let me remind you, after 42 games or 38 as it is now, the BEST TEAM ALWAYS WINS THE LEAGUE. Everyone can look back at certain games and say what if , or if that had happened. My club MCFC were 6 points clear going into the last 9 games in 71-72, and that was when it was only 2 points for a win. Malcolm signed Rodney Marsh around March, we finished 4th on goal average, only 1 point behind Derby who won it. We couldn’t see it out , we didn’t deserve the title. Marsh’s signing upset the rhythm of the team, he admits this himself. The rest is history.

[@lewisgreen1633]

Great crowd at Loftus rd. The team also weren’t a quarter pound of rubbish back then..

Man Utd had CCTV in the 1960s.

[@mcmango84]

What did Stan Bowles win as a player?????NOTHING! Just a waste!

[@geoffmillin6125]

Bristol rovers vs Southampton

[@tobyaughnotobi3919]

He may not have but what an entertainer. Along with Tony Currie, Frank Worthington, Bestie, Rodney Marsh and a few others, he drew in the crowds. Most players today are only interested in their instogram profile.

[@danw1374]

What a talent though, stan couldve walked into any side and lit it up.

[@mrkipling2201]

All the quality players that could play for England in the 70’s, why were we so awful?? I think that’s the worst decade we had for international football.

[@goodlife6145]

They needed a certain Mr. Clough at the helm.

[@danw1374]

​@goodlife6145 Brian wanted to control football at all levels. Clough once said after he was turned down for the England managers job "I think the FA were terrified that I would take over the place, and I would have done, I'd have taken it over lock stock & barrel"

[@danw1374]

Cruel luck on QPR that season, what a magnificent side.

That Man Utd team would have challenged Liverpool all the way if old Tommy had kept his knob in his pants

[@alexlee7773]

in such a short space of time, leeds were a shadow of their former selves

[@bigbadbill0071]

tends to happen with most great sides. look at liverpool in 90s. utd recently. though they never sunk like leeds did.

[@olayinkaamara385]

big bad one Everton after 1970 when Catterick sold Alan Ball to Arsenal the following year and declined quickly is another example.

[@musicplateau1]

The longer you try to keep a side together then the quicker they fall apart. The Leeds team from 76' onwards tried to compete but you could sense their peak had passed, it was a sad day when they were cheated out of the European cup v Bayern.
