Preferred the football from this era....proper tackling, no agents, no diving , no obscene wages.....a game played , hard and fair with muddy pitches cold tea and warm beer....footy with faults..loved it........ not like the money obssessed juggernaut it is today...perfect manicured pitches ....and manicured players......miss those great times of the 70s and 80s

Relatively cheaper tickets.Choice to stand on the terraces.Park near most grounds. No VAR to ruin the flow of the game.Nearly all honest British players.

[@mikewest1542]

100% correct, too much money in the game , ffs if you earner 500k a week what can you do with it ? Foreigners all over the pitch mercenaries of course, move on where the money is! Diving all over the place , and the prices to see a game , a minimum £30 just to see Bournemouth lol. Man City have bought the premier league as did Chelsea and Man Utd, and Blackburn before them. I still go but struggle to remember the names of the overseas players !

[@chrisevans5259]

It's unrecognizable to the game I grew up to, and loved......I tend to watch more non league football nowadays,..they play with a real passion and an honestly, and a real love of the game,......players with only winning and doing their best on the pitch, in their minds,....not how much money they can grab

Harford scores the only goal of the game to keep us up on the last day for the 2nd season running, both in the dying minutes, first at Cov's old Highfield Rd ground in 1982, & then at the Dell against a strong Saints side in '83. Most people will remember the game at Maine Rd more though, as a late Raddy Antic winner for Luton, who needed to win, sent Man City down instead, who only needed to draw...cue David Pleat in his suit and his memorable celebratory run on to the pitch at the end, an iconic MotD moment

[@Isleofskye]

I would love you to explain the logic of that Gary. The other year there were 2 or 3 or even 4 minute delays???? IF it was like the brilliant Goal-Line technology which is instant then no-one could complain or object but it's not at all. I have been to well over 2,000 games since 1962 and being brought up on the old Millwall Terraces I know all about intensity,passion and fervour and maintaining the momentum.That is why we broke the (then ) league record of 59 games at home without defeat,almost 3 successive seasons. The crowd are urging you on with the opposition very much under the cosh and then it's HOLD IT EVERYONE take it easy we are going to have a review and you can bet defences will latch on to this to cause delays. Use it to retrospectively stop the ludicrous diving and cheating that has come in by all means. In the days of the real hard men like Jackie Charlton/Hunter/Tommy Smith/Ron Harris etc you hardly ever had a stoppage. Being old skool this is just another tool that will dilute and dissipate our (once) great atmospheres.Now look at many "modern " stadiums( NOT Tottenhams) , there are plastic.Plastic fans paying ridiculous prices to see some Clubs spend their way to monopoloising the trophys in All-Seater stadiums with NFL style "Stop/Stop/Start" and a goal thrown out because the all-important 1984 watchful eye says his kneecap was 2 inches offside. CAN'T WAIT....lol ps How do you genuinely celebrate many goals wholeheartedly next season when you know that 20%+ of goals are ruled out ? Even those celebrations will be disrupted and muted until zzzzzzzzzz the goal is finally given....

Remember this Saturday well. Was at Elland Road to see Leeds win 3-2 and relegate Rotherham in the process. We all went nuts when we saw Man.City had lost to Luton.

[@chrisbell5920]

You're right about the football seeming to be of lower Championship standard. That's because it is exactly THAT. Since the advent of the Premier League in 1992, the quality and ability at the top level has improved incredibly, a huge step-up in skill and competitiveness (and price), leaving behind what was called Division One which remained at the same (lesser) level. Eventually, that lower level gave itself a media makeover and started to call itself....... the Championship. And here we are today. But, to be fair, the 1980's were simply a fabulous time to be young (if you ignore Thatcherism, the Miners' Strike, the IRA bombing campaign in Britain, the King's Cross Fire, the Herald of Free Enterprise, the Marchioness disaster, the Clapham rail crash, Hungerford, the Yorkshire Ripper, the Inner City riots of 81 and 85, The Falklands War, record unemployment, AIDS, Heysel, the Bradford City fire, Chernobyl, the October 87 Hurricane, Black Monday, Piper Alpha, Lockerbie, Kegworth air crash, Hillsborough and the looming imminent nuclear Armageddon of the Cold War.)
