Modern Football is too fast paced due primarily to the players being athletes first footballers second. Terrible Injuries are now common because of that fact Watching Hudson Bowles and Currie play and thrive on the pitches in the 70s prove that the best way to acknowledge great players is to make playing the game as difficult as possible i.e Bad pitches , old style refereeing - the cream always rise to the top
I’m 62 and lived and watched football all through this period these guys and Colin Bell, Lee, Chivers, Clark. But you seem to forget this was when England couldn’t qualify for World Cups. I remember crying my little eyes out after the Poland game, oh yes and Mike Shannon was in that game!
These guys were all good but wouldn't get into the top 100 players of today in terms of skill, fitness, physical strength, and mental strength/attitude.
Wow, man, cool! I haven't seen this since 1980! One of the great comedy spoofs of modern film. A staple at Art Cinemas and Psychotronic Film Festivals around the country in the later years of the 20th Century.
