That was normal then, orange ball & player's gave their all. I rmbr a match like this when Leics C. Keith Weller came out wearing a pair of nurses black stockings. It hit the main news!
Another wonderful example of life in the 70s. Sport, fashion, music. Top players used to live on normal housing estates then next to ordinary people, sure they were on good money but not tens of thousands a week! I remember Kenny Burns lived a few doors away from my friend in Toton Nottingham. My friends Mum told him he was driving too fast on the estate. He took it on the chin. This was when Forest were Euro champs too. So much to remember......
Absolutely right. Don't listen to rubbish-quality neo-Thatcherite ideologues who constantly peddle exaggerated mythology about this era which misrepresents it hugely!
That was part of the game snow or mud all types of playing conditions and the game went on...now... Its like a carpet ..maybe soon they wont play if it rains!...the players of today would want more money to play in these conditions and they would struggle in it anyway
I went to a derby v Liverpool probably return game at the baseball ground Bobbie George and super sub Davies for derby up front at the back super players Roy McFarland and Colin Todd .both teams at the top Keegan got the better of Todd scored . think Liverpool won 1 nill . after the game us Liverpool fans walking through a long alley derby fans threw bricks and slates from nearby terrace houses been demolished ambushed incocent people seen young girl head cut open and old fellow s hurt to police no where.i didn't go to anymore Liverpool games away and soon just watched my home town club Walsall I was 17 then and still remember it .I have never liked derby and often hope they lose.some might say Liverpool have been in trouble to and they are right.but when you see bricks and slates blood tears and crying stays with you more than the great football you just watched
