Me old man would watch this back in the day, before going down the pub . Then we'd have the telly to ourselves 😊 Them days were simple and life was more family/community orientated . 🍺⚽️❤🇬🇧
Used to go to my Nan and Grandad's every Saturday. Get there for lunch, stay for tea. My Dad would do their garden, and we would go play. Then every one would always gather round the TV to watch the scores. Council house, Park Drive ciggies, pot of tea. Great memories.
13 of these clubs in Division 4 here have since fallen out of the football league, folded and reformed and some have made it back. Only 3 sides that entered the FL since Divs 3 and 4 were added in 1958/59, joining the FL LATER have not got into the top division Oxford Wimbledon and Wigan.
I actually went to 2 games that day, i was at Anfield for an early kick off watching Manchester City, i got back to my house in Stretford (about 10 minutes walk from Old Trafford) my red brother was just leaving to watch United, he asked if i wanted to go along with him, so i did, i still had the programme from the Liverpool vs City game in my pocket!
I was just wondering the date and guessed it was around Christmas, as the English league (not sure about Scotland?) Held local darbys then if possible, and there are several examples of this in the matches played, or at least places that are relatively close together, apparently it was for ease of travelling around Christmas time.
@@Eurobrasil550 I think there was a time once, when most English league games on Boxing Day/New Year's Day were local derbies, as you pointed out, for ease of travelling, possibly due to good weather not being guaranteed at those times of the year. Then again, I've known times when there've been one or two fixtures involving lengthy journey's for some clubs, ie on Boxing Day 1990, my local side, Sunderland, had to journey to Crystal Palace, & for a 12.30PM KO!
when football was played by real men. look at the teams that are lower lge now Barnsley, Coventry, Swansea, to much money on football now lower lge clubs don't have chance
Reminds me of being in the car with my dad in the early 2000s. Loved listening to football and cricket on the radio was we drove between Devon where I lived and London where he did
Oldham played Leeds the previous day (Christmas Sunday 26th December). This is Boxing Day 1982, moved to Monday 27th and most teams played again Bank Holiday Tuesday 28th.
