I’m a Scotsman I’m absolutely in awe of sheer brilliance within that dressing room, everyone was a character, a gentleman and a scholar and for those kings within that team who are no longer with us all I can say is Thank you gents for blessing us all whilst we had the pleasure of watching and admiring you. God speed 🇬🇧🏴🏴👍
Best bit is you could easily believe the legends in this advert would play on a sunday morning for nothing more than the love of football.... proper oldschool!
Cold crisp morning, the smell of horse liniment, the feeling comradery combined with humour, the excitement of competition. Nothing more English. Miss those days.
The best bit is Bobby's goal. Untarnished excellence. Good follow through with the foot toes pointing down so he has hit it with the instep and perfect balance.
This guy set the standard for great managers like Jose Mourinho, and spotted great talents such as Brazilian Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy and Kluivert. A true legend - RIP.
This advert brought back memories, it’s a shame half of those legends have passed away. The comradery in the dressing room is hilarious, one of the finest football adverts ever made. RIP guys.
Sunday 10am kick-off, hangovers, smell of liniment, dogshit on the pitch, wind, rain, mud, cold showers, bucket of cold water with sponge for injuries, cigarette and slice of orange at half time...happy days.
I'm a sheffield Wednesday fan, a couple of wednesday legends in there in Chris Waddle and Des Walker and of course Jack Charlton former manager of the owls
I’ve just stumbled across this wonderful piece; it should’ve been re-released, during the Pandemic, to remind us all of the good times and when they’ll return .
Was it true or a myth that the other team didn’t know who was turning up until they ran out? Or maybe I just want to always believe they didn’t know haha. Imagine
2? Waddle and Beardsley. Even then Beardsley is from Hexham, so shouldn't count either. Waddle was a Sunderland supporter as a boy too. Charltons aren't Geordies - and Bobby was a Sunderland fan. Bobby Robson from Durham, Bryan Robson from Chester-le-Street.
