Things you don’t see anymore in football

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

A drop ball with a player from each side going for it

Players wearing sweat bands on their wrist (Peter Withe)

Players with those weird white strips on their nose (Fowler)

Fans queuing up over night for tickets

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The man with the pocket radio pressed against his ear. Could have been relaying any manner of nonsense but he was respected a level of trust nobody in modern society attains.

They've scored.....

Going to Piccadily station during the week to buy your football special ticket for the following Saturday.

The football special! Very worst rolling stock on the British Rail network chartered especially for the game with what was essentially a tuck shop behind a metal grille providing the only refreshments. When the authorities treated us like animals back in the 70's they shouldn't have been surprised when some behaved like animals.

The smell of beer, tobacco and farts when stood on the terraces

 

[EricBrooksGhost]

Police marching round the pitch just before the end of the match to the Laurel & Hardy theme tune being whistled by the fans

Or singing "Harry Roberts is our friend"

 

[Bobby the blue]

Players wearing headbands.

Proper full on shoulder barges.

Players getting muddy shorts.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

The smell of beer, tobacco and farts when stood on the terraces

Or the players changing room ;)

Why does nobody wear a decent pair of shinpads nowadays
