Thanks big dog enjoyed that trip down pre birth memory lane seeing some towns supposed legends doing their best in the4th div . Few points I’d like to make though.
1. The football was pretty shite , no change there then in the last 40 years
2. Not a lot of imagination went into the kit . No badge on the shirt even ffs
3. You could happily smoke a pipe on the terrace without a steward giving you grief


Tees probably had his pipe primed for half time.

Wow really enjoyed that proper football before we sold our soul to TV . A forth division game taking prime position over the mighty Leeds and arsenal
Do we have anymore videos would be great to see the Sheffield Utd game when we won the championship

Pre-commercialism. When kits weren't changed every season to flog a bit more over-priced tat to kids. Could be seen as a positive.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That Sheff U game was a great day, we destroyed them with a hat trick from a local lad included. Seem to recall the TV coverage was pretty short compared to what Bigdog posted.

You mean YORKSHIRE TV didn't want to give much publicity to a team from Yorkshire getting stuffed by a team from outside 'God's Own County"?!

Must have been the smallest squad ever. Not one number above 11 at the start !


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Huge crowd that day and no segregation....mucho fisticuffs in the ground between both sets of fans. Horrible trip back to the tube station trying to dodge all the nutters. On getting back to the station we saw a load of GTFC fans standing at the top of the bridge inside as a load of Brentford were coming up the other side at them. Cue madness as Town waded into them, thankfully, and me at the back wading over the bodies just happy to come through unscathed! Totally different world back then following Town away, especially in London where there could be up to a dozen or so different team's mobs raking through the tube system. Think I often came home with brown legged trousers on.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
