A Third Division game. 24,000. Remember a Town game v Pompey from the third or fourth division being on MOTD too. Can’t imagine that being shown nowadays. 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.

Reminds me of Bradley! “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

We hardly ever saw it unless visiting or unless the northern games were off through bad weather. I enjoyed the Newcastle/Man City game. Rod Marsh’s goal from Tuart’s cross was lovely. The other noticeable thing - Ken Wolstenholme’s commentary in that game. It was at least 10 seconds between his comments which was brilliant. No stupid pundit interruptions either. We were able to watch the game for ourselves and Ken just gave us a bit of help now and again. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

These days you only need to look at a player the wrong way to get a yellow card. Also seems strange to see teams knocking it around the back four and then back to the keeper who then picks the ball up.

Just think what you had to do in the 60’s to get a booking or even sent off.
