Buxtongent Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 What a night Travelled down from S.Shields especially for it. Despite the who-ha with Tony kay and his opposite number, there was some ecellent football, and a superb hat-trick from Gerry Young, a man I was later to become friendly with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The first time I’d ever seen proper ‘ foreign ‘ players. Back in those days you were foreign if you were called McTavish 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Will we ever see teams like Roma again at Hillsborough in competitive games. I hope so but I am in my 40's now and the last one I saw was Kaiserslautern and that was 26 years ago. I hope we get our act together and get back into the top flight and fighting for European football again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could shoot. They could pass to shirts of the same colour. All attributes that have left our game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the sheer joy of going to a game without all the circus and theatre that surrounds the modern football. Its a simple bloody game after all. Nobody can tell me it wasnt a better game when it was 2 full backs, 2 halfbacks, a centre half , 2 wingers, 2 inside forwards and a centre forward. It all changed around 66 and the game as it was before that was lost forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly more watchable and a far more honest game,far more open and entertaining,untill we started playing in europe,English sides employed more european type tactics,reference Don Revie and his constant trips to watch madrid and their tactics were employed by leeds in the 60s,he called proffesional,we called them cheats,these days its rife in english football. I barely watch europa or champions league these days,but back in the 60s/70s you wouldnt miss it,if only to see the antics of the euro sides,diving,spitting,time wasting,getting opponents sent off,it was pure drama and the european sides were the queens of drama. These days its hard to seperate them,at least we played hard english style football back in the day,these days both sides just fanny about its totally unwatchable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried harder and spent more energy running down the tunnel for the kick off than some of our so called mid-fielders spend in ninety minutes.

Lincs Owl Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Didn't realize Roma were cup holders. And can't remember it being a dirty match. 35,000 there I believe. I remember we lost 1-0 in the 2nd leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
