Money deffo talks these days in the game of footy, more will deffo have more and win most of the prizes and accolades. Just glad I was around when 20K would buy you a half decent player and Billy Dearden 10K from Chester, what a bargain! Bill Punton cost a bag of balloons from Scunthorpe and scored the winner against the pigs, worth a mountain of gold to me! Even better, the local lads who played for the Blades and cost sweet f,,k all! Badger,Bernard Shaw, Mallender,Richardson,Salmons and ofcourse Alan Woodward, Mick Jones.What would they be worth these days? Others who cost next to nowt, Gil Reece, Trvor Hockey and Eddie Colquoon and God himself, TC! I know I,m an old twat but footy back then was better to watch, simpler to understand and less like The League Of Nations it has become. Modern tactics baffle me with all the passing sideways and back and more importance in defending than attacking with teams like Arsenal intent on passing when shooting is the most obvious choice, to me anyway. A simple game where every player knew their jobs has become more like a game of chess where sometimes players don,t know whether they,re on this earth or Fullers! This game has deffo passed me by with all the ackers lobbed about like confetti with players as thick as a bulls lug, overpaid undertalented being treat like celebrities, if brains was money most of em would be paupers, but sadly that is the way of the World, not who you are but what you have got being the thing that decides status and how they are treated by their peers. Sorry, not for me but as I said I,m an old twat with old fashioned ways and values.
