About watching football in days gone by?
I was watching some classic 70's and 80's matches on YouTube and suddenly realised what I miss about football today. Yes, there seemed to be more passion and excitement; men were hard and referees too, but the one thing which brought it home to me that I miss?
PLAYERS WEARING 1 - 11 NUMBERED SHIRTS!
Never mind all this squad number crap, players favourite numbers etc etc.
1-11 is the way to go! At least I could then instantly tell which position they were meant to be playing in and, more importantly, if they were playing OUT of position.
I miss that........
