Paully Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Some great stuff! 90 Minutes weekly magazine - the cartoonist was superb! It was far better than Match and Shoot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Watching the football league goals on ITV on a Sunday morning. None of this analysis, emails and texts bullshit, just Matt Smith doing a few links at a random ground and as much time as possible showing footage. One of the few things ITV ever did right with football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Saint & Greavsie. Roy of the Rovers. Melchester Rovers signed a kit deal with Nike when I was a kid and you send off postal orders to buy a shirt. Sadly this was during Thatchers reign, doubt there was too many shirts sold north of Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember ITV getting the Saturday night spot for a couple of years circa 81-82 time.? MOTD just stopped until the Beeb won it back. And a year or so later we saw the first live League games sometimes a Friday night mainly Sunday afternoon, split between the two main channels. IIRC Spurs vs Forest was the first one ever and Spurs won 2-1 after going a goal behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I can remember the BBC losing the rights to show highlights on a Saturday night, probably around 1985. And for a whole season the only thing that they could afford was basketball. So we had an hour's round up of what was happening in the NBA. No fucker in Britain had even heard of the NBA. I still watch basketball to this day and that's what got me into into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Footy magazines.... Shoot, World Soccer, Match etc. USA '94 my first football tournament and for me still the best WC I've seen. Random players signing for big clubs like Chris Kiwomya. The Dell Wimbledon Ravanelli, Juninho and Emerson at the Cellnet Riverside Stadium - them being a mad ambitious club that went to two finals and went down along with the mackems with us qualifying for the CL by beating Forest 5-0. Such a great afternoon. AC Milan the team of the early 90s - I remember them destroying Barca 4-0, European Cup.
