The Football Nostalgia Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

In the 70s and early 80s there was only one presenter, jimmy hill etc behind a plain desk and plain wall behind, the analysis was so stilted. wonder when it went down the chat show route possibly with Des Lynam the smooth bastard

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.

Towards the end of the 70s Chinny had Bob Wilson wìth him , just to give you the rest of that Saturday's news not covered by the games they had shown. 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.

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.

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.

 

This...
