Never seen this before

[Southshoresteve]

Not Blackpool related but amazing to see how soft todays players are in comparison

 

[20togo]

Gordon McQueen having a go af his own keeper. Not many would be left on the pitch with how the game is played today.

 

[clappers]

It was a man’s game back then…a moustache was like a beware of the dog sign.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

At least none of the players got injured because, if they had, they'd have been rolling around on the pitch clutching their faces...no?

 

[Lost Seasider]

None of it looked that bad to me (maybe one or two), the difference is that diving pays off these days.

 

[Meliora]

Sir Jim smoking his pipe in the dugout. How cool is that?

 

[Kingscoatkiwi]

Wow,where do you start?
umbro v admiral
no gloves for the keepers
sliding tackles
trailing elbows
sneeky stamps
being clattered from behind ( ooh er mrs)
two footed challenges
hacking down the same player for the third time getting up with both hands up to the reff saying unintended and still not being booked
then there’s the fans
how on earth did they manage to run in those flairs?
there was one supporter being marched off by a guy using his scarf as some sort of ligature
one guy was spark out an a couple of plodds just grabbed his arms and dragged him off
the headmaster sorry the reff laying down the law to the crowd
the list goes on and on
well if that’s what football was like in seventies am gonna start saving up for a DeLorean
double reem
p.s I’ll pass on the kecks

A different world where if you looked like this you could pull decent birds whilst masquerading as a handyman…

Yes that was what football was like in the seventies but believe me you don't want to be there (unless it's watching Micky Walsh score the goal of the season against Sunderland or us taking apart a hung over West Ham side in the cup)

 

[Old_Laytonian]

They were known as dirty Leeds but most teams knew how to handle themselves and strikers always "left a foot in"

 

[traffordtang]

Bet there still wasn’t as many injuries as we had last season

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

 

[Wizaard]

Remember it well. The scuffle between Harvey and McQueen made all the headlines as well as the pitch invasion.

 

[bleach51]

Now that’s the way to take a penalty….I hate this stutter feint god knows what approach….unless it’s Wes at Preston of course

 

[Davepick]

I can't believe how soft the Referee was.
In todays matches that match would have stopped because each team should have had at least 3/4 players sent off.
Never seen such a lenient Ref.
