    Dinosaurs rule. I wouldn't trade those teen memories of the 70s for success nowadays in my 60s. Then it was magical, it was special, nasty pies and cups of tea or bovril on the terraces. Success today would be plastic, stereotyped, every moment pored over in detail on TV. I am not saying I dont want it, but success would just not be the same as it was back then.

    I pity todays schoolkids who now only have today's moneyball to watch.

    Agreed, the feeling of those days is never coming back, although as I've said before, one day someone will market '70s Football' to the masses, with its mudbath pitches, bloodbath games and no pundits on the aftershow.
