Same here.....except now I believe I was old enough but just can't remember...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

First bit of football I can remember is the 1970 FA Cup Final replay when Chelsea beat Leeds as my dad was a Leeds fan.

First match I ever watched in full was the 1971 FA Cup Final when Charlie George got the winner for Arsenal v Liverpool.

What an iconic goal and image that was.

Leeds V Sunderland....I think 1974.
Sunderland won 1-0. I was beginning to take to football but had no team as such. But loved John Giles as a player and so was drifting towards Leeds.
Still can't believe they lost that game....

It was 73 Dubs, my mum, dad and brother were gutted whilst my Sunderland relatives Wee delirious! 🤣

Best double save of all time in my opinion by Jim Montgomery! 😎

I can't watch that save again...I am still expecting to see the ball cross the line. Wonderful save, which for obvious reason I just could not appreciate back then...I got distracted with the date by the WC date....or maybe I didn't...fcuk, maybe I am losing it quicker then I thought...

A remarkable second save from a fierce shot just yards from the line....

Second shot was by Peter Lorimer who had the hardest shot in football at the time, as the ball dropped to him there was no way he couldn’t score.

I was lucky enough to be behind that goal along with all the Mackems. The atmosphere was superb all day.

I remember watching the 1970 WC well ... decent England side ...heartbreak against West Germany ... epic 4-3 between Italy and Germany ... and a class Brazil side ... maybe the best side ever ...great tournament with only 16 sides so no meaningless games to churn through ...
