Half of them smoked and sank 20 pints a week. They wouldnt even get near to a modern football side. They would lump it forward and wouldnt see it again until they had to kick off from the centre circle.

Tactics were 4 on 4 going forward with a couple of midfield runners for about 80 years. It looked like a load of fun but it aint comparable to modern tactics.
