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.
Laurie Cunningham or Willie Johnston compared to players like Wallace! Wallace would not be fit to lace their boots! Players like Regis or Phillips rarely missed then you have highly paid crocs now like Dike and Maja who would trip over a water bottle.

Come on Matt be realistic! Yes players in the modern game need pace but our midfield and Campbell are slower than the slow boat to China. Oh for a Jonny Giles or even in later years a Mulumbu or Yacob who you can?t compare in the same breathe to Mowatt or Molumby.
