It was a fantastic side, but they would still get ran off the pitch in the modern game. They would hardly see the ball! Modern footballers are like fine tuned robots, pushed to their physical limits.

Dont get me wrong, if they had modern tactics, training and fitness regimes Im sure they would be fine, or at least it would separate the men from the boys….but then they would get injured more often and need to be rotated and subbed - and therein lies my point!
