A 2-3-5 formation! So two defenders and 5 attackers. 

Now that I’d like to see. Why does no one play that formation anymore? That’s how you end up with 9 goals a game. 

This is from 1946, but it was still fairly common into the 1960s.

Ah yes I remember it well. The chaps from Derbyshire County were well on top form that day despite the earlier goals from the Bolton. "You chaps from the Wanderers are utter cads!" we all cried until a constable told us to "watch our language". One of my chums blew a raspberry of the highest order when he turned his back! We did chuckle. A splendid day out for us all and we celebrated with a few tankards of ale at the local inn.

Oh I think you’ll find in the 19th century they were all bobbies?
