Jimbo Ram Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Been watching every night on ITV 4 at 5.55pm. A real trip down memory lane. The unfashionable kits, long hair, no numbers on the shirts and back passes to the keeper who picked up the ball. The excitement of the FA Cup, almost as important as the League Championship. Stadiums rocking with fans standing up. All interesting stuff. Anyway, the point of the post, linked to this, is players you didn't realise played for other clubs. It must have passed me by that Stan Bowles played for Florist, Terry Yorath for Spurs and our own Archie Gemmill played for Brum. Any other players that you have come across where you didn't realise they played for that team????? TimRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggyram59 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 It's been great to watch The Big Match Revisited on ITV4, where most teams could beat each other, fantastic commentary by Brian Moore one of the best in the game, nice to see that some matches were from 2nd/3rd division as well.

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've been enjoying the programs. Dreadful pitches, flapping comb-overs, not so much obvious diving or trying to trick officials. And getting players into the studio to be interviewed without it being a complete media circus, now looks very quaint ? ziggyram59 and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) The atmosphere of those games was second to none and as been mentioned, crowd standing was part of that. Edited October 10, 2021 by TimRam ziggyram59 and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Was the replay of the 1987 Cup final this evening. Big Oggy, Wally Downes and that big brute Kilcline versus a Tottenham side who run and pass, but flatter to deceive..... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic match, when the FA Cup Final was a major football event, it was great to see Saint and Greavesie at the end, 2 great TV legends. RIP.
