They didn't even have to wear shin pads. Or boots What you doing in the football section? Did early 70's come up on your feed, and you were ready to get some Ted Heath bashing underway?

Anag Ram Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I played in a team of young lads when I was in my late thirties and I couldn’t believe the litany of injuries I heard them talking about. Quads had gone, anterior this, posterior that. I wonder if gym work tightens the muscles and ligaments too much these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a season where everything clicked and everyone stayed fit, but I can't remember it. ‘Everything clicked’…… that’s ominous. Sounds more like me at 58 when I get off the sofa….

Perhaps if McGoldrick had been available during Rosenior’s tenure we would have got to the playoffs 1971/72 would be my go. Suspect we only used 15 players that season. Of course that was before ACLs and metatarsals were a thing. 14 players used in 71/72. Metatarsals weren't a thing because players wore proper boots rather than carpet slippers which offer no protection whatsoever. ACL? IIRC it was exactly that injury that ended Brian Clough's playing career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
