Anyone else been watching The Big Match Revisited on Sky ? Ive been addicted to it recently and even encourage my football playing son to watch and take note of the proper footballers playing a proper game . I am of an age where i remember these matches from the late seventies onwards , in fact the 1975 FA Cup Final was the first game i actually remember getting excited about . It really does show todays chumps up to be the prima dona they really are . Hard men in those days playing the beautiful game in the manner it should be played , big crowds huddled together singing and chanting and the only live matches were England games and the big FA Cup Final . Match of the day on a saturday night with Jimmy Hill and The Big Match on sunday afternoons with Brian Moore . Wow what a trip down nostalgia lane .
Football , isn't it ? young boys in cotton shorts ...................

'75 final was the 1st thing I remember watching in colour, children! We went next door to watch they television, as ours was still a black and white one!!
None of that fancy choice between LCD, PLasma, Hi Def, 3-D, sky plus and all that. Just the 3 channels and a straight fight between ITV and BBC to watch the Final.
Jumpers for goalposts....!
