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....!

Yeah, but was there alcohol involved somewhere along the line to make that happen?
Not sure when it's on. i've seen some of the stuff on ESPN Classic, which is pretty good, too. They've had some of the old stuff on there. ITV4 has some Big Match programmes here in England...
