All those 'Back passes' to the goalkeeper in the days when he could pick up the ball when it was passed back to him.

I think it may have been The London Standard back then. I recall the 'Evening Standard' and I think the one on Saturday with the scores was the 'Evening Standard' classified edition but it is so long ago and I could be wrong.Also heard of the 'Standard'. Memory not as good as it was ! In Manchester a similar paper with results was known as the 'Pink' and the green paper in Sheffield was the 'Green un'. Edited by Willo (19 Feb 2017 11.52pm)

'Partick Thistle' - where Alan Hansen started before joining Liverpool. I recall having a nice chat with him and Steve Nicol in the Executive Bar at 'Selhurst Park' where players used to come to after a game.

Another memory from my childhood is walking up to the ground and seeing either a BBC lorry or an LWT one. It seems like nothing now in these days of wall to wall TV coverage but back then it was almost magical. I make you right there, it's amazing all the football on TV now compared to how little we had as kids,I bet the youngsters now would find it hard to believe how little there was on back then.

Yes, none of all these 'Live' games we see today. Had to avail of the radio for 'Live' commentary.And watching the FA Cup Final whilst adjusting the TV aerial on top of the TV to get a better reception - I recall 'Round' aerials and 'V-shaped' ones.

I have just been informed that our former imposing centre-half 'Roger Hynd' died at the weekend at the age of 75. RIP.
