I agree that when you watch the World Cup Final of 1966 it looks a bit Sunday League, although that said the Brazil side of 1970 look pretty awesome even by today's standards. I think the older generations of footballers get some bad press. I don't think they were any less skilful than today's...

30 years ago that was arguably the best Everton side of all-time: Southall, Stevens, Van den Hauwe, Ratcliffe, Mountfield, Reid, Steven, Sheedy, Bracewell, Gray, Sharp. I fancy after 6 weeks of pre-season they'd comfortably beat the 2015 vintage.
