Just found a number of football documentaries on Sky including Denis Law, Howard Kendall, Kenny Dalglish, Arsenal 89. So something to do in tier 4. It’s amazing to see how poor the quality of the pitches were in the 60s 70s and 80s

I remember playing on mudheaps in the 1970s and 1980s. Standing in a freezing snow storm and howling north gale in a mud bath ploughed field somewhere in Lancashire, and an icy puddle that rose above my ankles finally persuaded me there were better things to do with my afternoons.

Wimp.

The Howard Kendall one is excellent. Although not really about Howard Kendall. Great archive and stories.

Back in the day I had mates who followed all manner of teams. One followed Everton and I went over one evening to watch them thrash West Ham 4-1 at Upton Park. That midfield trio of Ball, Harvey and Kendall were wonderful. Decent in defence and with Royle and Jimmy Husband attacking they should really have won much more than a solitary league title

It starts off talking about that era but it’s really focussed on their next great team in the 1980s

It was. Didn't realise at the time he had a bit of a nasty streak in him. I remember the gripping of the shirt cuffs in his fingers though - quite a few kids tried to emulate that.
