This is a history that should never be forgotten.

Dan great memories mate Gerry was a fantastic player also John Harris Steve Goodwin
Gerry John and Steve should have made it in my playing days in football great players.
Gerry was hard but so skillful in the game
John was like Bobby Moore
Steve well so skillfully with his left foot
Could name others Bobby Owen what a player he was.

Do you remember muddy pitches, not like today pitches

[Dan]

Nothing that the groundsmen's forks couldn't sort out Bob.

1928 Baseball Ground. Derby v Nottingham Forest.



Wembley had its problems too, for a while.

1970 Final. Leeds Chelsea. Football poetry. Can see where the term "referee's boots" came from. White laces??

[bob. b]

Look
at the pitch Dan
Today fantastic grass and lighter ball
Billy was a great player hard player like some of the lads in the JOC got stuck in.

[bob. b]

Dan remember the groundsmen at the pleasure before the games mate

[bob. b]

Remember my first boots from Timspons in Bootle in the JOC and then Jack Sharpes in town

[bob. b]

Look at that picture know shin pads in them days

Remember playing at Wembley the ref checking me for Shin pads had no shin pads
you are not going on left them in my kit bag.
well the old school said put a paper in your sock got away with it happy days From Bootle

Before I get back to the JOC, a picture that shows how football used to be played. From The League Magazine twitter feed.

January 12 1929. FA Cup 3rd Round. Chelsea 2 Everton 0

Bill Dean challenging the Chelsea keeper Sam Millington. It's possible the goalie had the ball in his hands before contact.

File under "Charging the Keeper".

[bob. b]

That could be the JOC early days Dan

[bob. b]

That could be Ernie and Billy Knowles
