only 5 subs unless its pompey at home
:D
I’m old enough to remember when there were no subs at all.
And then when they were introduced (one sub) they could only be used as a replacement for an injured player. So players were told to pretend to be injured so a substitution could be made.
Goalkeepers wearing the same coloured shorts and socks as the rest of the team
Goalkeepers with no gloves on
One goalkeeper in a green shirt, one in a yellow shirt
Players on the pitch wearing tracksuit bottoms with shorts over the top
An entire team in black boots
Players with comb-overs
Players with socks rolled down
Managers in sheepskin jackets
Someone walking round the touchline displaying a lucky winning ticket number displayed on a blackboard
Hipflasks
Spectators shuffling along the terraces depending on which end they’re attacking
Children sat on shoulders
I know you can’t see it, but how about the smell of Wintergreen.
Players running out of the tunnel bouncing a ball.
Players with beards.
Wooden, and square goalposts.
Not seen a bloke with a ‘The End is Nigh’ banner outside for a while either.Young lads (and lasses for all I know) tactically waiting ten mins after the game has started and then banging on the turnstiles in order to be let in to see the game for free. This used to happen at Springfield Park. im not so sure if it would cut much ice at the DW.
This reminds me of how tight we must have been as it was only a pound and half to get on.
Seldom see them in the West Stand James, as we are all law abiding citizens in there.That means nothing if that film is anything to go by.
One goalkeeper in a green shirt, one in a yellow shirt
Yellow jerseys for keepers were only used in internationals.
For Football League only green, blue, red or white were allowed.
Most keepers wore green, and usually both keepers wore that. There was no need perceived to have different jerseys – none of this “going up for a corner” nonsense.
One other colour related thing though was occasionally for the rare TV game teams one team having to change because they would clash on black and white TV – eg 1963 Cup Final Leicester wore white because their blue and Man U’s red would be indistinguishable on black and white TV.
Seldom see them in the West Stand James, as we are all law abiding citizens in there.In honesty it is my mates who don’t go to many matches that take them… Who get the 3 for £30 tickets etc… Can’t beat a good whisk at the match on a cold day/night though ;)
Yellow jerseys for keepers were only used in internationals.I did not know that, so thank you sir! I always remember Joe Corrigan in a yellow shirt, which in hindsight, must have been during his few England appearances.
Everyday my education is further enhanced by this forum.
Half time scoreboard, with letters for each match corresponding to a fixture list printed in the programme.
Tried to google a picture but couldn’t find one. I remember OT and Burnden having one. Shamefully,I can’t remember whether springy did or not.
Ankle deep pee in the bogs and Bickymon :lol:

Do you know I tried to Google exactly that the other night – without success :(
I don’t think Springy did.
