what age are you Clive by the way?
None of your business
But one thing I will say. I saw Ron Harris live a good few times and I saw Ashley cole
The difference between the two players? Massive. Athleticism skill speed. Different world.
If there is one area of football that has improved more than any other over past few decades its the ability of full backs. The "kicking in the air" thing is wildly overplayed too.
The skilful forwards of today have it much harder than back then. I am sure of that
:lol: re age
the kicking up in air happened loads..have a look at the 1968 european cup final...see how talented feared players were treated
watch a few revie's leeds games
i went to games in the 60's ..i don't think you did
Yes, Giles, Bremner and Hunter were dirty bastards.
Col just named 3...in one team
first ever game i went to was in 1967..Forest v Man U..Best spent most of the game on the floor.
i remember from 69/70 period Leeds & Chelsea had some right games..very tasty stuff re tackling.
shall i throw in the surfaces they played on in those days yet Col?:)
Shall I throw in the fact that hunter was so slow that it took him all of half time to walk off the pitch? And the fact that he had the turning circle of an oil tanker?
And that mistake against Poland which wouldn't have been excused in the conference these days?
Messi and Ronaldo? Kick in the air? If he ever got within 20 yards of them
i remember Peter Lorimer. not one of the all time greats, but with an incredible fast shot. we admired him as boys.
Pele. No further word necessary

Hard to argue with Germany winning the WC more of a team than most other countries maybe Columbia aside.
The final was a decent game and Argentina had their chances to win, I thought Messi did ok certainly not as bad as some of the papers made out but overall he disappointed from the knock out stages onwards.
Messi winning the Golden ball was balls and even he knew it, embarrassed for him but that is FIFA for you.
Still wake up having nightmares about that Higuain miss!
