I was watching the Barcelona v Chelsea game the other night and pretty much every player was wearing boots that weren't black, think it was when Alan Ball first wore white boots that they said if your going to wear boots that stand out you need to be a good player so howcome these average players are wearing them.
Anyways it got me thinking about what else I miss about football from years gone by besides players wearing black boots so I came up with a list, only one or two may understand some as a few are from when football was football.
Orange footballs on a snow covered pitch.
Muddy pitches in winter.
Home and Away kits none of this third, fourth and kits for Europe and so on.
Being able to stand up and watch a game.
European Cup.
2 Legs and not leagues.
Replays and not shoot outs and golden goals.
The Pink.
All games kicking off on a Saturday at 3pm.
Springfield Park.
Football Specials - Trains full of fans going to away games.
Gerald Sinstadt, best football commentator.
