Yellowhammer 86 Posted October 26, 2021 You could name almost all of the players who played for the top teams like Man Utd , Arsenal . Leeds, Chelsea ,Liverpool etc . Also we had reserve games at home when the first team played away , I remember Charlie George playing at Carrow road for Arsenal reserves on the way back from injury , I retrieved the ball from the south stand and threw it to him , thanks Mate he shouted . It was a chance for to see some of the stars play close up as played for the reserves ,. Happy days and lots of memories 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that even as a 10 year old, it had a big influence on me. I even got a blue and white scarf on the back of it (I know, I know) I saw the light just a couple of short years later 😃 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy days and lots of memories Is the ability to name them though in large part to squads being much smaller, changing a lot less over time through transfers and far fewer substitutes and substitutions?
