Football Quirks, Habits and Fashions come and go inevitably as time passes, whatever happened to;
Goalkeeper’s Caps
Manager’s Sheepskin Coats
Linesmen checking the studs of an oncoming substitute for no explainable reason
Sure there are many more insignificant football related strange-hoods that you no longer see?……..🤔

Old style football nets. Goals seemed to look so much better when scored in these. Bring them back!  |

The only other thing I remember about that programme is a kid saying Howard Wilkinson should get manager of the year. "after all, he sold Cantona to Man Utd for 1 million" |

Most games on a saturday finishing between 4.45 and 4.50. And the dulcet tones of James Alexander Gordon reading out the football scores. |

Linesmen giving a penalty by holding their flag across their chest.
A stray dog getting on the pitch and chasing the ball. Not seen one of those for years!

The magic sponge. After a particularly agricultural tackle which must surely result in hospitalization, on runs the physio with a bucket and aforementioned sponge. Hey presto, the player is up and running again seconds later.

Players immediately walking off at the final whistle like they had somewhere urgent to go, regardless of the result.
No applauding the fans, waving, chucking shirts at kids or laps of honour, etc
Just walking straight off, shaking hands with whichever opponent happened to be near you.

They did and it involved Was at York Races yesterday with a couple of Town Fan Mates who were recalling Micky Kennedy and after matches they had walked up Leeds Road to Olde Hatte Pub in Town and Micky (having played in the game they had been watching) was in The Pub before them! He wasn’t one for Players Lounge / Sponsors and preferred to be amongst fans with a few pints! |

...Having the Australian football results in all the national newspapers every summer And on the Summer Football Pools Coupon! Football Pools Man coming to the house every Thursday night and my Dad allowing me to do one line out of the three he did in total. Never did get that big win but dreamt of getting the 8 from 10 score draws every weekend. |
