I loved watching that too Dave - cheers for posting - I was at that game too.
The pitches and the agricultural tackling now look completely shocking, and it
does make you realise just how brilliant players like Eddie Gray, Best (spit),
Marsh etc were to still dazzle on pitches where wellies would have been more
suitable and where knee high hacks were the norm!
Of course the atmosphere was a million times better, it was cheaper to get in,
you could pay on the day, and was THE most important thing in all our lives in
those days. All that said, it seems archaic and the mentality of players,
police, fans and 'society' in the 70s in particular seems utterly incredible
doesn't it? A different era thank god!

I sent it to an old school City fan mate of mine and got this back
"Brilliant mate proper fans, players and coppers love the line “Now move and
alle bloody thump ya ! “ imagine the players we have now playing on that pitch
and the tackles ha haa made my day cheers mate . We knew how to have a good day
out back then"
It really does show how much football has changed both on and off the pitch.
Imagine 97 arrests at a game today, the police would not view it as a
'successful day and the norm' it would be in all the papers and all over TV etc
as if the world was coming to an end.
A couple of those tackles would be straight red today and the 'victim' would
still be rolling around the floor
Real nostalgia for those of us of a certain age

These are brilliant if you not seen them Here is the latest one - kudos to

of the pitch etc - better with sound so can hear the police bits Us v Man City
