http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=94353070&postcount=3868 .... seeing the likes of Totti and Cantona when they were just starting out was pretty interesting
So feel free to post pictures and videos of players and famous moments in times gone by.

Surely you haven't forgotten giggs already?
Brazilian boner bringer Pele might be a tad annoyed too.
As long as there's been football, there's been wonder kids0 -

A time when health and safety wasn't paramount:
The School End at Dalymount Park.
Glenmalure Park, Milltown.
Not exactly decades ago (just the one), but the old Shed End of Turners Cross. The last terraced area of the ground. Hard to believe that this will be the tenth season since it was knocked:

When i was a wee nipper I had never seen a black man (im clearly older than all of you).
When me da used to bring me I was amazed that we had a black man playing, to me he was the best player on the pitch and it wasnt even close. Touch, control, vision he had everything. He was un ****ing real.
Abuse he got was disgusting kinda set me in my ways of "you cant hate someone you dont know" type of thing.
Anyhoo I was there when that photo was taken and Paul Mc Grath is my fcukin hero and I have that jersey he wore that day

A lot more modern than the 80s, but it was kinda the same in the 00s (minus that level of abuse you mentioned) when City signed Michael Nwankwo. Always thought that the kinda players with the fancy celebrations would be a bit too exotic for the League of Ireland and were the preserve of the big money teams. It was the same kinda reaction when you were young and heard a Brazilian was on trial with your team. You always thought, solely because of his nationality, that he was going to be like Pele or Ronaldo.
Nwankwo wasn't long with City, but he'll always be a cult hero for this celebration (against Pats, actually):

This just fueled my love of the game...
Every year these adorned my bedroom wall... the real life League 'app'
Playing out in the road with one of these:
hours and hours of playing against my mates on this:
I just lived for football when younger.
Still do, but too much 'life' stuff takes priority now!0
