One or two of them are only tap ins ultimately but its the team nature of them that's being highlighted I think.

They brought out a video of it which I had as at the time forest were a top side and it was the complete performance. That season and last season are my two favourites as a Liverpool fan. Also that Barnes goal against QPR was unreal.

There would be a few mins delay of scores to come on the tv so radio was best option for up to date. I even remember when there was literally no sport on tv and nobody covering on radio and the only option was 90 mins of ceefax :pac:

5starpool wrote: » While they were still big fees for the day, the thought that we signed players of the quality of Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge for a combined 5.5m or so shows how mad money has become in the game now. Rush to Juve for 3.8m I think earlier that summer was the British record transfer at the time.

If that team was allowed play in Europe, we wouldn't only have the five European Cups, that's how good they were.

Identical to the 3pm edition except on the backpage in lopsided font and inaccurate spellings would be the 40 afternoon football results. People who'd missed the videoprinter results would wait anxiously in the newsagents for this edition to appear.
