    It was in colour watching it live but highlights on TV would have been in black and white

    Football was better in many ways in those days, people supported their local teams and players had a connection with the fans
    The grounds were crap, the pitches were unplayable and the football compared to today was dire, but we enjoyed it more

    Absolutely agree. I've fallen out of love with the modern game.

    Even in the lower leagues?

    I like it. More diehard, more English players and managers.

    The prem maybe.

    Watford 3 Leicester 1 2013 play off semi-final with that goal by Deeney
    The following season the powers that be showed that goal before our game with Leicester and all Watford supporters looked at each other and said "that's their prematch team tat sorted"
    We lost 3-0 and nosedived and Leicester won promotion

    0 - 5 at Woodison in 82 with Rushie scoring 4 was fun, and I've been to three European Cup finals. However, the most incredible experience I've ever had as a Liverpool supporter was at Anfield in the quarter final second leg of the European Cup against St Etienne in 77. I've never heard a volume generated like that anywhere before or since. It was louder than a Saturn 5 rocket launching. Quite ****ing incredible and absolutely unforgettable <ok>

    Scraping a 1-0 win against nine man Chelsea with JT racially abusing Anton Ferdinand and every Chelsea fan windmilling afterwards insisting he said “blind ****” was a good one.

    I have a habit of missing our rare memorable games like coming from behind to beat Pool 3-2, a 4-4 draw at Port Vale from being 4 down etc.

    Best game for me was December 1997 at the old White Hart Lane.
    Score was Tottenham 1-6 Chelsea
    1-1 at half time, second half was some of the best I have ever seen Chelsea play

    there were highlights of a Gillingham game shown on TV in 1969?
    I find that difficult to believe.

    Best game, that's impossible to answer.

    So many.

    But they will all be away day.

    Forest, W Ham, Derby, Milwall, Mags.etc

    It's usually about the whole day not the match.

    Watched Huddersfield v Southampton in 2011 I think

    That was memorable because that’s the day I realised you just need luck to be a footballer I think

    Was there for Newcastle beating Juve 1-0, memorable for Andy Griffin scoring past Buffon.

    Wasn't there but I remember recording us beating Barca 3-2 in 98 as a kid. Watched that endlessly whilst we drifted into obscurity.
