You're obviously one of these Jonny come lately Premier League era football fans. That's what pitches were like back in the 60's and 70's. ?

I give you the '50s when pitches were just mown fields, usually with a slope so it was best to get your second half playing down hill. ;);)

Yes I remember the worst I ever saw was Derby County.
No grass at all.
That was crackers wasn't it? Every season The Baseball Ground would become a mudbath, it was legendary. I can still picture it now on MotD or Big Match Special. Scandalous how they could get away with it and how far have grounds come since then?

A bloke took 2 stuffed dogs to the Antiques Roadshow.
The presenter said, "This is a very rare set, produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers taxidermists who operated in London at the turn of the last century. Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in good condition?"
"Sticks" the bloke replied.

They had to repaint the spot once, so Gerry Daly could take a penalty
