They don't play games like this anymore

Same as IanM this is the 1st Final that I remember too.

What was interesting was that the tackles were worse than you get today, but most of those the players fouled just got straight up and remonstrated the player who fouled them instead of rolling around and playing dead.

Also only one substitute was allowed, before 1967 there were no subs and injured players used to hobble around if they could

It's gone full circle now. You see players feigning injuries all the time. It's absolutely pathetic when you see said players rolling over and over as if rolling down a hill. But the worst, when they franticly wave their arm or even worse when they slam the ground with their hands. Then all of a sudden get back up and carry on. Absolute cheats, all of 'em!

It's changed for the better imo. It's thuggery and shortened many careers. Football is better for the rules being tightened on this front.

I think it has gone too far the other way though. IMO, the late 90s to mid 00s had the perfect balance.
