A beautiful place.

When games were only broadcast on the radio commentators would refer to players being in squares and listeners could follow movements.

The expression: "Back to square one" comes from the plan.

Johan Cruyff Ajax.

 

One of the greats AND what a great Ball!

My first leather football was probably my all-time favourite Christmas present - in 1970, with the black & white panels just like that one.

Bring Back Proper Footballs!!

Agree with you about Bringing Back Proper Footballs.

The first one I remember is the black and white one shown in the Cruyff picture.

It was watching  the 1974 World Cup that really got me into football.

Agreed, gave Scotland supporters,what two minutes of real hope, until Jonny Rep hit one in from about 25 yards to make it 3-2.

Top photo. Possibly early 1920s.

Bottom Photo. Late 1960s -1974.   Don’t think Hampden was ever that full after 1974.
Well apart  from  the 1976 Scottish Cup Final.
