July 23, 20195 yr I'd forgotten that shorts used to be called knickers. I guess the article is talking about shorts!

It has changed considerably over the years. My Grand-Father was at Hampden for a Scotland v England match when there was 150,000 in the ground and to think it now holds 52,000.
July 29, 20195 yr Coventry City celebrate scoring against Spuds. 1987 FA Cup Final at Wembley. Coventry won 3-2

Agreed, the roof covering the west terracing was not long built when this picture was taken.
July 29, 20195 yr A few hard cases here. Team is based not far from where I live and is the oldest football team in London. Founded in about 1860.

Was at Hampden in 1989 for the Scottish Cup Final between Rangers and Celtic. I went with an uncle and cousin. Sadly, Rangers lost 1-0. If I remember correctly, Ray Wilkins was injured so couldn't play. The attendance was 72,000. I was there again in 1992 when Rangers beat Aidrie 2-1 and the attendance was 44,000. Shows how much had changed in three years. There is talk of the capacity of Ibrox being increased so Hampden could end up as being the third largest ground in Glasgow.
August 3, 20195 yr Olympic Football 1908 style at The White City It's capacity was I believe 100,000.
August 5, 20195 yr The above photo was taken at Craven Cottage in Sept 65. To be fair it could have been taken at any football ground, until the building of all seated stadium and could still be taken at many non Premiership Grounds.
August 7, 20195 yr The introduction of all seated stadiums has made a difference to the comfort of the football supporter. Helps if they put a roof on though !

Strange to think that one year we had snow in June and the following year we had a very hot summer. 1976 was so hot that the Labour Government of the time appointed a Minister of Drought as there was a severe shortage of water.
August 9, 20195 yr Possibly the most talented British footballer I've seen. So sad that he died at the young age of 39.

August 12, 20195 yr Graeme Souness, Ray Wilkins and Trevor Francis. Before AC Milan v Sampdoria, in 1984 I think.
