As a youngster I remember watching Norman 'bites yer legs' Hunter and being told (probably tall) tales about the legendary Skinner Normanton. I'm not sure that either of those gentlemen would have lasted 30 seconds on the pitch today.

Different game for sure, but still they do fall over for nothing today. I'm a grumpy old git. Players like Greaves and Best had the talent to cope with proper hard tacklers. They'd be more professional and fitter today (especially if they laid off the sauce), I think they'd cope fine. I'm going to get my cup of cocoa and write a letter to points of view.
