That footage from 1952 shows how "soft" football, the authorities and health and safety has become.
That pitch was treacherous, but they played the game regardless.
It was a lottery, but that made it all the more ridiculously thrilling
The surrounding streets would have also been treacherous, but the crowds turned up regardless - though I guess we'll never know how many took a tumble on the way and ended up in casualty.
Simply heading a ball in those days all but guaranteed concussion.
The ball was built like a cannonball and weighed a ton.
Changed times indeed.

Look at the crowd, where were the rest of those “fuds” for the return fixture on Saturday just passed?
