Lol @ grasscarp.

If it aint broke dont fix it, 50 years old and getting worse with terrible, boring pundits...

[grasscarp]

Sorry

[tonyav]

I liked it really, grasscarp.

[Jeza]

I saw the very first one. Dad came back from the pub to watch it, being a youngster I went to bed.

[tonyav]

You have a good memory, Jeza. I can't remember if I saw the first one.

Boring party without the adorable Alan Hanson. I used to gallop at David Coleman when he jogged around our fields.....cheeky boooker ;)

[agchristie]

Tamborine - remarkable!

[bibblebub]

[tonyav]

Thanks for the heads up, bibblebub.

You should have charged him, tambo.

I was nearly 14 Tony. What 14 year old girl was interested in football back in 64.

[tonyav]

There must have been some somewhere, Jeza. Can't say that I knew many though, knew some that were interested in the footballers though !.

[Jeza]

Here's a tale of the world cup final in 66. Dad was having his mates round for beer and sarnies. He said you are going out aren't you. Nope said I no money. He said I'll lend you 10 bob. Nope I said again I can't afford to pay it back. He gave me the 10 bob note. As I turned away Mum mouthed you little cow. Yes I said you taught me well.

[tonyav]

LOL, crafty mare, Jeza.

[agchristie]

Did you know the technology wasnt top notch on the first edition? A Liverpool player is seen taking a throw in to himself! I believe it was Roger Hunt.

[tonyav]

Did he throw it and then kick it ?.
