Saw Johnny Wakelin and the Kinshasa band at Tiffanys, Great Yarmouth in 1977 and they mimed to "In Zaire" 8 times before taking a break. Saw Judge Dread at the Top Rank in Sheffield miming his way through Big 6, Big 7 and Big 8. Fucking terrible, but I'd rather go through that again than watch Led Zeppelin.

I saw Eddie and the Hotrods and The Members at the Top Rank in 1978.

Cruyff. Pele. Maradona.Eusabio.
I reckon they would more than hold their own at the highest level in todays game.
Class and skill never dates.
Alecarts are just alecarts.

But isn't your argument 'they were better than the shit today/ten years ago/twenty years ago'?

In any case, the argument is invalid. Even during the 80s, the game had moved on so much that the likes of the 70s squad would be in deep shit week in week out. If you're arguing 'would TC have been compatible with today's techniques?' Bit of an empty statement, isn't it? Would Joe Shaw? Billy Foulke?

When Bert saw Led Zeppelin at the City Hall in 1973 Robert Plant said that the last time they'd been in Sheffield him and Bonzo got chased by skinheads. Bert's memory doesn't recall if there was any mention of John Harris and his footballing philosophy.
That's not to say that there wasn't.

Saw David Bowie at Top Rank before he was famous and some time later at the same venue The Rich Kids with a very young Midge Ure. But I'd still prefer to watch Led Zep than Pinchy

I was there too Bert in the balcony with a ticket I forged in a physics lesson. I distinctly recall Page pointing that violin bow at the audience and saying that Harris was God rather than Clapton.

I was there as well. They all wore cardigans in tribute to Gentleman John, if you remember?

Oh, and they were superb...

Well that settles it then, even though Bert's memory forgot about it. End of all arguments.

I saw Elvis Costello at the Top Rank. I also saw Dire Straits at the Students Union. They were third on a bill topped by a Scottish band by the name of Sandy and the Back Line.

I'd prefer to watch Led Zep to me, as well..
 
Anyway, having derailed that thread, back to football...............

I play a character captivated by the beautiful game of football. It's a vibrant world of colour and drama, punctuated by the awesome skills of artists who paint the grassy canvas with their sublime talent.

You Hoofers inhabit an old episode of Coranation Street: Drab and dreary. It's all you know, because you haven't the true spirit of the game in your hearts. So you refuse to look out of the window upstairs; the one that affords a view of a place beyond the end of your yard. A place where they do magic...and you people never see it.

View from my upstairs window is Hallam FC, I'm sure they'll appreciate the compliment - does the steep slope on the pitch help with the magic? can we get a Desso one?
 
I tried watching AC/DC in concert a few weeks back, don't know when it was from but it looked relatively recent. The 'music' got right on me tits to be honest, like fingernails on a fucking blackboard (apologies for any outrage caused by the inherent racism in the word blackboard) and definitely NOT something I'll be listening to again.

One thing I will say though is that bloke in the school uniform playing the guitar was fucking rocks. I was knackered just watching him. Very entertaining, although I must admit to preferring Wilko Johnson strutting his stuff with Dr Feelgood belting such classics as 'Back in the night' and 'Roxette' out.
 
I adore Dr Feelgood and get your point re Wilco.
That said I also love a bit of AC/DC when Angus Young is giving it beans.
I don't get offended on other peoples behalf. There are a few on here have that cornered as full time occupations so your black board,ie board that is black, is cushty with me.

Currie is well over 65 now. He'd struggle these days.
However, if he was 25 and as fit as the rest of the Premier League players are now, he'd be just as exceptional as he was then.

There are some people blessed with natural talent, Currie was one of them , if he was in this era and as medically prepared with todays fitness regimes hed be passing to Bale and Ronaldo in the Bernabeu, no way would we have been able to keep him
 
I saw Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias at the Top Rank.

Their support band was The Police.

I'd rather watch Alberto again than Sting & Co. (Or Led Zepp)

I saw that same tour at North Staffs Poly and retired to the bar after a couple of numbers by the three blond puffs, who were clearly never going to do anything in the pop biz :-)

The Albertos on the other hand were destined for stardom. They did an Ian Dury spoof and had a video clip of him complaining that they were mocking a cripple.
