Football's become a much less physical game than it once was, I know that much - players like Ron Harris, Nobby Stiles and Norman Hunter would probably get sent off every week under today's regulations. |
Good watch, just showed how close we were.
The thing is, it's only gonna get worse. Players who are 16 coming through now, when they grew up playing football (2006-2007 12/13 years of age) they grew up watching players who simulate. They're gonna be like who they grew up watching, 'ard footballers like Keano and Palacios are a dying breed.
