How football has changed in the last 50 years

Found this article very interesting, if not unsurprising. What with sports psychology, diet and improved physical fitness regimes it shows that comparison, often made between players of different eras, cannot reasonably be made.

However, given Malcolm Macdonald’s sprint performance in the TV programme “Superstars”, in the 70’s I think our star player of that period could compete with the fastest players of today on that metric.

So do you think this cup winning side would beat your side.
Should hope so we're all 50 or over

Every day is a school day if you are prepared to accept it

WUM Extraordinaire

Hence my often comment that as good as Frenches goal may seem it was against donkeys with a slow ball and a slower pitch .

Steve McNulty would have thrashed Macdonald in the 100 metres*

outlaws is not the barometer of sanity. You're either Luton full tilt or you are nothing. We have spunked way too much money on shite. The end.

The players are apparently so much fitter and faster but 8 over 40's are playing in the WC in extreme heat.(albeit 5 are goalies)
Is that because of fitness and diet or is it players with brilliant technique can always compete because they don't have to chase around all over the pitch

Plus the Brazilian goal was at high altitude.
