Quite. The standard of football was so immeasurably sh**e pre 90s that any 2000s footballer was probably better than even our better players from the 70s. Players are fitter now, no question.

I presume that is a joke! Top striker for that division. With him we had 2/3 good seasons in 1969/70 and 70/71 and scored some top goals. Good to see you have a sense of humour!
