A thread for the summer to look back at the changes in the game over the decades.
A few obvious ones to start:
- teams wore shirt numbers 1 to 11 every game. Subs were number 12.
- there were Cup replays
- teams almost totally consisted of British born players
- only a few supporters sat at games, vast majority stood
- TV didn't dictate kick off times
- The FA Cup Final was the last game of the domestic season.
