proper football

6'' of mud didnt stop the skills of hudson, salmons, greenhoff and co from entertaining the fans
cant see todays overpaid so called superstars coping with pitches like that, or even bothering to give it a go
alan hudson's midfield artistry didnt seem to mind what condition the pitch was in, and stoke fans used to sing ''alan hudson walks on water''
i never saw him actually walk on water, but i saw him glide over 6'' of mud often enough

It is a different game altogether

They dont possess the specialised muscle/fitness these days. They'd pull a hamstring or tweak a groin within minutes.
I miss those days of churned up pitches at xmas time.

Good lord we have better pitches in the pup league
