Yeah, only in Brazil and Argentina do can you still see those, "bowl" type football stadiums now. Benfica's ground, too. But the all-standing stadiums must have had an unreal atmosphere, more like a gladiatorial arena.
@@Ruda-n4h Oh, of course. I'm in Aberdeen, btw, hopefully we get a great season. Celtic looked superb last night. It will be interesting to see what Arsenal do tonight over in Italy against Atalanta. Olympiakos v Rangers in November will be an amazing game, I'm sure, crazy atmosphere in that stadium.
The mental and physical strength implemented by my father and Jock made this team winners 🏆 💙 WATP
I’m much more interested in the ground than the game. Look at those terraces! Beautiful.

@@GordonCaledonia The last time a crowd of over 100,000 witnessed a football match in the UK.
@@Ruda-n4h Really? That's an amazing factoid! Never heard that one before. Was Hampden downsized after 1973?
@@GordonCaledonia Safety initiatives after the 1971 Ibrox Disaster, prompted a review of Hampden Park and the capacity was reduced to about 85,000.

Amazing to see how many people could fit into Hampden back then
Even more amazing when you were told the ‘official ‘ attendance🧐
122,000 is mental, but there were bigger attendances, up to 149,000 at the old Hampden.
That must have been mental.
Memories of my first Rangers game , the John Greig testimonial.
Amazing atmosphere at these games on the old terraces.
A few days later Celtic travelled down to Leeds to play in ( winning 4-3 ) Jack Charlton's testimonial.
Great day. I was 16 and in the enclosure as Big Tam slotted home the winner.
'Jaws' lives.

Rip big tam
Rumour has it he would sharpen his studs before a match.😂
I was there 👍
Was this during July 1973? If so, I was there too.
Great "Love Festival" indeed! 🏳🌈
Why was Grieg not sent off?
Different rules in those days.
