Back when football coverage was regional , the big match was broadcast in the London area . Where I grew up we had Star Soccer after a Sunday roast around 2pm which covered Midlands teams as the main game and showed as in this episode the Palace game quick highlights , Leeds too .
Nostalgia moment 101...anyone remember bubblegum with football cards around this time? I seem to remember a main player picture on the front like say Kenny Hibbett of Wolves and then on the back was random football trivia and laws of the game.
We,Pompey, won League One recently as champions (2024) but the authorities fined the club for a pitch invasion when the fans knew we secured promotion. It was pure joy,no trouble was looking to be caused. The 80s are over and fans are different now.
love this retro stuff..big Alan Ball fan..so a nice bonus

Pitch invasions so regularly occuring at the end of games. What a fuss is made of it now.

How embarrassing that the ref took a ball to the balls in front of thousands of tv viewers.
Nope, it hit him on the temple.
