Freezing cold communal showers and having your buttocks towel-whipped
And that was just the spectators!

Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
I seem to have missed out when I was a lad. I can't remember having my buttocks whipped or girlfriends as cheerleaders, or some other combination of these things.

Dog turds in the penalty area and broken glass in the six yard box. Glad I wasn't a goalkeeper.

Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
Playing on Lockyer or up Towneley on cold, muddy pitches with an old casey ball, hoping that when you had to head it your forehead didn't come against the laces on the ball. That could really hurt!

“The balls landed at the feet of Duggie Brown but is swiftly passed to Norman Collier. Roy Hudd intercepts and boots the ball over Tommy Cooper’s head. Leonard Sachs has stopped the game and is having words with Ken Dodd for wasting time. The match starts again...”
Ooopsss, looks like I have misunderstood the title.

The smell of cut grass, deep heat, vics and mud in the changing room.

Firey Jack in your undies put there by a red carded team mate. Resulting in an uncomfortable time in the pub afterwards

Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
Slide tackles through lime wash painted lines. OUCH.
Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
So cold you couldn't do your buttons up after a match.
Changing room locked, so change behind them and pile your clothes up.
Wet day, leather ball weighing a ton.
Full size goals and little keeper!
No net, so score and the ball goes miles.
Just in the team and the football shirt is an old adult rugby shirt and is the length of your body.
In the playground, 4 matches 1st to 4th year, in a very small area. 5th years turn up to play...All move down one...first years watch in envy.
Get tripped over in the playground and feel the pain as you scrape the asphalt!
Ball kicked over the fence...whip round for new ball.

Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
To continue Ian's list:
When ball goes over the fence, the one who kicked it over had to go and get it, unless he was 'the tough boy', then he would 'persuade' someone else to go.
When ball goes over the fence, irate householder threatens to put knife in ball but never did.
When ball goes over fence and lands in thorns: attempts later to repair ball by using a knife heated on a gas stove to melt the plastic over the hole - this was the good old Frido ball.

Dogger up the leg of your shorts when making a sliding tackle, that still makes me shudder just remembering it.
Having rip raps thrown through the dressing room window when just out of the shower.

Stoneyholme Junior Schoolyard was the perfect place for football. There were some epic games played in there outside of school hours. 10 change round games every night and all day Saturday and Sunday in the 60s and early 70s

Playing with jeans on because you felt a Burke if you wore shorts.
Getting cows off the pitch so you could start the game.
Running half a mile by a river hoping the ball would come to the edge.
Games starts at 9 in the morning and finished when dark, 30+ on each side coming and going with dinner and tea time breaks.
Standing on the ‘baby line’ and scoring shot 40 goals.

Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
Not football I know but when I was young and foolish I used to fill in for our local rugby team if they were short some weeks as my mate used to play for them.
The club had just started so they hired a field off a local farmer who kept cows on it during the week, suffice to say being at the bottom of a ruck was never, ever a happy time

The Beano character was Ball Boy.
Re: The Good Old Days Playing Football
There was also Alf Tupper, the goal keeper that always had a clean sheet. He used to ride a motor bike with a sidecar made from an old bath.
