Cheers.

the 90 s; the decade I became a man; the 90 s world cup was my first tourney I watched on telly; maradona was the only highlight from boring italia 90; the next week i embraced football, began to play for my primary school; would have been a decent player by all accounts but my mama told me concentrate on school; see how that turned out now;
my first kid is going to play for united someday;i still got the genes in me, the players of the 90s were tough and elegant; did not see much diving around; maybe there was. usa 94; best world cup for me; baggio missing the penalty; france 98 was rooting fro brazil; from then onwards I watched football without emotions; just for the entertainment. I think age and other life important issues keeps football in perspective

Wow a Spurs fan older than me! I thought it would have been the sixties for you too if you were around then. First team to do the double, Blanchflower ( did you know his brother played for us, first team too, but never the same after Munich) Mckay, Jones, White, Smith & Dyson.

Early 90s, 90s for whole decade. Losing out to Leeds only to win the first season of the new improved league with lightning fast wingers. Seeing the United player's faces as they were handed these crappy little miniature trophies instead of the winners medals most had waited their whole career for.
Seeing all the teams that would become huge rivals clumped round mid table was a nice touch too. Then you had United continuing to dominate, football coming home and England actually having a chance in a tournament.

2000s - stop living in the past man

England won the world cup on my 21st birthday

---------------------------------------------

Fack me must have been the greatest day of your life

Molyneux

Molineux

Best decade for me was 70s. Even though there was a lot of agro at footie grounds, Wolves were mostly in the top flight and we won the League Cup in 74.
We regularly played in the UEFA cup and I remember some memorable night matches at Mol.
Went to most away grounds at the time although a lot have now changed.

Happy Days!

I wasn't alive but 1965-1972.

7 different teams won the league title. England won the World Cup. British teams won their first European trophies. Brazil 1970 etc etc.

That time had everything going for it, and hooliganism hadn't been invented yet.

7 different FA Cup winner too in that time and the European Cup was spread out as well as Real had stopped dominating and Ajax and Bayern were only just getting great at the end of the period.

Sentimentalism is nice but overrated.

You won't know where you're going if you don't know where you're been W&R

60s for me any day, I was lucky to see Spurs win the double, first team to win a European Trophy, be at Wembley to watch England win the World Cup when I was 18. See the greatest club side of all time Real Madrdid win the European Cup in 1960, see true greats like Best, Law, Greaves, Moore, Charlton, Blanchflower, Jones, etc.

Easily the best decade for watching British football.

Yes Superb it just about was/ Watched the match at my girlfriends, then we went to my house and unbeknown to me my mum had arranged a little party with REAL champagne. You can laugh now but in working class homes nobody had it then,

Wayne and Robin. Sir Robert Perry says "Louis Saha is as good as Thierry Henry"

Sentimentalism is nice but overrated.




Why? The OP is has seen some of the greatest teams and players of all time, and you are poo pooing him. Not very clever.

Just remebered it was Alex Lindsey at left fullback. Really sweet left foot.

I remember Chris Lawler and Gerry Byrne they were the Liverpool ful-backs when Liverpool were promoted in 62/63 I think.

Sorry Cyp re spelling. I went to a night match and we were two down by the time we got there, but won in the end, four or five, can't remember.
I had a girl friend from Brownhills so went to the area often visiting relatives.

80's for me without a shadow of a doubt, I was born in 1977, I remember players like Craig Johnson, Jim Beglin, Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson, Steve Nicol,Bruce Grobbelaar,Jan Molby, then later on, John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, Ray Hougton, JohnAldridge,Steve Staunton,Ronnie Whealan, Mexico 86 was just pur magic, who will forget the hand of GOD, Liverpool doing the double in 87, then winning the league unbeaten in 88, awesome times.

1970's

Had 5 season tickets and went to many grounds - wasn't unusual for Wolves to take 5,000 away. Took 15,000 to Old Trafford for a 6th round cup tie and 10,000 to Bolton when winning the second division.

When you are a kid, stuff like that is magical.

John Richards, Kenny Hibbitt, Steve Daley, Willie Carr, Bovril, seeing the Wolves floodlights 4 miles from the ground on a night match (always a Tuesday), the third round cup draw round the radio at school on a Monday, buying every paper going when we win.

Even watching Kevin Keegan destroy us at Molineux in front of an unofficial crowd of 55,000 with an estimated 20,000 Scousers in Wolverhampton all day looking for tickets - magic.

And then there was the radio commentaries on both European nights and World Cup qualifying nights conducted over the phone - charming.

It is all so bloody sterile now.

Yes Lord, you had a truly great team, one of the best, if not the best, in English football.

I had forgotten the bovril, but not the smell of wet wool and woodbines.

90's because Ronaldo was at his best, there has never been a better footballer IMO
