Nasal strips. What happened to them? Were they a scam? Just watched a rerun of Porto v Monaco and saw a few players wearing them.

FA Cup third or fourth replays.

The teleprinter with the results on Grandstand.

Guessing where Match of the Day was from the lunchtime preview.

Corner kicks being taken within the quarter circle of the white lining rather than the ball's shadow just about touching the outer edge of that line.

Throw-ins by a player who has his feet together.

Getting to the ground forty five minutes early just to make sure you get your usual good spot in the North Stand and then enjoying just soaking up the atmosphere until kick off (also not being in the least bit concerned about walking two miles down the ground and then standing for two and a half hours.)

Players not deliberately "falling over" in the penalty box.

A crowd surge after scoring a goal. A crowd surge after nearly scoring a goal. A crowd.

The "Ralph Coates" style comb over.

Proper leather footballs, and as a result, players protecting their cods in a defensive wall.

Packets of chewing gum being thrown into Super Cooper's net.

Programmes being piled on the counter of the club shop, only for a little hand from behind to quickly whip one away.

A sold out Portman Road. TWTD!

Someone has already said it but I second the magic sponge. Looking back it seems so absurd (especially in Corona times)
