This is when you had real footballers, the football itself was then made of leather and if it was raining being leather it soaked up the rain and just got heavier and heavier. The ball had an inner tube which is why there are laces on the ball and you can rest assured when I was playing and headed the ball it was usually on the laces and boy was that sore.
Can anyone tell me what the letters C P R on their shirt badge stands for and why they were called Whites?
