    How to tackle 1970s style....
    Two players from 1970 cup final passing this week! RIP Norman and Peter.

    As an aside, next time you think we've been roughed up by the opposition, dig out a copy of Chelsea v Leeds 1970 Cup Final Replay (which I think that clip is from) i think only the keepers would stay on today if it was played under modern day rules.

    RIP 'Bite yer legs'. A lot made of his tackles but, boy, could he play as well. One of the greats.

    Some of his tackles would be deemed naughty today. I watched a u-tube video earlier and all of the opponents that he steamed into got straight back up, players roll round the floor for 3 days just for being tackled fairly.

    he looked a very good on the ball

    Had a lot more ability than many will give him credit for. I think he got dirtier as he got older/slower which demonstrates his will to win. R.I.P.
