They'll recall when a footballer's favorite meal was steak and chips, he drove a Ford Capri and his biggest dislike was ignorant people. Ah, it was a different world back then For younger readers, this will be a history lesson, proof positive that their father's heroes really did exist - and they were quite good too.
