@lucyjaynewhite1 So John Barnes shouldn't have played for England then, or Terry Butcher; two of our greats in past years. Thick fascist dope. "If I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists."

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish… … has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast. What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join? Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense. I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

@_ChrisLepkowski @UtdBeforFergie @80sculturefan @sid_lambert Pretty sure Robson, Wilkins and Hoddle started the WC in Mexico, first two matches, with Waddle as a wide 3rd attacker supporting Lineker and Hateley. Probably one tournament too far for Butch. Hoddle didn't contribute enough for England which was a real shame.

@80sculturefan @sid_lambert @UtdBeforFergie One of the best footballers of my lifetime. I know it is not the done thing to criticise Bobby Robson, so I am going to hammer Don Howe influence for not allowing SBR to build a midfield central 3 of Robson-Wilkins-Hoddle. Howe and his 4 4 bloody 2

43 years ago today: The late, great Ray Wilkins gets the ball at Wembley… and does this. Exquisite.

@Eamonnspires @1968Tv @markcummins1 @ITVX But you get to relive the moment when Lineker accidentally did a small poo while stretching for the ball. Got to be worth a watch for that.

@1968Tv @markcummins1 @ITVX Good to see an Irish game feature. Truth be told, that game v England in 1990 ( Sheedys rocket apart) was turgid.

Anyone wanting to watch classic World Cup matches, then get straight over to @ITVX England v West Germany 1966 England v Argentina 1986 Brazil v England 1970 England v West Germany 1990 England v France 1982 Scotland v Netherlands 1978 Denmark v Uruguay 1986 Brazil v Italy 1970 Netherlands v Argentina 1974 Brazil v Czechoslovakia 1970 Argentina v West Germany 1986 England v Paraguay 1986 Argentina v Peru 1978 Netherlands v Brazil 1974 Netherlands v West Germany 1974 Italy v West Germany 1974 England v Cameroon 1990 Brazil v Scotland 1982 West Germany v Yugoslavia 1990 Italy v West Germany 1982 England v West Germany 1970 West Germany v Argentina 1990 Argentina v Brazil 1982 England v Rep Of Ireland 1990 Belgium v USSR 1986 Spain v Northern Ireland 1982 Argentina v Netherlands 1978 England v Poland 1986 France v West Germany 1982 A fantastic selection of classic World Cup action from years gone by. #WorldCup #ITV @itvfootball

@stusfootyflash A lot of people aren't aware Gazza's problems in adult life began at the age of 10, when his 8-year-old friend died in his arms in the road following a road accident. A terrible thing for a young kid to go through, but to then be thrust into the biggest spotlight of all...wow!

Today marks 35 years since Paul Gascoigne’s infamous tackles in the FA Cup Final. Here Des Lynam & Jimmy Hill look at Gazza’s behaviour at Wembley that day, and the impact his injury might have. A damning assessment from two of the best in the business.

@bifana_bifana Jock Stein played here by a young and handsome Robert Mitchum. Brian Clough played by...oh, hang on...

That's Béla Guttman's chauffeur. And that's Johan Cruyff's father's accountant. And that's Jock Stein's sister's chiropodist. And that's Rinus Michels' cousin Alfred.

@rogeradey1 @MemorabiliaMal Ah, good old Google. Every day's a school day.

@WriterScottD @MemorabiliaMal According to Google, ‘The switch was necessitated by the UK's severe energy crisis and the government's declaration of a Three-Day Week. Because of national power shortages, use of stadium floodlights was strictly banned. To guarantee matches could be completed safely in daylight

Results 15/1/74 - 27/1/74 Includes the first league games played on a Sunday, Millwall vs Fulham the earliest kick-off of the twelve games played 20/1/74. The following week saw the first top flight Sunday game when Stoke City played host to Chelsea.

@rogeradey1 @MemorabiliaMal What was the reason so many games were played on a Sunday back then? Very unusual as they weren't on TV. Was there some other reason?

@MemorabiliaMal Was at Fellows Park to see Walsall's first ever Sunday game. The great Alan Buckley reigned supreme

@FootballInT80s Racing out to play football after watching a big match, trying to recreate the goals. Jumpers for goalposts.

You can keep your ultra-HD streams & tactical breakdowns. Nothing will ever beat: The Vidiprinter Saint & Greavsie Aztec Gold, Nessun Dorma Mitre footballs, Tangos Muddy pitches Panini stickers Motson/Davies/Moore Butler/Jones on the radio Ceefax latest scores Clubcall Following your Dad’s team Sensible Soccer Football just felt different then. What else would you add?

@tsrunseen The kid's a dead ringer for Zammo from Grange Hill, which is quite apt really. Great series too.

Reni’s yellow Roby Sasson top features in the new series Legends featuring Steve Coogan. I wonder if this top is the one worn by Reni 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Mexico86HQ Papin. He had a stinker against Canada in the opening match of the group, but even in that stinker you could see the potential.

Who's the Mexico 86 player?

@TonyEvans92a No Ronnie Whelan, no party.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

@retrofootballnw Yes, that's right, misleading on the mag cover. Absolutely love your content. Big fan here.

@WriterScottD Or do you mean misleading from Shoot?

The cover of Shoot from 30th November 1985. Kevin Moran of #MUFC and Ian Rush of #LFC contesting the ball from the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in October.

@wolvesbradders Good to see this result. See you at the New Bucks Head next season.

Fucking hell! 90th minute equaliser. 5-4 on penalties. That’s one amazing way to get promoted. My blood pressure may not agree 😀

@adele_pascale Breakfast platter comes highly recommended...

@WriterScottD Ooh no not come across that one! Will add to the list…

Well this was a fine start to the day. We have some lovely places in Loughborough…just need to decide on a pudding now…

@n56_smith @robertmdaws Jason Statham!

@robertmdaws Who is in between Gordon Banks and Bobby Charlton ??

ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in Rome for the Euro's of 1968

@batcountry1980 @kennylanglea Libraries gave us power...absolutely!

@kennylanglea I had A Design For Life on this morning. What a song.

The number one single in the UK this day in 1996 was Fastlove by George Michael. Also on the chart were Charmless Man by Blur, A Design For Life by Manic Street Preachers, Sale Of The Century by Sleeper and Ironic by Alanis Morissette #memories

@steve29180012 @AlanTaylor168 @RDPHistory Forgotten Voices of the Falklands includes significant contributions from both BBC and ITV reporters who were embedded. BBC reporter Robert Fox details his experiences during the battle for Darwin and Goose Green.

@AlanTaylor168 @RDPHistory Interesting question though. Were journalists embedded on these ships? Ricky?

May 1st 1982: Twelve Sea Harriers from HMS Hermes prepare to take off to strike Argentine targets; nine to Stanley and three to Goose Green, most with 1,000lb bombs set to explode mid-air, on impact and one after an hour, to keep them guessing, plus some with cluster bombs. 1/2

@PeterH314 @RDPHistory Try Forgotten Voices of the Falklands, by Hugh McManners, a wonderful oral history told by many participants.

@RDPHistory Every morning here in Sydney I read the current posts with great interest. Clearly so much went on that the common person like I never knew about. Have to start this book shortly. Cheers.

April 30th 1982: The UK prepares for a titanic "shock & awe" mission on the Falklands, beginning with the longest bombing raid in history. On Ascension, the Vulcan crews prepare to enter the history books as darkness starts to fall.... 1/2
