Every so often I think about what a travesty it was that Barry Davies only got to commentate on 2 FA Cup Finals (1995 & 1996) and 1 World Cup Final (1994) during his time at the BBC. Absolutely baffling when you consider his brilliance behind the microphone.🎙

Different platform, same genius.

A good recovery. #ChesterFC #Crap90sFootball

Freddy the Fox and... What I believe is a parrot mascot for Chester City!? Equally terrifying!

Wintery conditions across the country have led to matches being cancelled. No such cop out for Glentoran and Linfield in 1995 who not only faced snow but also the orange ball bursting at half time. The show must go on… #Crap90sFootball

A brief intro. I post random clips & photos from football's past. I love to interact on different football topics. I'm also working with Elton Welsby on his autobiography, which will be out VERY SOON! If you like retro football, you're in the right place!

THE FOOTBALL CLICHES PODCAST The Adjudication Panel 🔊 The lowest level a referee could have played to satisfy the "never played the game" brigade 🔊 The origin of "tippy-tappy" football 🔊 Exceptional "aplomb" misuse at the darts 🔊 MORE @cdeccleshare.bsky.social @davidcameronwalker.bsky.social

Some superb early 1990s marketing at work here. Put Roy Keane in a Joe Bloggs jumper and ask him to wear some poor Robin Hood era style hat. Then give him a sword! Roy looks as delighted as you'd expect. Future son-in-law beware! #90s #NFFC #Nottingham

I've set up a Starter Pack of accounts that specialise in retro football content and have joined up to Bluesky. Hopefully, this is of use to some of you! Have I missed anyone? go.bsky.app/65vthe9
