Solid leather ball
heavy when wet
muddy pitches
unlke today's perfect grass
I played goalkeeper
got knocked out a few times
when charged
Not allowed now
Considered barbaric

Just read this poem Keith and It takes me back to when I played football on wet fields It was like kicking a cannonball we used have boots almost like work you could toe end the ball makes wonder how today's footballers would manage with that kind of football 
and those football boots?
