Do you need spectacles?” Those Were The Days: Football journeys back through the photo archives to find photos of prewar football accompanied by a sparkling commentary, delivered in a Path� news style that wouldn’t go amiss delivered by Mr Cholmondley–Warner (of Harry Enfield fame). Those were the days when you could still smoke while playing center forward, when games often ended 6–6, and a broken leg was no excuse to miss the second half.
