1960maaan Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I have no recollection of this game, only read some stuff on Twitter earlier. I can't have been there, maybe because it wasn't City, must have been a reason as I was going to most games then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the difference now is who would put their hands in their own pockets to help out footballers earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to play at the foot of the second tier of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean the third tier? Frightening to think that a couple of dozen of the highest paid players could pay off the debts of a few clubs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player from our Alan Dicks era First Division squad told me that he used to earn £800 a week basic back then. Not a bad crack in 1980: probably equivalent to a company director or an established barrister etc in those days. Now, a top tier player even at a smaller club would be earning more than CEOs of many multinational businesses. Only film stars, successful City traders and gangsters will be earning more.
