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.

Outstanding. That parrot has seen things.
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…

Fancy hurtling back into the 90s but toward Rugby League? Of course you do. Meet the Oldham Bear. The state of it!
And (for now) we’ll move away from the 90s by a couple of years and Telford’s Benny the Buck who became Benny the Box after his head was stolen.

It’s a requirement for mascot boxing.
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!

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!
