Friday Night Football

[Cormack74]

Doesn't anyone remember when the beeb had rights to live matches and showed some on Friday nights?

I'm only in my 40's but sometimes I almost feel as old as Neil (RIP) on here.

Aston Villa, away. Freezing conditions. We won. Rush scored a volley (half volley?) from outside the box?? We wore our yellow second kit. ????

Ok - just looked it up (on Google). It was a Friday night (ask me what I was doing last week - no idea. Ask me about a Liverpool game in 1984 - I'll tell you the Day and goal scorers!! ) The memory of a 40 year old!

For the record, Rush scored a hatrick. And, it was a lob - not a volley a volley in the area. He also lobbed* the keeper for his third.

Do people still use the word lobbed? For you youngsters - see 'chipped'.
