For those not old enough.......(I taped it on a BASF video while working for £pittance)



What happened to the days when we had a 7 foot tall players and a badger on the team...

The "who's who v the who's they".

This pitch was actually more fit for play than most Australian Super Rugby stadiums

Had that one one video too, if I remember correctly the tape started with a couple of minutes of a show called "The Word" then cut into it and at the end cut out into an episode of "Kung Fu".....

How about this one, worth it to see Austin Heally nearly get drowned under his own posts.

For my first experience of life international rugby. Scotland v England at a rammed Murrayfield in 1974. Sitting in the school boy"s enclosure (no PC terminology in those days) seeing Andy Irvine tackle Dave Duckham into touch and into the advertising boards right in front of us kids. You k ew right then this was a game you really wanted to play. I don't think there is much footage to that match. Scotland won and we all ran onto the pitch at the end.

Irvine's try from that match kicks off this highlight tape. Can you see yourself?

I was on the Scotland 25 yd line so unfortunately no luck seeing myself. That is a real crowd. I was at the Wales game the following year where I think there was a monster crowd.
