Aha. I’m a bit older. I remember the Arsenal 1971 double team. When I was a boy growing up in North London, in those days before the Taylor report, the stadiums would open up the gates at half time and it’d be an open house. Us local boys would go to Arsenal one week and Spurs the next. I used to love Hoddle in the 70’s.
You were already going to football matches at age 4 … and you actually remember them?
I think I would have been about 4 years old when I went to my first football match at Arsenal’s old stadium Highbury. I stated clearly that I remember the team, not the matches. However, as we are dealing with The FA Cup final, which is broadcast live on TV, which I watched at home, (and I must have watched or attended every FA Cup final since then) I do remember that particular goal by Charlie George in the video, and all the uproar and excitement it caused, let alone the parade of the cup around the streets of Islington where I grew up. The team of 11 players that played for Arsenal that day and won the Cup for Arsenal for the first time since 1950 achieved legendary status, they continued to play for Arsenal for many years following. Also in those days, it was normal for boys to have sticker albums, comics and books, so yes I remember the team, and the winning goal from the match itself.
Incidentally, I also “remember” the England World Cup winning team of 1966, one year before I was born.
I hope that answers your question :)
Try telling fans on the terraces
Erm, terraces ? Where have you been the last 20 odd years? it’s all seater stadiums these days.
Terraces is not a literal phrase, stands will be known at many stadiums as “terraces” going back to the days when there were proper fans standing watching their teams instead of japanese tourists at Old Trafford for eg on their little smart phones not watching the game. Many of the smaller stadiums still have terraces anyway

Talking of going down,. who’s the only team in English football never to be relegated?

Rudeboy,. We’re going off the football theme here, but may I ask why you feel such a compelling need to use ad hominems ? and do you know what an ad hominem is?
Another club that hasn’t been relegated is Burton Albion or have you forgotten about them as well

I think you’ll find Burton Albion were relegated in 1970, 1973 and 1977, no doubt before you were born young man x

Well?
Burton only joined the football league in 2009 and were part time amateur status before then … you’re utterly clueless as we already know. You can’t supply an answer to your own question can you as you don’t know anything about football.

The revised and rephrased question clearly states, any league any time in history. Sterling effort, but wrong again young man, sorry x
You must try harder :)
