      @@southlondon86 the change of society. style of hair and clothing is less contemporary and the manner in which people present themselves is associated with older men by todays standards. Also the fitness standard of the day was less refined and a stockier builds were prevelant in the late 60s early 70s. Basically they look like peoples dad because everything you associate with current dads is from their childhood during these periods. Thats my take anyway

      Agree ; as I say on another post , we used to be allowed in to watch. I remember Barry Davies in his ITV days , pre BBC interviewing Bill Shankly and we tried to get on camera but kept being ushered away. Even in the 80s, some of the players just felt like one of us on the pitch. That’s rare now.

      No doubt "underrated" Millennials speak. Just the Boot Room mob, they all got lauded in the 70s but only Shanks & especially Paisley filled the Trophy Room up & after Paisley they could have still won trophies without a manager they were so good a team.

      I am reliably informed (by one of the players featured) that this is 73/74.
      Larry Lloyd left at end of this season. (allegedly in a huff because Phil Thompson played beside Emlyn Hughes in the FA Cup final that season).

      Definitely NOT ''around 77-79'' as Shankly is there & he retired in July 1974 & so for me & based on who else is in the footage, it's late 1973, very early 1974....

      You could be right. Keegan joined in 1971 and he is very young here. As is Phil Thompson who made his first team debut in 1972 aged 18. Add in Larry Lloyd who left in 1974; and 1972 or 1973 are likely candidates.
