Keepers didn't use gloves in those days unless it was wet conditions with a muddy ball.
You don't see any wearing caps these days |  |

Different times indeed. From the late 60s, I still have a scar from where some optimist lunged at me when I made the obligatory bounce of the ball then required every 4 paces. It was easily back in my hands before my assailant's (old style) studs ripped through my sock and gashed my shin, The other thing that was different then was the weight of the ball when it got wet. |  | | |

Doubled in weight apparently. And retained ice due to the pitches.m

Well, of course I don’t care, I mean who would.
Could you create another log in and neutralise it. Not that I care or anything, who would? But you know….😂 | |

I had the ron springett book to help me. regularly had the groundsman curse me for drawing my lines, it as the thing to do to dive in at the players feet, not so today.
I remember the talk about Pat Jennings having a blinder in one game, saving ith his legs and spreading himself star shape . |  | | |

It was interesting re the lines that some keepers preferred a single mark on the 6-yard line down the middle, while most probably opted for two lines to indicate the position of the goal posts. And marking out these lines indeed seems less common now, Also, yes, in a one-on-one, most opted to close down an attacker as quickly as possible and dive at his feet. Pat Jennings was probably one of a very few who behaved more like a modern top keeper by "standing up" and extending his legs/feet to block an attempt to place the ball either side of him. Others were more like Tommy Lawrence and would get down low on their side using the length of their body as the barrier. Of course, they might then be undone by the little "dink", but actually getting down low like this seemed to work well enough in its day. [Post edited 13 May 12:44]

Rons plan was to do the 3 mark, each post and the middle, thinking back now whether I really used them I dont know, but being "a big lad" i had no fear in diving down or spreading, but it all changed later in years when I realised I was more eaker on one side than the other, going left i was brilliant, going right at times a butterfly ould get past me. | | | |

Aren't goalkeepers not allowed to mark their area anymore, I might be wrong | |
