The thing is, back then, nobody knew the football was awful

Watch a match from the 70s and the crowd will appaul a pass and first touch that would not even be noticed these days.

I'd even go so far as to say that this Norwich team would beat the winners of the European cup in the mid 70s. The fitness, physicality and technical skills are all so much better now.
