Football was very different then. The centre half rarely went into the other team's half and neither did the fullbacks. Likewise, a center or wing forward found loitering in his own goal area would risk a reprimand from the team manager. It was actually a more open game then, though not as fast as today.  They would regularly pull in crowds of 1,300- 1,500.  It was good quality football.
