Referee positioning in the olden days...

Ignoring the hair, the bad pitches and the tackles...watching Big Match revisited from 1976 and for corners the referee positioned himself off the pitch where the 6 yard box intersects the byline, and the linesman (they were all male then) at that end did the same the other side of the 6 yard box.

Kinda makes sense apart from not being in a position to call offside in the second phase.

Goalkeepers didn't wear gloves either.

Player gets knocked out so 2 blokes lift him off the pitch with an arm each.
