Total Mud! Highfield Road March 1988 Reporter Clive Tyldesley

@CliveTyldesley To be fair - the groundsman sent the apprentice to get sand for the pitch from Blackpool beach. He didn't realise he should've waited for the tide to go out 🤣

@CliveTyldesley Derby must have thought they were at the Baseball ground in the 70s😉

@CliveTyldesley If Coventry had worn their brown kit it would have looked like 10 heads floating around the pitch.

@CliveTyldesley Nothing wrong with that pitch at all, groundsman should be proud

@CliveTyldesley Trainers brought on to treat cases of trench foot....

@CliveTyldesley It was fine until they started running around on it.

@CliveTyldesley Nice article on how Britain led he way in banishing muddy pitches from the top flight game...

@CliveTyldesley I remember when the great george best was sent off for throwing mud at the ref Illustrates why any comparisons between generations are fatuous How would ronaldo and Messi like playing on that pitch!

@CliveTyldesley The glory years

@CliveTyldesley Bloody ell it’s like the Monty Python’s batley’s women’s guild 🤭🤣😂
