Retro Round-Up - 18 April 2013

Our weekly buffet of football nostalgia from which we invite you to try an appetising mouthful of the following:

The Goldstone Wrap brings us the larger than life Brighton & Hove Albion team photo from 1979, which includes everyone at the club - even Hilda the tea lady...

An excellent assessment of the 1977 League Cup Final over at Got, Not Got - probably the longest Cup Final England's ever known...

In all their pinstriped brilliance, the 1983/84 Bordeaux team containing what looks like the entire French national squad, courtesy of The Vintage Football Club...

These funky Mexico 70 postcards over at Footysphere certainly get our (postage) stamp of approval...

The Subbuteo revolution finally begins in Japan, as reported by Tom Bayly for the BBC News website...

Finally, give in to temptation and snap up a Botafogo shirt worn by the great Garrincha on eBay - and all for the low, low price of £16,000...

Seen any retro football stuff on the web that we should include in our Retro Round-Up? If so, drop us a line to admin [at] thefootballattic [com] now!

  1. The Botafogo shirt is worth it if it has been worn by Garrincha.
    All of the Bordeaux players in the pic has played for France except goalkeeper Delachet and of Gernot Rohr of course since he is German.
