    For John who was looking for football taped off the telly.

    Don’t know if this is of interest to you but my dad used to tape loads of big games (World Cup mainly) and probably has them going back to the 80s. I’d have to look them out but you’re welcome to them.

    I often visit your page and have noticed that you don’t update it often. More frequent updates will
    give your blog higher rank & authority in google. I know that writing content takes a lot of
    time, but you can always help yourself with miftolo’s tools which will shorten the time of creating an article to
