Watching football on Ceefax
Discussion
As discussed on another thread about stuff that's died out, anyone else have fond memories of Ceefax live football in the 80s and early 90s.
There was an excitement about watching a live football match on Ceefax that will never be replicated. Especially staring at it thru extra time and a penalty shoot out because your team's match wasn't on the tv or the radio.
I recall a league match, we were away at Swindon I think, level after 90 minutes at 1-1, just waiting for FT to appear on the right to signify it was all over, and then when the FT appeared the score was 1-2 and our strikers name was below with (90) next to it.
That was the best feeling in the world.
