Players are so conditioned now and prepped up to perform at the absolute physical max (whatever that is). An analogy would be an F1 car engine versus a normal road car engine. Back in years gone by, players were much less fit and it is of course, all relative. The game is so much faster now. Even in the 80's there were only 2 subs named! Now you need a squad with at least 4 or 5 decent options to bring off the bench...otherwise its a big advantage to the opposition if they have the options themselves!
So players now run around and with greater intensity than say Frank Large did, do they? I suppose the only way to avoid 'memory tricks' would be to watch old footage. What is available?

Yes. Conditioning is on another planet compared to his era (even compared to 10-15 years ago). See how many current athletics world records you can find which were set before Frank Large retired….

The oldest track athletics world record is the women’s 800m held by Jarmila Kratochvilova from 1983. Franks last game was in 1974 so 9 years out. Would be confirmed in the book Have Boots Will Travel - The Story of Frank Large (Pitch Publishing, 2014).

Eastern Europen athlete setting unbelievable time in mid 80s...nothing to see here. Slight sidetrack. I remember reading an article a couple of years ago about this record when all the controversy was surrounding the South African Caster Semenya. Only three people (one being Semenya) in the 2000s have got anywhere near this record and when I say near two were nearly a second behind it with one being two seconds which is still quite a way off. Funnily enough the only other runners that ran anywhere near that time were Russian and Cuban also in the 80's. They even looked at removing records set in that era due to the suspicious nature.

Er, excuse me can you get back over on the other thread, I haven’t finished our row about democracy. Rude.

I thought you were one of the long-serving members here. Yet you use the words "logical conclusion"

I remember reading that when one of the athletes breaking those records in the 1980s died (in the last few years or so) at the post mortem the pathologist couldn't be certain whether they were a woman or a man so significant the abuse of hormones had been. I think we need to be far more skeptical about some of the achievements of our own down through the generations.

Just seen Josh Harrop is without a team. Young, promising, hampered by injuries. Fits the bill perfectly!

Only 29 appearances in the last 2 seasons.
In 2019 he suffered a serious ligament injury and missed most of the season . Released by PNE September 22 so free agent. Bit like Eppiah so maybe worth a risk! Another one!
