RE: How! A German bloke named Adolf helped win the 1954 World Cup and restored the self-esteem of a nation...or it might have been drugs!

Thought about you and your rugby, there was an interesting article about how kicking styles influenced design separation as rugby in the old days and US football used a straight on kicking technique which meant the boots traditionally had a slab front.
Dry subject but it made a good story. Kept me reading and following rabbit holes half the day!
Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend :-)

I must admit I could kick the old leather ball much further than the synthetic one of today. This was the theory why the balls changed as 60 m was becoming fairly common in the late 1980's. I remember watching the old clips of players toe kicking the balls and having the slab front boots. I forwarded the post through for curation even though you had one the day before as it was that good and know how much research goes into these.
You have a great weekend as well.
