Yet at the start you saw snooker in Black and White,
And there was Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier having those three epic fights.
The King died in 1977,
I was only four then but remembered that surreal day,
Mum was crying as I asked: “Has Elvis gone away?”.
Sunderland won the FA Cup when I was born
And England’s reign as World Champions in 1970 came to an end, by the West Germany by two goals to three,
As Brazil regained the Jules Rimes trophy in a glorious Aztec stadium for the whole world to see.
The hottest summer was in 1976
As computer games back then weren’t often in the mix,
There were the pools to entice a gambling spree
And there was cheap drinks on a Saturday afternoon where that nonsensical topic politics was discussed, causing others to disagree.
There were chats rather than taking your phones out
Music from the new seekers, Rod Stewart and ABBA
And there were the Sugarhill Gang with that hit ‘rappers delight’
Uplifting music that started our day so bright.
“Long live the 70s”
