Taken in the days when 'Arry Redknapp had just the one chin and featuring a couple of ex-Charlton players. David Wagstaffe's wife looks like she's just come off the set of 'Hairspray'.

    Is it my imagination or do footballers have many more daughters than sons?

    That's why she is reputedly a better finisher than Darren Bent

    Why do they feel the need to be photographed with their domestic appliances? Being a bonified 90s kid I don't know if this was a common thing in 70s family portraits

    No, men were never to be seen in the kitchen. Ever.

    Now I see why Redknapp's Mrs was better than Bent! Must be able to chase a ball for hours, she doesn't look happy though, sitting under the window while the blonde bird moves into the centre of the picture.

    What has Mick Mills got on his feet? Alun Evans and his wife look like they have interchangeable hair.

    Serious kitchen appliances were status symbols in the 60s and 70s. My granny didn't even own a fridge and I am not 50 for another few weeks. If you had a washer or a fridge freezer or, perish the thought, a dishwasher in the 70s you clearly had some dosh and presumably showed it off. Cue the joke about brides wearing white so that the dishwasher matched the cooker and the fridge. Sorry ladies. :-)
