Before the Premier League was invented most pitches were crap after January. Most were just mud. George Best & Rodney Marsh coped ok. The Liverpool team of the 70's & 80's didnt play bad either.

I'd argue they'd struggle against the athletes of today.

The players of today play far more attractive football than what was played all those years ago.
Picking the best players of an era that would struggle against most average PL sides these days for quality and would be obliterated for fitness doesn't really help his point.
We're talking two league one sides on a pitch suitable for Sunday league.

Nothing to do with players of old versus players of today.
