docker-p Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 While flicking through an old copy of Charles Buchans Football Annual in a second hand book shop, i came accross an article about Ted Bates' revolutionary new coaching method. This involved a camera man, sitting up on the cat walk accompanied by an out of action player, shooting 150ft of film of every home game and using it to coach the team. Anybody know if any of this footage survives, or who the camera man was, or what 150ft of film amounts to in playing time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 150 ft about 2 minutes ;-) No wonder I don't last too long, what with my few inches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 You really should get out more But that is exactly how docker-p found the Charles Buchan Football Annual. Interesting story. 2 minutes of film speeded up? No wonder Saints were on the up! We should try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadesmith Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 Yeah i've got the footage up in my attic...next to a pile of Bongo Mags. Next time i'm up there getting the fairy lights down i'll have a look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 This is a Saints forum; not a forum for over weight sad ****s living out their childhood fantasies. Take it elsewhere .... Although this is a very interesting thread Docker how is it any more relevant than my thread which involves forum members organising a Forum Football Match???? 150ft of historical training footage probably appeals to less people than a football match?? I like the thread as enjoy all links to the past but perhaps you should try to accept that as an open forum some threads interest certain people, some threads don't....but that does n't give people the right to then insult other members because they don't like the topic of a thread or see its relevence to the forum in general. No hard feelings. Ps let me know if you track down any of the footage. hopefully some of it still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to point out to one of the users that what he had written on one thread could then apply to something he himself has then written. sometimes......

May seem very old fashioned to a younger generation but considering that it was 50 years ago, it shows great vision for something that today is part of the modern coaches training methodology.
