Was wearing shin pads mandatory?
« on: November 07, 2006, 08:17:39 AM »
My wife bought me collection of WC DVD's and ah started watching it last night....It has highlights of the group games and finals from 1974 to 2002...
I noticed many players wearing no shin guards, I always thought that it was mandatory from since then, can anyone enlighten me???

Shin guards weren't mandatory until  '87 or 88.  The fear of open wounds, blood and HIV had a lot to do with the change in the laws of the game.

I did not even bring mine, and ah had to go and get a pair quick because they would not let me play....They should have shind pads to protect the calf ah always getting kick from behind...
Anyway thanx everyone for the enlightenment...Ah cyah beieve it is so recent that it has been implemented.

I will check when ah get home and let you know...
 It is basically highlights of the past WC... Ah was young then but ah still used to watch the games, now seeing them fellas now bring back some good memories. Actually a guy I work with his father played for Poland and was top scorer in the 74 WC...When I met him I asked him if he was related to the great Lato, and he said it was his father... The son never played and is not really interested in football at all.. That must be hard for his father, but watching Lato and Boniek ripping men on the field was good. The best so far is when MAradona dance pass about 7 Englishmen and score, and I am not a MAradona fan, but an English supporter...

As far as I know this explanation is correct but I think it was introduce sometime in '86.It was the awareness of HIV after Rock Hudson death dat brought some major concerns worldwide.

In de hey days of Napoli, I remember that Alemao did not play with shin pads. So it had to be in the 90's

Correctumundo. De amendment was made in 1990.
