Point being if that old generation of players were around now they'd be in the same training and diet regime as other modern footballers. And they'd also be playing an era where you can't hack players down all the time without getting booked. How that would translate in to what team would beat who...
Impossible to tell.
Also don't forget how pampered and pathetic the modern player is. They are injured half the time whereas you'd get 42 games out of Bremner and he'd be queueing outside Elland Road all summer waiting for the season to start again. Real men against girlies, no competition.
