used to be a televised weekly documentary on UK TV in the sixties. It took a look back at times gone by in UK life. It was also a very popular song by Mary Hopkin in the sixties, so it is a very well known English phrase.

them were days

If you want to go for something slightly dialecty, you could consider "them were days".

-> "Eeeh, when I were lad, Leeds United won Football League. And it were Division One, none of this Premier twaddle. Aye, them were days of Billy Bremner and Mick Jones, wi' Gary Sprake keepin' goal ..."
