I ran the winning touchdown for my championship season. Those were the days.

The bolded line is totally Greek to me. Could you explain it a bit with regard to its background?

Besides, what does "Those were the days" signify? Is it "Those were history" or "Those were the memorable times?" Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

The ball was passed to him and he ran with it to the goalposts to score the touchdown that won the game.

"Those were the days" is a very common expression to indicate longing for a time in the past. The song was the theme song for a very popular TV show in the States during the 70's, "All In the Family".
