BaaLocks Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It's not Peter Sutcliffe - it's Dave Walton ? The Jack Charlton - Derek Dougan tizz was the highlight of the tournament. TBF - Jack Charlton looks like he would know what to do with a set of bolt cutters in this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 From memory (this was the first WC I was old enough to take an interest in) it was a real disappointment. Not many matches (only 16 teams but not England). Loads of low scoring games and it pee'd down with rain much of the time. And wasn't there some very unsavoury scandal surrounding the Haiti team who got knocked out, flew home and promptly "disappeared" into Papa Doc's torture cells for daring to fail? Argentina was much more fun a few years later. Mainly to laugh at Ally's Tartan Army.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Absolutely right.....it is Peter Sutcliffe. He'll probably have travelled down with big jack, (assuming jimmy saville isn't lurking off camera somewhere). Jack tried to get him interested in fly fishing and shouting, but Pete was having none of it, and stuck to his task of smacking people over the head, whilst pretending to be schizo throughout the entire tournament. He particularly enjoyed the more violent matches, and offered his own unique insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of thing I recall. Loads of fouls and stop -start action. Those clips were truly eye watering. If that was reffed today it would end up 6 a side ?

In reality, as you alluded to, they were scared stiff in that game because the Govt back home had threatened the players and their family. They were embarrassed after the Yugoslavia game and Brazil were up next. The defender just wanted to get the ball as far up the field as possible and waste time. Re Argentina, if you catch a documentary on Iplayer BBC Scotland about the 78 world cup it will have you laughing and sad at the same time. Allys family are interviewed and admitted that their dad was never the same after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTHING pleases me more than to score goals! That’s my business and goals are my commodity. Yet, when I scored that second goal to sink Leeds United’s chances of winning the Double, I felt a little sad. But only for a moment! Then I was delighted and not because it ended the tremendous bid by Leeds — and I cannot emphasise that too strongly. I was overjoyed simply because I am a striker and I am paid to score goals. If I don’t score, my employers are not going to be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don’t score, my employers are not going to be very happy. Hi, Sugar Plum here, come on! Continuing my slightly sardonic thread (see above!) How could anyone accuse the angels of Leeds of underhand tactics in that game at Molyneux. It was purely coincidental that the referee found an extra six minutes of injury time when there were very few second half stoppages. (A regular occurrence now but almost unheard of in the early '70s) It made no difference that members of the football Association were waiting to present Revie with the League Championship trophy which they had to take away under wraps and pass it to their 'favourite' manager Brian Clough instead. How can anyone suggest that Leeds were a load of cheats? ??? BTW the mystery man next to Bobby Charlton's brother is the bodyguard he hired from Rent-a-Thug!

What a team, gutted and cried when they lost the final. Good practice for future England WCs I guess! Mum bought me a Holland shirt, beautiful, never knew what happened to it sadly.
