While I don't like to hear of players being injured, hopefully our chances of beating Poland have just increased.
Exactly what I thought when I saw the article. No doubt about it, our chances HAVE increased. Just need to ensure we take advantage. Although I would have liked our defence to have actually being properly tested. No good qualifying for a tournament easily because you’re in an easy group, and then flop in spectacular fashion when you get there when you come up against world class players.
Don’t take anything for granted. I was at Wembley stadium that evening when Tomaszewski played in goal. I still have nightmares.
I remember the nightmare of watching it on TV - made even worse as ours was still monochrome. I'm surprised that Clough wasn't made to suffer for his "clown" comment like Hansen was for his "don't win anything with kids". Quite funny that years later, possibly the best keeper in the world had a name that resembled 'buffoon'.

Another thing about that game in '73. Did anyone else think that the referee awarding us a late penalty was an act of generosity? I would have been livid if that had been given against us.

Just after 4:00
I still blame Hunter for not booting the ball into row Z instead of trying to play football on the touch line.
