    Nice story Taff and memories that will last a lifetime. I was a bit young to understand in 1966 but I remember Mexico in 1970 and collecting the Texaco coins,
    The QF against West Germany was a real choker!.

    Sounds like this Dutchman is hailing a taxi in Newcastle (5,6)

    Great answer Steels, but it's not a player, it could be alternatively known as People's Park.

    Jurgen Klopp (I'm rather late to the parade here - Keegan > Liverpool > Klopp - played and managed Mainz 05, so was their main teacher)

    "Klopp spent his entire 12-year playing career at Mainz 05, before going on to become their longest-serving manager from 2001 to 2008"

    Ah, it's WAY simpler than that Kilburn....:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    "Main teacher" is an anagram....

    Oh you anagram guys at it again - good thing actually as I'd have to put my thinking cap on to formulate a new question.

    Interesting though what the mind going down the garden path can come up with for an answer!

    Well done Surrey....It was probably harder than I meant it to be, because i've since discovered that it is not actually called the Imtech Areana anymore!
    That's why I dropped in the "People's Park" clue, as that is English for Volksparkstadion (the current name), without the stadion part.
