Great football

 

Wasn't even born then ffs.

 

good head of hair

 

Me neither but as students of the game we know of these greats

 

BTW 4 WC winners died this year @monacoger to confirm

 

More, I would have thought.

 

I can only think of 4 off hand,one for @THFC6061

 

I was meaning that there will be lesser known people who have won the WC and died that wasn't really reported in the UK/Irish press.

 

Yeah know what you mean,a West German or a Brazilian going back a bit.

 

Correct my simpleton friend.

 

Nobby Stiles, Jack Charlton this year for England

Hand of god, Argentina

 

all the way to the anus?

 

Thought this was about the untimely passing of our beloved Qua owner!!!


Phew!

 

One of the most entertaining finals, 1982. The actual final itself I mean.

England would have been there if Brooking and Keegan had both been fit.

 

This was an urban myth doing the rounds in Dublin for years and as the fella said never let the truth ruin a good story...

Pretty sure Doctor Scrotumes smoked 80 tabs a day when he was in his pomp.

Quite remarkable as Coleman used to say.

 

Yeah heard something about that along with Cruyff and Ardiles all smokers though Ossie is still with us.

 

Socrates the chain smoking doctor, would have made sense if he’d played in Ireland I suppose. For Dundalk, maybe.

 

Could be a good bet tonight with Dundalk playing Arsenal.Will Arsenal throw it and let Dundalk get a point and more importantly some money? hmmm

Dundalk 16/1

 

Not sure Arteta can afford to lose to Dundalk tbh.

On the other hand, on current form, the stronger team he puts out, the more likely Arsenal are to **** it up.
