Harvest Smoking in the dugout. Big lapels, big personalities. Them were the days. Now it’s full of big watches, heated seats and cunts.

How straight was that game against Peru , will always be a question. But what a great side , well worthy world cup winners. Kempes, Loque,Passerelle , Ardiles etc.
Also sporned a trivia question I role out.
Why did Ardiles where number 2 ?
They were numbered in alphabetical order.

Misura

white_dragon they were off their collective bollocks on speed for the whole tournament.

Proper character Menotti.
I really wanted Holland to win that World Cup though on the basis that it was one of the biggest travesty’s ever when they lost to Germany in the previous final.
Hard to believe that the Peru game wasn’t a fix.

I loved that Argentina 78 team. Kempes remains my favourite non-Leeds striker ever. Didn’t know who I wanted to win in the final, though, for the reason WD mentions.
It’s really worth reading about the Arg 78 triumph. Used as a propaganda exercise by the military junta but Menotti and a number of the players were leftists, and the political prisoners listening on radios were cheering Arg on in the final.
Menotti represented one strand in Argentine football, Carlos Bilardo the cynical other. Bielsa was supposedly was a synthesis of the two but from the outside seems to me much more on the romantic side.
Jonathan Wilson’s ‘Angels with Dirty Faces’ tells you all you might want to know about Argentine football. Bludgeons you with facts but the underlying story is incredible

Remember after Jock Stein left . He said he was looking to make Luque his next signing.

I think he meant Gerry Daly and then Jimmy Adamsonout didn't rate him so he signed players like Marshall Burke and Jeff Chandler.

oneallanclarke I haven't read it but this is meant to be good.
