sandy Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 4 hours ago, lady-isobel-barnett said: Tongue in cheek one here.. We possibly all suspect that any south of the border commentator is obliged to mention "1966" in any international commentary regardless of who is playing. An often rather tenuous link is required to carry this out. So what link did the Wales v Ukraine commentary chappie use to achieve a "1966" mention around the 47th minute of yesterday's game? He heard @denismcquadeno.eleven lived in England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew, as a player, he was a full back who played for a top tier ie Ipswich-league winning side. Always wondered if he hated wingers because they took him ‘to the cleaners’ eg Finney and Matthews! He played for Spurs and England. He was manager of Ipswich when they won the First Division title the season after being promoted. He then took over the England job.

Turkey and India withdrew due to financial reasons. For British teams, qualification was based on the Home Nations Championship. The top two teams qualified for the World Cup. Before the Home Nations competition, the Chairman of the SFA, Mr George Graham, announced that Scotland would only travel to Brazil if they won the Home Nations. Scotland finished second and the SFA refused to go to the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
