Looks like Gunter Netzer behind Der Kaiser. Roy McFarland behind Moore.

A few year ago I was at the Christmas market in Cologne and spotted a familiar face at a bar. I kept looking at him trying to place him. Eventually it dawned on me it was Netzer, still with the same hairstyle. He was from Moenchengladbach, which isn't far from Cologne. Quality player.

Edit: Looks like Bob Fleming ("Arse!") from the Fast Show on the right.

Their number 10 looks useful.

He’s not bad, I’ll give you that.😀

Tigana...Tigana...Platini...GOAL!!!!!!!!   John Motson’s commentary to Michel Platini’s winner for France against Portugal in the semi-final of Euro 1984. It is iconic to say the least!

Wrong thread

Dragan Dzajic of Yugoslavia and of Red Star Belgrade.

From what I’ve read and the footage I’ve seen. He was an incredible player. A genuine genius of a No 10.

I remember reading he was embarrassed that he totally lost it commentating on that goal.

That advert takes me back to just before the World Cup of 1978…

The 1950 WC US National team that beat England in Brazil. Mostly Irish, Italian, and Portuguese first generation Americans.

April 1962 game I think. Eric Caldow (leading out Scotland) and Davie Wilson, (third in line) scored Scotland’s goals that day. 2-0 to Scotland .

132,431 officially saw it. Add 30-35,000 for the real attendance.

Scotland were in good form. They’d won four of their previous six internationals prior to the April 1962 match against England.

Even though bottles had been banned! This is the bottom of the Kop,after the World Cup qualifier against Wales at Anfield, in October 1977. Among the drinks were: Pomagne, Carlsberg and Skol lager, Smirnoff vodka, Cointreau, Gordon's gin, wine, and Newcastle Brown ale. Scotland won 2 - 0.

The packed Kings Park at Hampden ‘goal end’ terracing v England in April 1962.

 Clive Walker with No 20, Teofilo Cubillas.

A very talented Peru striker, whose ‘very name being spoken’, still sends a shiver down the spine of Scottish football fans of 'a certain age'. Cubillas was some player at his peak.

Wembley 1967. Scotland beat England 3-2.

Guillemot Stabile scores Argentina's 2nd goal against Uruguay in the 1930 World Cup Final v. Uruguay.

Stabile was the first winner of the World Cup ‘Golden Boot’.

Despite losing the final, Stábile made history, becoming the top scorer in the first World Cup Final tournament, with his tally of 8 goals in 4 games.

He made his debut for Argentina in their first game against Mexico and scored.

He then also scored against Chile and then against the USA..

Argentina only played four games in the 1930 Tournament.

It turned out that after the Final against Uruguay, he would never play for Argentina again.

So he scored in every game he played for his country, with an average of two goals per match.
