Interestingly,only Cloughie wearing a suit and tie on this photo-which is perhaps surprising as Larry Lloyd
was fined for not wearing a club blazer a few years later.

This looks like the promotion clash at Chelsea in 1977,Rocka-where we unluckily lost 2-1.

Christ there are some local legends in that piece.
Hans-Hubert „Berti“ Vogts and Jupp Heynckes would go on to be immensely successful managers, and of course „Der Kaiser“ managed both Bayern and Germany.
Oh, and Herr Vogts still never needs to buy a drink In Mönchengladbach, as a genuine „one club man“.
That team would be worth millions in the modern Game.

Great players,yes-but the Dutch team(in my opinion)were better-even though Germany won.
I reckon Brazil 1970 followed by Holland 1974 were the best international teams I’ve seen.
Yes, as a team of individuals, they probably were. But that German side is still lionised here as a unit that was so much more than the sum of its parts. A genuine team, unlike the Dutch, who, whilst absolutely brilliant and led by the incomparable Johan Cruijff (the best ever, fight me, anyone) were liable to fall out with each other at the drop of a hat and implode.
Brazil 1970, no question, were probably the best international side of all time; I also loved the Socrates-led 1982 version, who were also incredible, despite winning nothing.

I felt the Dutch of 1974 were a better team and had better individuals than West Germany-I found the
German’s football methodical and uninspiring (in contrast to the total football played by Holland which was a delight to watch).
Home advantage also probably gave Germany a boost to gain a slightly fortunate win in the final-playing
on home soil seemed to be a massive advantage in those days(as England proved in 1966,Germany in
1974 and Argentina in 1978).

Yes it was, I think we lost there again after promotion to the first division.
Oh and yes, the best goal in World Cup history was scored by Carlos Alberto of Brazil in the 1970 Final.
A sublime team goal, finished off by its right-back.

We did indeed(1-0)-particularly memorable as I got soaked on an open terrace and ran out of petrol in the centre of London after the game due to a faulty fuel gauge.
