This looks like the promotion clash at Chelsea in 1977,Rocka-where we unluckily lost 2-1.
I love this 1976/77 Uwin kit.
Christ there are some local legends in that piece.
Great players,yes-but the Dutch team(in my opinion)were better-even though Germany won.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.
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.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.

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.

Yes it was, I think we lost there again after promotion to the first division.This looks like the promotion clash at Chelsea in 1977,Rocka-where we unluckily lost 2-1.
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.Yes it was, I think we lost there again after promotion to the first division.
