I recall Cameroon beating Argentina, they were 28/1 on the Ladbrokes coupon.
Such errors no longer occur.

That Cameroon game was ace, they didn't half give Argentina some right rough stuff bordering on common assault, Claudio Cannigga could hardly walk after the game.

Great video otium, gave me goosebumps. Interesting thing for me at the end was how Swindon were kicked out of div1 to div3,like Greavsie said if you applied that ruling over illegal payments to most of the league you'd have to demote most clubs, outrageous!Hope you are doing ok with your treatment?

In 1990 i was on the BBC twice, i got stopped many times on my return to the UK by folk who recognised me as one of the interviews (maybe half a minute video) was repeated day after day....it was about some fight at a bar in Cagliari and on the article i pointed out that BBC never mentioned the thousands of fans getting on with the locals nightly without an issue. The second one was me piling in to an Italian car to buy tickets  |

Whats your first world cup memory?
I was 4 in 1966, i recall nothing.
!970 though, TV, the Esso coins and most of all the majesty and glamour of Brazil. The yellow shirts were so brilliant and they moved like gods compared to everyone else.
It seemed so sunny on TV, we had just got a colour TV at home.
I remember people watching the coloured games in New Street in shop windows.
In 1974 i was 11 going on 12....i saw every game live, the lot, in a small house in Todmorden....outside was one of the warmest summers ever but i stayed in to see the matches.

I’m with you Otium. 1970 World Cup was magical. The Esso coins were memorable but it was all about Pele, Tostao, Jairzinhio, Rivelino, Gerson, Alberto and the Yellow and Green shirts and Blue shorts of Brazil. The Wonderful team goal finished by Carlos Alberto is still my favourite ever goal and as that was my first proper WC memory, I’ve always wanted Brazil to do well. |

1966 was first world cup watching nearly all the games remember North Korea nearly causing upset against Portugal,1970 great world cup with Brazil we all wanted to be Pele or Jariziniho at school,Pele made the best lay off ever against England taking out 4 players to set up Jariziniho. 1974 bet on Holland to win world cup at 8-1 only for pesky Germans to beat them Cruyff outstanding in that world cup.

In 1974 you could not make a single bet except with an illegal bookmaker....it was trebles only. |

Brazil with Eder and Socrates. Bryan Robson scoring after 27 seconds. Battiston/Schumacher. Gerry Armstrong. The Adidas Tango ball. But most of all, John Helm commentating and sounding like he was doing it from a phone box outside the stadium 😁 |

I have been betting on football since 1974 and i know that in the 70's and 80's you could not do singles even on outrights, it was a "minimum treble" rule. Think single betting on football was allowed about 1984. www.bestbettingsites.com/uk/football/history/#:~:text=The%201960%20Act%20legalised%20gambling,few%20years%20to%20catch%20on. |

When it comes to Saint & Greavsie I always think of the League cup draw with Donald Trump. With the immortal lines 'Donald you don't realize what you've just done'.

Most kind, not planning on checking out just yet and trying to get on a clinical trials. Still well but the cloud gets darker. Oncologist told me yesterday he would be "very surprised" if i was alive in 6 months. 6 years ago i was told i would die and i was oh so very nearly cured. I fear leaving those i love and want to continue to support. What use money, or work, or ego now? Mark Twain “I do not fear death.

Esso Coins,
Was cleaning the attic out the other week and found mine. All coins there but the blue cover is ripped. Also found one with metal stickers on it with all the English and Scottish teams on it from Esso as well. Probably from around 1972.

Brilliant and how prescient when Greavsie presents Trump with a mug and later says "not even the President of the USA would get one of those mugs"! |

Found a London 2012 t-shirt only yesterday with the tags still on it...they made way too many! I did only lose pips after trading out early, think we went 10 days before our first gold. It was the cyclists, think we got 9 in a non-sport by having the best bikes and full-time training with a £2 mill budget. They might as well have been on steroids for all the extra help they got. Wont be seeing the like again, everyone caught up. |

Euro 80 is the first tournament I remember watching, Am sure I had the Panini book too but who didn't in them days as a 9 year old.
Scrapping galore in the stadiums when England played, The Van der Kerkofs for Holland, The Danes and Morten Olsen being exciting to watch, Roberto Bettaga looking as old as my grandad and the West Germans always seemingly unbeatable.
But yes 82 was the best as an 11 year old, Ace kits, Brazil, Keegan, Scotland, Norn Iron, Austria & West Germany, And wanting Italy to win the final, All we did all that summer holiday was re-enact the matches, every day, Massive bottle of ready to drink dilute pop, the hotter the weather the more it was like playing in Spain.
I also had a poster of 82 with England fans in one of the grounds and clearly remember one fan sporting a MASSIVE black eye.

Oti - Your long time buddy did tell a great tale a while ago of how the England fans were warmly welcomed in Bilbao, So much so a load of them adopted the Basque flag as well as the Union flag.
But the waving of Basque flags didn't go down too well in Madrid lol.
