Back on 3 January 1973 to celebrate the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland & Denmark joining the EEC, a match was held at Wembley between the 3 (UK, Republic of Ireland & Denmark) and the 6 ( West Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium & Luxembourg). The 6 winning 2-0.
Wonder if any plans have been made for a return fixture after 31 October, the 27 v 1?
Be interesting to see the line ups if such a match went ahead.
Back in 1973 only 4 players were playing for clubs outside their country of nationality ( assuming UK was one country).
Jensen of Denmark played for a West Getman club
Johnny Giles of RoI played for Leeds and
Blankenburg, a German played for Ajax.
Olsen playing for Utrecht & Denmark

Spen665 is thrashing around trying to change perception of his typically niggly and patronising approach to boarding.

It's like watching Jimmy Savile trying to convince himself he likes hair.

Just to point out that Savile was never actually convicted of any crimes against hair.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 2:44 pmContrifibulatoryFred wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:43 am Spen665 is thrashing around trying to change perception of his typically niggly and patronising approach to boarding.
