Has there every been a World Cup for drama and intrigue than Argentina in 1978? I was 8 years
old and with England failing to qualify, I was beginning to believe that we were above such
tournaments, especially as the Scots were there again. By the age of 8 I was into my football big
time. So much so that I spent every waking hour playing the game.
What the hell happened? I've read a lot, watched a lot and listened to a lot about the 1978 World
Cup. And I still don't fully understand what happened? How a squad cheered to the rafters on their
departure could return shamed. How a football manager could be blamed for a nation turning down the
opportunity of self government.
