Hodge & Beardsley ripped Poland & Paraguay a new one so he'd deserved to keep his place. i take it back - your memory is clearly fading. in fact barnes didn't play in the opening two games. the appearance off the bench was his first of the tournament. old cunt 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Monkeys Fist 7,400 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Doug Scott- 79. The first Englishman to stand on the summit of Everest, and an absolute legend in the climbing world. The story of his descent of the Ogre after snapping both legs at the shin is gut wrenching, and well worth reading. Decent obit here which mentions his work in later life in Nepal.

Alex 5,903 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) RIP. That was my first World Cup (that I can remember anyway). Everyone (including me) has fond memories of Brazil and the French in that World Cup but that Italy team played some great stuff as the tournament progressed. No age at all either.
