Eng v Pol 1973

You must have been searching Google for “national disasters” or “Boris Johnson“ as he is better known and the Facebook algorithm popped up that game.
 
This link just popped as a notification on YouTube.

I've just started to watch. God I feel old...

Love watching that game, remember been excited leading up to the game, probably one of the 1st England games I watched & feeling gutted after the game, we played so well, unfortuantly their keeper (the clown according to Cloughy) played better

I bought the ticket many years ago

I was 6 but still remember being gutted and understanding the ramifications.

Watching on a black and white tele as well.
 
Was this the infamous Norman Hunter 'non tackle' game and the one where Cloughie was a pundit and called their keeper a 'clown'
Felt bad after that game.
