Also what about the keeper who knocked Eng.out of the'74 World Cup(If only the 3 yr.old RMK had been a Tan).....Tom?????ski!

That'd be Jan Tomaszewski, which is still a swear-word in my in-laws' house. "Thirty years of hurt" and all that...

Dunno about you Dav, but we're in Poland for it's last day of 'independence'. Bit of history there as i can't remember when Britain joined the common market back in 73. It'll be like the last plane out of Saigon that morning before all the gitanos 'swamp' us (copyright: The Scum, Daily Mason, Daily Torygraph, The Spurt, etc.)
