Preben Elkjaer

That man is still treated as a hero here in Verona, and rightly so, espescially for the goal he scored after losing a boot, not too many other teams the size of Verona have won the scudetto.

OT. People are constantly telling me that Joe Jordan lived about 2mins from where I live now during his short spell with Hellas

This goal against Scotland , 13 minutes into the game in Mexico 86.. Aye it was hot out there but a patheric effort from Scotland to close down.

This is a decent book on the Danish team of '86... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Danish-Dynamite-Story-Footballs-Greatest/dp/1408844842

Idraettens Hus. Even the name sounds cold, bleak and forbidding. It had all the warmth and humanity of a prison. After years staying at the delightful Hotel Marina, with its lovely food and view of the sea, this was a significant culture shock. There were no TVs or phones in the players" rooms, and those coming from abroad had to scrabble about for the right coins to call home. The mattresses were on the gossamer side of thin. So was the players" patience. They hated it.

The coach, Sepp Piontek, theorised that hardship would beget hardness. "I could see that the last thing was not there," he says. "That last: you have to do this, you have to qualify. It was something in the Danish mentality." The players had taken liberties, so Piontek took their liberty away. "All of a sudden we had to be punished," says Søren Busk. "I remember there weren't TVs in the rooms and when you flushed the toilet it sounded like it sucked all the way from below. "Swhooossh", it said. We had become too spoiled so we ended up in the concrete building, which was fine because we shouldn't think that the trees grow into the sky."

Sounds like one of those players that'd turn up in FIFA 09. Back when the computer would just throw together some names for the new youngsters generated.

You'd end up with guys called stuff like Barry Lima de Muller and he'd be from Northern Ireland.

Loads of British Islanders though moved to Argentina and Uruguay over the years though. There was a Uruguayan player about 15 years ago called Fabian O'Neill. Think the Argentina teams of the 80s also had someone called Brown on the squad.

That's brilliant, "Despite the Scottish name which confused some commentators, Mac Allister was fully Argentine. " I think there may be a bit of Scottish in there somewhere ;)

I remember reading an article on MacAllister years back in World Soccer. They asked him if he knew anything about his Scottish heritage and he had no clue whatsoever (someone show him pictures of Scots :lol: ) He was a driving force for Boca (I think?) in their league title quest. Kind of a, I hate to say, Bomber Broon type player. Represented Argentina, if I remember correctly, but not at any tournaments.
