Watching Alf Ramsay's plan B against Brazil in 1970 - give the ball to Terry Cooper & watch him lump it up to Jeff Astle - I couldn't help think that there was a certain Everton winger who could flight a cross better & from much nearer the Brazil box than the England no 3, fine player that he was...
Now I'm in the (I can't say cold coz its actually 26, but anywho) light of a boxing day morning, I remember we had two chances in the the 2nd half.
One fell to Ball, which Astle, going on his goal in 68 would've maybe buried and one fell to Astle, who lacked Balls quick feet.
No matter anyway as we went through in the group.
The main downfall was Ramsey ( besides not taking Kendall over Mullery and Osgood over Astle) taking off Charlton - this let Beckenbaur push forward and thus put pressure on the defence and the hapless Bonetti.

Westie later said..."The wife said she'd divorce me if I went, I should've gone - as she divorced me anyway."
