fanimal Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Possibly some deja vu coming up on Tuesday October 15th, brings back memories of 1973, England had to win against a 'clown' in goal! Step up Artur Boruc!! Was Shilton a Saints player at the time?
CWD Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 For the younger chaps among us, what happened in 1973?
Window Cleaner Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 For the younger chaps among us, what happened in 1973? Polish bloke who Clough described as a clown stopped everything we could throw at him for 90 minutes at Wembley, a really amazing performance, some fantastic saves. Went to the game myself, England had about 100 chances with Chivers,Channon and Clarke in attack, bloke saved them all, some of them pretty miraculous, must be some UTube footage of it somewhere. here you go,
Hatch Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Same keeper let one in against San Marino last night, their first goal since 1,000,000 years BC
BotleySaint Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Same keeper let one in against San Marino last night, their first goal since 1,000,000 years BC Poor chaps, on the wiki page it has a section for Draws and Victory (singular!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marino_national_football_team One guy has actually scored 8 goals for them.
Saint Mikey Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Isn't S'Chesney Hawkes their No 1 anyway?

Step up Artur Boruc!! Was Shilton a Saints player at the time? Only 9 years too early. He was at Stoke at the time. Then Forest in 1977 before us.
Micky Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Jan Tomaswepski or whatever his bloody name is..... couldn't name you any other Polish player..... but he is forever ingrained...... bloody awful night...... The Clown..... never again....
skintsaint Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Wouldn't worry, I think we will be qualified by then.
Window Cleaner Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Jan Tomaswepski or whatever his bloody name is..... couldn't name you any other Polish player..... but he is forever ingrained...... bloody awful night...... The Clown..... never again.... you've forgotten the other unforgettable Polish player from that era Wlod Lubanski, destroyed England all by himself in the away fixture.
fanimal Posted 11 September, 2013 Author Posted 11 September, 2013 It would be ironic though if Lambert had to score past Boruc to get England to qualify! I bet poor old Mick Channon still has nightmares about that evening, spooky that its nearly the same date as well, 15th instead of the 17th!

The Clown..... never again.... I was there and also the month before when we stuffed Austria 7-0. Used all our goals/luck up in the wrong game. As my first WC was 66 followed by a decent showing in 70 it was inconceivable that we wouldn't qualify.
Window Cleaner Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 And a shame to see the FA hasn't changed in those 40 years! Indeed, Hunter was selected instead of both Bobby Moore and the far more elegant and cultured Colin Todd, Hunter gave the ball away for their goal, Tomazewski wouldn't have mattered but for that monumental error. Todd wouldn't have lost that ball.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Same keeper let one in against San Marino last night, their first goal since 1,000,000 years BC No wonder Tomazewski must be almost 70 years old by now
dubai_phil Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 This is NOT going to end well. As I have posted before. The wife is a Saints Fan. She is also Polish. Bonkers Boruc is a National Treasure for being, well, Boruc. God if it is a Winner takes all situation......... still have nightmares about John Motson's commentary even today Didn't somebody lose the ball over on the side by the Royal Box and before you could say Nooooo the ball was in our net? (Hunter by above accounts)

(Hunter by above accounts) Yup scored by Domarski I recall who became the Polish treasure of his time (not quite as famous as Lubanski!)
farawaysaint Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Disclaimer: The below image in no way represents my view of the Polish people... I just really like the polandball meme.
LostBoys Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 I was there - their keeper was a joke but had a night that is a one off - he dived the wrong way for one shot and it hit him on the ass and went over the bar. From memory Mick Channon missed 5 easy chances
Essruu Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 I picked him up from the airport this morning when he returned from Italy. I can tell you he had a big grin when talking about the upcoming match. He wasn't aware that Rickie had played the whole game last night and hopes they face each other. To say he is looking forward to the match is very much an understatement!

david in sweden Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Some of those saves were things he didn't even know about..like a shot hitting his body, when he was laying on the ground and the ball going over the bar. Hitting his knee when he fumbled it and rolling to safety .and the stuff he missed (and there were a few of those).....were cleared by defenders around him. Probably one of the most one-sided matches I've ever seen; the shot tally was .....41-3 . (yes forty-one). Poland scored from a breakaway , England got a penalty and the final score was 1-1.. when we needed to get a win. We failed to go to the Finals and Poland went instead and went out at the group stage. URRRRRGH !

Turkish Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 I follow Arthur Borucs career closely and saw him play in a match for Southampton v arsenal in December. He was awful, spilt every cross, looked out of shape, nervous and couldn't catch a cold. If lambert can't score at least four against this CLOWN he is not international standard.
Saint Billy Posted 11 September, 2013 Posted 11 September, 2013 Wasn't Tony Curry playing that night and fired in a 30 yard thunderbolt which either the keeper saved or it hit the woodwork?

What does your "friend" say about him? Wasn't Tony Curry playing that night and fired in a 30 yard thunderbolt which either the keeper saved or it hit the woodwork? Yes and its Currie. (Made me feel quite hungry that has.)
david in sweden Posted 12 September, 2013 Posted 12 September, 2013 They won their group, and finished second in the "semi-final" group. They beat Brazil to finish 3rd. Um.....failing memory - wrong World Cup..I missed that one - didn't I ? Obviously the goalie comtinued his "clown act "....
Norm Posted 12 September, 2013 Posted 12 September, 2013 Omg, 40 years ago and that 'clowns' name will never going leave my memory box! The game could have lasted another week and England would not have scored! He just had one of those incredible nights.
Charlie Wayman Posted 12 September, 2013 Posted 12 September, 2013 No wonder Tomazewski must be almost 70 years old by now About the same as Boruc then?
Window Cleaner Posted 12 September, 2013 Posted 12 September, 2013 They won their group, and finished second in the "semi-final" group. They beat Brazil to finish 3rd. They probably would have made the final if it were not for the horrific tackle by Roy McFarland on Lubanski, put him out for about 2 years IIRC.
Turkish Posted 12 September, 2013 Posted 12 September, 2013 What does your "friend" say about him? Yes and its Currie. (Made me feel quite hungry that has.) If only you were young and guaranteed to improve as well there might be a place for you in our squad.
tpbury Posted 12 September, 2013 Posted 12 September, 2013 Wasn't Tony Curry playing that night and fired in a 30 yard thunderbolt which either the keeper saved or it hit the woodwork? Currie was MLT of his day, in terms of style - at least he made me follow Leeds as a nipper coz of the way he played.
