Think this was a QF, certainly the most painful of the lot as I recall although may be because I was much younger and we had hopes/expectations of playing Brazil again in the final. Wasn't 1972 a qualifying game ? If so thought we lost one leg (at home),2-0 or 3-1. Edited 24 June, 2021 by Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
