Went into one of the bedrooms in my house this morning and there in the middle of the floor was an ESSO World Cup squad coin of Allan Clarke. Very odd as the complete collection is tucked away in the attic. Is this some kind of sign? Only this morning I spotted in a distant field a horse with 8 legs and 2 heads.

says on his Wiki page he remains the last England player to make his international debut in a World Cup finals match. Interesting bit of trivia.

Is it definitely Allan Clarke the footballer?

Just that I need Allan Clark to complete my Esso collection of coins depicting Tory politicians who left office ignominiously during the 1990s...

curiously in Alan Pride's race there's plenty of money coming in for Channon's horse Playboy Bay. No form at all.
Did Channon and Clarke play for England together? Weren't they the same position? Might be a more subtle sign I'm thinking.

I'd have been delighted with an Allan Clarke Esso coin. I thought he was great at the time.
But no..."It's another Jeff Astle"...

haha yes Tommy it was like that wasn't it. Brain Labone was my elusive prize as I recall.

On Sultanina in the next simply for name sake value but of course Gosden trains her.
