We had a forumite by the same name, never understood where it came from - now I know Cry

Can't find the actual video online which is strange but remember it well.

My 2nd attempt. Posted this but seems lost in space.

I was at that WC. Scotland were the only undefeated team in the finals btw.
West Germany lost to East Germany whilst Scotland beat Zaire then drew with Brazil and Yugoslavia.
Billy Bremner got his feet in knots less than a yard out otherwise we might have went on to lift the trophy.
RIP fella, yer a legend.

By heck, what sad news.

RIP Ilunga.

Thanks for the great memories - from 1974 all the way through to the present day (one way and another).
