I was there the night we beat the Czechs to qualify for 1974 in West Germany. Also when we crushed them 3-1 in 1977 but that just led to Argentina…
But then I was also there the night we were comfortably beating Wales, although it was just 1-0, till Willie Donnachie passed it back to Jim Blyth who wasn’t in his goals. Or the time against Austria, again 1-0, till Roughie laid it on a plate for Krankl…
And after the embarrassment of being the worst side in the tournament two years ago, DoofersDad wonders why we’re so negative 😂

I was curious as to what happened to the various players who Terry decided he didn't want. Here's what I've found.
Recent Trialists
Callum Morris (ex-Newcastle and Ireland U21 defender) - Blyth Spartans
Darren Lough (left back, ex-Newcastle) - Ashington AFC
Andy Milne (ex-Leeds) - signed for Barrow, but soon got loaned out to Gainsborough Trinity
Samuel Oji - still unattached as far as I can see. He was the one who seemed very injury prone, and never featured for us in any friendlies.
Gary Mackay Steven - still unattached as far as I can see. He was the other one who seemed very injury prone.
Players Released
Dan Stratford - Hereford (League 2)
Robert Eagle - Grimsby (Conference)
Nauris Bulvitis - FK Ventspils (Latvia)
Jamie Duff - Elgin
Lionel Djebi-Zadi - no idea. I suspect he's playing non-league somewhere in France.
Andrew Barrowman - gave up on football altogether
Feel free to correct or add to this, or to go back further than last season.
All in all though, I don't think Terry will be losing any sleep that he let a star slip through his hands.
