Well before his time though. The team in question won their match 5-1 and the player in question had a hand in all five goals - scored twice with three assists..
His team once famously beat Real Madrid 1-0 in a testimonial match at the Bernabeu in front of 120,000 fans - and his performance had the Madrid fans shouting Ole whenever he touched the ball in the second half.
You're spot on - Jimmy Johnstone, the man who kept Stewart Scullion out of the Scottish team... Over to you.
Cheers BB. What do FC Cologne, Benfica, Lazio, Dynamo Dresden and Go Ahead Eagles Deventer all have uniquely in common
Crystal Palace have thought about the possibility of joining this exclusive list but didn't do it and so Pete still has a job !! The strongest warning should be given to Hull City if they ever come up with ideas like this.
I should say that Crystal Palace were once on this list but chose not to rejoin (out of respect). Lazio paid Benfica €150,000 for the privilege of being on the list.
So, to summarize. FC Cologne,Benfica, Lazio Rome, Eintracht Frankfurt and Go Ahead Eagles Deventer all have something in common (and Dynamo Dresden - unofficially). Crystal Palace were once also a part ofr this group of clubs. Watford would find it very difficult to follow this trend so Harry's job is safe. For Hull City to follow this trend could be a major security risk.
Anything to do with club mascots? Eintracht Frankfurt have a live eagle and FC Cologne have a live goat as their mascots - not sure about the clubs mentioned though. Watford would find it particularly difficult given the size of a real hornet...
https://youtu.be/G89r9tP1Lt0?si=YVqmrmeYdTvPLZZzv All yours BB. All the clubs mentioned have living animal mascots. Crystal Palace used to have an eagle called Kayla who circled the stadium on match days but she died, aged 28, of a heart attack and they didn't replace her. The most famous eagle is Vitoria the eagle who does the same function at Benfica - she has a non flying (on match days) apprentice called Victor. Eintracht Frankfurt have Attila who circles the stadium the evening before matches, and Deventer use a sea eagle. Lazio were so impressed by the exhibition at Benfica that they paid the club €150,000 for an eagle. FC Cologne just has a billy goat who is afraid of the ball (in common with the team). For Hull City (the tigers) having a living mascot would obviously be a bit scary.
That's one but perhaps surprisingly there are more. And when I say "played for Watford", that doesn't necessarily mean the first team.
