    Ah ok. I'd never heard the story before.

    And they're in the FA Vase final this year -- which I guess is maybe why the story's running now.

    Not true though is it? It wasnt the World Cup, it is considererd by some as a precursor to it.

    Ok, yes I should have put the World Cup bit in inverted commas in the title. Apologies if you've been misled. You don't get the money back for the wasted time.

    The story was told in a TV drama in the 1980's with Dennis Waterman featuring.
