Skip forward a few hours and the team is back in England, heading for the Sketchley Grange on the M69. A meeting has been called by the manager – and he’s had time to stew on it.

O’Neill arrived an hour late, a tactic many of the players believe was designed to increase the tension before the moment the patter of his footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

“Then he’d just come through,” Walsh explains. “He tore his jacket off and threw it on the floor. He went mad!”

Elliott continues: “Martin was tearing strips off every player and at the end of it he said: ‘Oh, there’s one more thing... Marshy, never phone my phone again.’ He said: ‘You’re not a good enough player to call my phone!’ That just killed him. Marshy’s head just dropped down. ‘Yes, gaffer! Yes, gaffer!’

“Big, brave Marshy had sobered up!”

I love throwing this trivia out but can you name the player who played in that game who is still playing professionally today? Without consulting google of course.

You’d have to be talking a goalkeeper, Steff Oakes who was a youngster then would have to be in his 40s now.

So, I’m going Tranmere’s goalkeeper - though I have no idea without googling who that was.
