I tell him what Alan Hudson, another whose talent and trickery illuminated the 1970s, once said to me, that the trio of him, Bowles and the similarly blessed Frank Worthington did not collectively get as many England caps as Carlton Palmer.

He said to me, 'If you go boss-eyed in the final, you've got a grand'. Well, I only stood to get 200 if we won the final, so I said, 'Certainly'.
