Have United ever played the reigning European Champions?

Apologies if I've told this story before. I was interpreting for the River Plate squad, along with a handsome postgraduate student. When they arrived at the hotel, they went straight in for something to eat, and we ended up sitting at a table with Luque, their superstar World Cup goalscorer, who was quite small, cross-eyed, and wore glasses off the pitch. A group of autograph hunters came in, took one look at me and one look at Luque, and decided definitely not. They then got the autograph of the postgrad student, who did not let on he was English. I have often wondered if his autograph has puzzled people over the years...

He does look a bit bozz-eyed in this pic

Probably helped him score goals. They talk about strikers 'giving the goalie the eye', I think that is the expression. No way the keeper could read his intention!

Saw Sabella in a car with Passarella driving away from John Street players entrance, the autograph hunters surrounded the car. I tapped on the window, Sabella wound down the car window and gave me a handshake after he and Passarella signed my programme! One of the River Plate players , Gonzales (I think) charmed a young lady Blade by coming out of the team coach and kissing her hand!

They were very interested in the young ladies. And one of the surprises was that Rattin, the pantomime villain in the English press in the 1966 World Cup, came across as a really good bloke.

Can you repeat the question?

You're not the Koz of me.
