[St Albans Blade]

Saw this photo in an Amercian news article today, must admit made me giggle thinking of the Blades talent that went on to play with the likes of Pelé , Beckenbauer and Chinaglia etc...

Pretty sure it's ex blade, Tony Field on the right and played in the Cosmos team with Pele and Beckenbauer.

My brother never quite recovered from the shock of "Garbage and Gracie" - as he referred to Garbett and Field - playing alongside Pele.

Must have been a bit weird for Bobby Moore playing against England?
Ken Furphy managed Team USA in that game. Scullion scored but England won 3-1 IIRC.

This is like finding out that something you always assumed to be true, correct, and other things, is not any of the above. I am traumatised!

9 looks like David Frain, 11 seems like John Flood, but I'm really clutching at straws, do tell who are this famous foursome?!?
