Who made this video? Do you know what you have done? You have chronicled the playing careers of three of the most talented players ever to play the game. Currie, Hudson and Bowles - not good enough for England (judging by the caps they won) but good enough for Brazil or even better.

@@Steaks652 England picked a scratch team v West Germany with some of these players in it (just after Ramsey stepped down) and they murdered the Germans. I think there is a vid of it on YT. Just checked; It was a game in 1975 at Wembley and it IS on YT. Check it out.

That banana shot of TC's always gives me a tingle. At one stage the interviewer calls them "misfits" they weren't they were mavericks totally different in comparison. In the case of Alan Hudson. Dave Sexton branded both him and Peter Osgood as anti-discipline when really they were just two individuals. All of these mercurial players had they been picked regularly for England and nurtured in the right way would most likely have seen the national team at both the 74 & 78 World Cups. But oh no ! especially in Revie's case he thought he knew differently and look how it ended for him.

Super talented team,would get beat 10-3 by any bog standard competently coached International opposition. That front 6, not 1 is tracking back or tackling anyone. Also, the thing with players like bowles etc is they have to be the main man, the whole team built around them, that team you've got 6 of those types in the same team.

Modern Football is too fast paced due primarily to the players being athletes first footballers second. Terrible Injuries are now common because of that fact Watching Hudson Bowles and Currie play and thrive on the pitches in the 70s prove that the best way to acknowledge great players is to make playing the game as difficult as possible i.e Bad pitches , old style refereeing - the cream always rise to the top

A funny story about Stan Bowles I was told by my uncle who was a QPR supporter. Stan Bowles had just left QPR for Nottingham Forest grab the time where the European champions under Brian Clough. Stan Bowles comes out of the City Ground in Nottingham and gets a cab all the way to White City in London to go to the digs on a Saturday night which was Stan Bowles second home. Apparently when the taxi driver pulls up at the Old White City Stadium which was just down the road from QPR ground he said that will be something like£ 60 or even as much as £100 pounds and Stan Bowles said that's travelling.
