    There is colour footage of 1970, but 1974 was the first shown live on TV in colour, I googled it again as I had thought I was sure, I remember seeing it on the official FIFA film...check it out here http://www.worldcupsoccer.com/1974.htm

    The group was decided by how many goals could Brazil, Yugoslavia and Scotland score to defeat Zaire. Every other game played in the group was drawn so the three top teams finished with four points each. ??

    Thats all I can gauge from the groups, I have no other further ideas and need to avoid this thread cause these things do my head in after a while.

    He was a sub for England. Well he was an unused sub in the final I am pretty sure.

    He was more than a sub. He broke something and was basically forgotten about.

    Funny story about Greaves: Had to google it to get the full story.

    In the 1962 World Cup finals match against Brazil in Chile, a stray dog ran on to the pitch and evaded all of the players' efforts to catch it until Greaves got down on all fours to beckon the animal. Though successful in catching the dog, it proceeded to urinate all over Greaves' England shirt. The Brazilian player Garrincha thought the incident was so amusing that he took the dog home as a pet.
