    in the 1950 World Cup Finals.

    There is a reason that FIFA would not let India play in the 1950 World Cup Finals, forcing them to withdraw, what the devil was that reason?

            Sadly, I think I know this…..didn’t the Indians want to play bare-footed and Fifa refused to allow them to?

                The ones I knew have been answered :(

                I knew the footballer, boxer and golfer, and I knew vaguely who the swimmer (or why he was famous at least) was but couldn’t for the life of me tell you his name, and if you’d asked even less could I have told you his country (although I do know the continent ;) )

                  Who said this :o

                  These ex-pros see footballers being treated as mini-celebrities, earning ridiculous money, and it gets to them because they didn’t get the same wages in their day. It’s not our fault — we just came into the game in a good time. But they’re desperate to criticise us. They might have had successful careers, with lots of medals, but they seem bitter because they don’t have much else to show for it. Some of the criticism is fair and that’s OK, of course, but I think there’s more to it than that.

                    Was it because they out-sourced it and couldn’t play by phone?
