United condemned to Division 2.
First time I've ever watched the highlights.

I remember this match, a 2-0 defeat in Rome in November of that year. A bad start to the World Cup campaign that ultimately cost qualification. It's the first World Cup I remember.

Jason is a former actor with a balding head, that l suspect many of you will know. He will talk to anybody who offers him a job ! I first bumped into him many years ago at an event in Syndey at the Darlinghurst Harbour to celebrate Australia Day, and that habit has not continued regularly now...
