Really enjoyed the episode. Fascinating insight from @JBennettWriter. Ordered the book today. That Ireland side which missed out on Spain '82 was stacked with talent.
WE’RE BACK! I’m talking to @JBennettWriter about his new book – ‘No Show: The World Cup Teams That Never Were’, covering some of the teams who missed out on the tournament and some of the legendary players who never made it onto the great stage.

Difference being that substitutions were an relatively new concept for Ramsey.
These days, multiple substitutions are par for the course and sometimes key to the setting the tone for a match (as proven yesterday)
