I'm watching a BBC documentary on the England national team from '66 to '00 on Youtube. My favourite part so far is Rodney Marsh talking about how he and Alf Ramsey never got on, and he says Ramsey told him that the next match was gonna be his last chance for England. He told him that he was going to watch him for the first 45 minutes and if he didn't work hard he was gonna pull him off at half time.
He says his response was "Christ. At City we only get a cup of tea and an orange." And he never played for England again.
