Does anyone remember the famous clip of the Norweigian commentator reeling off the list of famous English folk (Lord Nelson, Henry cooper etc) and then telling us all that we took a 'Hell of a beating'?
Anyone know if this clip is on t'internet anywhere?

We wanna go somewhere else. We're not threatened by people anymore. All our insecurities have evaporated. We're in the clouds now. We're wide open. We're spacemen orbiting the earth. The world looks beautiful from here, man.

Don't know where to find it on the internet though. Baddiel and Skinner did a piss take of it, when doing a Phoenix from the Flames of a Dutch game... Essentially the same commentary, but with a dubious list of 'Dutch' celebrities... ending with Dick van Dyck |

I've just asked my Norwegian housemate, Knut (no laughing!) if he can track it down on MP3. |

Anyone know if this clip is on t'internet anywhere? I remember that from watching it on TV as a young kid. And losing 2-1 to them was a much bigger shock in those days than it would be now; that was the first time they had ever beaten us. It was a strange qualifying group as two games previously we lost 2-1 away to Switzerland and the gloom and doom merchants were out; then we went and won 3-1 in Hungary. Then we lost in Norway but a 1-0 home win against Hungary put us through to the 82 world cup. |

I have to admit I was actually at the game. Thee were a bunch of Scotsman in the row in front, they went mental when Norway scored (twice) and when the final whistle went. Overall, Norway deserved to win.
England went one up and then stopped playing. It loked like a formality after the first goal went in. Ron Greenwood dropped his duty free on the way back, just about summed it all up. I seem to remember about four Liverpool players in the England team. They played better for their club.
