Len Cantello never played in a World Cup, I take it?

He never actually played, but Alex Stepney made the 1970 England World Cup Squad for the finals...

From Wikipedia....


Ramsey kept Stepney in his thoughts in his preparations for England's defence of the 1970 World Cup, for which England didn't have to qualify due to their status as holders, but didn't give him another cap as the likes of Bonetti and West added to their meagre tallies of appearances. However, when the preliminary squad of 27 was announced, Stepney was in, along with Banks, Bonetti and uncapped rookie Peter Shilton, with no sign of West. When the final 22 who would travel to Mexico was confirmed, Shilton was the goalkeeper sent home.

Nevertheless, Stepney was clearly the third choice goalkeeper in the squad and the chances of his appearing on the pitch in Mexico were negligible. When Banks went down with food poisoning prior to the quarter final with West Germany, it was to the slightly more experienced Bonetti – who had six caps to Stepney's one – whom Ramsey turned. England squandered a two goal lead to lose 3–2 and it was Stepney who told the groggy, ill Banks the scoreline in his hotel room by holding up three fingers on one hand and two on the other.

A colleague of mine was at a Sportsmans Dinner with Alex Stepney in Essex recently and as a keen United fan he had a chat with the former Alty stalwart.

"what is your biggest regret?" he asked.  Two hours later Stepney was still raving about Bonetti being picked ahead of him for the West Germany game!

Chris Waddle played at Moss Lane for Worksop Town. I promise I haven't made that up.


I remember that game. Waddle hardly moved all game and still outplayed everyone on the pitch.

That's how I remember it - he was a class act... probably the most I've enjoyed watching an ex top level player at Moss Lane.
