In 2008, he said that it was because his family was almost kidnapped a year before and that he couldn't have concentrated properly for the tournament. Something along the lines of "You have to be 200% concentrated" or some shit like that.
It was Van Hanegem, actually. Cruijff had a good reason, Hanegem didn't. Cruijff quit his interland career in early '78. Hanegem played again after '78.
1995 was the last time Ireland played England in an international game. It was a friendly at Landsowne Road in Dublin. Ireland took the lead midway through the first half.
an english hooligan group went to the match. combat 18 or some retards like that. After Ireland scored they started tearing up the seats and throwing them on the pitch and into the fans below them. Eventually the irish police came in and absolutely kicked the shit out of them. I love watching the footage of them beating up the hooligans and all the scum leaving the ground covered in blood lol.
