So Jimmy did not play in the return game.
Have to dig out my programme
the "programme" was a single A4 sheet of paper printed in black and white with a picture of their double winning side on it. I've still got it. Bob Wilson got some fearful abuse but a few years later he lost his daughter to cancer and I've got to admit I did really feel for him.

In 1975 the Harlem Globetrotters were doing a UK tour and as a one off special, a basketball game was organised against a team of goalkeepers. JC was there with Ray Clemence, Phil Parkes, Bob Wilson and others. I think it was shown on the BBC. I remember it anyway so it happened.
