Cracking find Walt.
It was the Vicente saga of it's time.
I had that panini sticker from the previous year so he was de facto my hero when the news broke.
The Muhren/Thyssen (sp?) of the Albion but a lot swarthier and more exotic.

It is a great website, updated regularly, and worth repeat visits. A real gem.

Great post. I remember Albion's interest in the Peruvian pair being mentioned after the '78 World Cup.

Did the Albion frequently play practice games there?

No, that is the only friendly that I recall, although they did train there once in a while...a foul mouthed bunch, pretty much all of them!

So you must be one of the very few Albion supporters to see these World Cup stars play for us. Do you remember much of their performances?

No, unfortunately I dont. I do remember it was a draw but thats about it...it was all supposed to be very "hush-hush", but the argus got wind of it and were taking photos through the back gate.
