Che gol alla "cippirimerlo" quello di Rossi!

Austriachi rimasti di sasso, con un palmo di naso!

Who was that Austrian defender who let Rossi score? What was he thinking? All he had to do was hoof the ball away, but he seemed to be attempting to run with the ball, taking on Rossi. Fool. I love the 1978 Italy squad, though. Great shirts, too. I have a Toff's replica of Scirea's number 8 long-sleeve.

Must be Heinrich Strasser, it was his first game at the 78 CM. Think we was little bit nervous at the beginning ;-)

[GordonMorrice]

Thanks for that info, Claudio. Austria had a very good team in 1978, Krankl was a great striker and their win over West Germany is terrific.

[ClaudioAbraxas]

Yes, also Prohaska and Schachner played in this team. Both played in Italy later. In the preround they win against spain and sweden. Schachner shots the winning goal against spain which is also a classic - search for it at youtube.

Adidas was the uniform supplier of the Italian Squad that played in Argentina 78.

[GordonMorrice]

I have heard it was Erima. Do you have an original 1978 replica ahirt or a player's watchworn shirt that confirms it was manufactured by Adidas? It's a great shirt, the style of the numbers is awesome.

GordonMorrice,

It was Adidas. Unfortunately I don't have an actual shirt, but I attended several games and watched their practices at the Hindu Club.

Their gear was Adidas, and their home uniform didn't have the stripes on the arms, only the away did but I don't think they ever used it. Adidas basically supplied all the major teams, with the exception of Scotland (Umbro) and Austria (Puma).

You can see in this video some of Ital

[GordonMorrice]

You know, you're right. There's a video on YouTube where you see the Italy training top and it has the three stripes, so it was Adidas. My replica top has ran into the felt number, I might need to buy another! I have an original 1984 Bayern Munich top, Adidas three stripe, Commodore sponsor! I love those 1977-1984 Adidas shirts, such a cool design! Thanks for clarifying the facts, man. I love Spencer Davis Group and Booker T, too, btw!

GordonMorrice,

Colin Hodgkinson is probably the most underrated bass player ever, and Donald Dunn is very unorthodox, but he generated great bass lines.

[GordonMorrice]

"Duck" Dunn is one of the all-time greats. He played with another hero of mine, Neil Young, back in the 90s. Stevie Winwood was a great keyboard man and vocalist - does he still perform?

[wysiwyg248]

I have not heard about S. Windwood for a while, I am not sure if he still tours.

La musique un peu courte. Comme la défense autrichienne.
