A 4 way that in his lifetime....

1. Man would land on the moon
2. Britain would have a female Prime Minister
3. The USA would elect a black president
4. newcastle would win a trophy



mickey mouse ones that they didn't even qualify for don't count

Spugsy

we won the intertoto cup a few years ago man.

Sandboy

well iirc you were one of 3or4 that got a certificate

Spugsy

no we were the last remaining team in the uefa cup, so that made us the winners. And what a lovely trophy it, erm, is...

The Dean

Is he still alive? He could be a wealthy man..........

1968/69 - Inter Cities Fairs Cup (now known as the UEFA Cup).

In the final, Newcastle beat Ujpest Dozsa 6-2 on aggregate.........

Spugsy

my mate who is a Torquay fan tells me if you get relegated then you'll be in the same league as them, is this true?!?

Sandboy

doesn't count as they never even qualified for it

Spugsy

what?

The Dean

If you mean the mighty (!) Hatters, then yes..........

.......... but that assumes Torquay won't get promoted back into the Football League.

Is your mate known for undying pessimism??

The Dean

As Spugsy says: "What?"

You qualified then as you do now - either winning the League Cup or by league position.

Sandboy

they have never won the league cup and finished 13th in the league

they've been through more back doors than Julian Clary

The Dean

Well they still won the damn thing..........

.....but it does raise an interesting question: just how did teams qualify back then??

Spugsy

well we still won it you helmet.

Ditzy

do you think someone really did land on the moon then

i've got my doubts about that one..
