How far could Sir Alf's boys have gone in that World Cup had they beaten Poland? Could he have stayed on as manager had he achieved success? What does this mean for Don Revie and Leeds? Or Brian Clough for that matter.
I'm not so certain about Brazil. They did lose to Poland after all. Netherlands would have been stronger though, I do agree. But a top four finish would have had huge butterflies on the rest of the 70's.
