Great WIs in sports.

1970 If Gordon Banks had played...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that there's a really detailed timeline that has been based on this....:

To quote from page 16, for example:

8th June 1977 - Dublin

"You'd better see this, sir." Taoiseach Jack Lynch rubbed his eyes as he woke from his slumber.
"What's happening?" he looked at his alarm clock. "It's four in the morning man."
"There's been some shootings, senior IRA men in Dublin."
"There have been shootings forever. Why on earth are you waking me up?"
"British troops were doing the shooting, sir. SAS men."
"British troops, you say? Mary, Mother of God, there's going to be trouble now."
