Gabriel Gatehouse

But just before the quarterfinal, Gordon Banks falls ill.

He gets food poisoning, as you do in Mexico, right?

I've been to Mexico.

I don't know if you guys have been to Mexico, but you get ill there.

It happens.

He gets food poisoning.

He can't play.

It's the quarterfinal against West Germany.

They put on a reserve goalie, Peter Bonetti.

He squanders a 2-0 lead.

The game ends 3-2.

England crash out and it's kind of the start of 60 years of hurt, this kind of dysfunctional relationship that England have with their national team, where we always think we ought to win, but we're always rubbish.

Right.

So I'm a I'm a fair weather like I watch.

I watch a World Cup because I like a World Cup, but I don't support a league team or whatever.

I'm a very much a kind of second tier football supporter.

You did that great podcast about conspiracy theories in America.
