You need to acclimatise.
So Alf Ramsey, who is the manager of the England team, decides what he's going to do is before the World Cup in Mexico, he's going to take the team to a place that's even higher than Mexico and get them to play a few friendlies there so that they can get used to the altitude.
And the place he chooses is Colombia.
So the players all go out there and they get to their hotel waiting for their rooms to be made ready.
And Bobby Moore and another player go into this hotel boutique, a jewelry shop.
It specializes in emeralds.
It's called Fuego Verde, Green Fire.
They go in there, they have a look around.
They may be thinking about getting something for their wives back home, but they don't see anything they like and they leave.
And so they're back out in the lobby sitting around waiting for their rooms to get ready when suddenly the shop assistant from the boutique runs out and starts shouting in Spanish about a missing bracelet.
And she runs up to the England players and she points her finger at Bobby Moore.
And the police are called and the players are made to turn out their pockets.
They kind of look under the sofas.
Nobody finds a bracelet.
There's no bracelet.
And the accusation just sort of goes away.
England play their friendly against Colombia.
They win.
They then go on to Ecuador to play another friendly at an even higher altitude.
And then they're supposed to go on to Mexico to start the World Cup.
