But you sort of feel that the injury does Ramsey a favour because this Greaves question has been dragging on that I think people are starting to doubt.

He is a brilliant forward.

He is technically our best player.

He is this really elegant and graceful goal scorer and more besides.

I think people outside of London wonder whether London journalists overrate him.

I mean, you hear this said today.

It's obviously way more significant in those days where you don't have mass TV coverage.

So you're very reliant on the local journalists to give an accurate assessment of a player.

And we see today that journalists who watch a player week in, week out tend to be more sympathetic to them than those who see them only occasionally.

I'm not sure he would.

I think the fact that Ramsey plays him in that game in Kadavica, he plays him in, sorry, in Khrotsov.

I think the fact Ramsey plays him in that game in Khrotsov, the fact he plays Greaves in the three group games, I think he thinks Greaves is the right man.

He got 43 goals in 51 internationals, and that's a great record.

That's before the World Cup.

So I think it's been apparent really for six months, seven months, that Greaves is going to be a fault line.

There is going to be a decision that has to be made.

So after that, the 2-0 win in Spain in the December of 65, the game when Peter Lorenzo coins his term Wingless Wonders,

You know, he describes the victory that night, and this grieves Dovier didn't play.

He says, it's a thrilling victory, supreme in his tactical brilliance and mastery.

And yet the very next day, he's arguing, the headline is, England must recall luxury goal ace as soon as he's fit again.
