The Odyssey: Argentina 78 Directors Cut

Based on true events. Loosely.

Hello

Do you fancy an epic tale? I think you do. In collaboration with Nutmeg I bring you the story of Scotland’s return from the World Cup of 1978 in Argentina. If you don’t already subscribe to Nutmeg then you should rectify that straight away. Absolute top quality writing on Scottish football and I have a regular feature in there too. Please take a look at their Substack.

And now please enjoy…..The Odyssey Argentina 78.

Our journey begins as Scotland have been officially pumped out the tourney. With stories of unrest in the camp and the Willie Johnstone scandal hanging about like a bad smell, beleaguered manager Ally McLeod and SFA Secretary Ernie Walker address the squad as they prepare to leave Alta Gracia, Cordoba.

I’m emotional after that.

Cheers

Keith
