To be fair, Franny Lee did go for the occasional dive!

The goal he was blamed for took a slight deflection if you look closely. Should have done a bit better but not the howler it appears at first.gkbill wrote: ↑14 Apr 2020, 1:13pmHello,101Walterton wrote: ↑13 Apr 2020, 7:28pmTalk about a low defensive line how much space on the Pitch especially England’s second goal!!
Peter felt he got a lot of grief for the game and felt very much like he let the side down. The criticism is a bit unfair - first goal was under him but not much to do about the others.
The backstory doesn’t help him. Didn’t know he was playing (didn’t have a bench back then either) until 1 hour before kick off as Banks had passed a fitness test that morning.Heston wrote: ↑14 Apr 2020, 1:23pmThe goal he was blamed for took a slight deflection if you look closely.
