I wasn't around then but your version really makes it come to life. Just recently found this Bavaria Bier ad on YouTube which celebrates Arie Haan's thunder-bolt against the Azzuri. Really funny commercial... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc3rHlk5BfY Great account of 1978 Jan! I wasn’t around then but your version really makes it come to life.

Oh and your pic of Haan trying his best from close up is actually Kempes scoring his goal under Jongbloed. But as usual ! GREAT stuff !!
