"This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."

Breakout Champion! The squad was actually 13.I gave up & Googled: Andy Beattie resigned because the SFA gave him a squad of 11 players. How tight is that?!?!
Breakout Champion! Want to ask a question, oh cheaty one?
Wikipedia reckon it was 11
Ok:
This has happened twice to date, once very famously, but before on an occasion of somewhat less renown in Anglophone countries. What am I talking about?
Something to do with 1966?
One of the occasions happened in 1966, yes.
Is it to do with the trophy going AWOL?One of the occasions happened in 1966, yes.
No.
Breakout Champion! Wikipedia's wrong. The eleven which played both games was
Fred Martin
Willie Cunningham
John Aird
Tommy Docherty
Jimmy Davidson
Doug Cowie
John Mackenzie
Allan Brown
Neil Mochan
Willie Fernie
Willie Ormond
and the other two members of the squad were Bobby Evans and George Hamilton.
Team vs. Austria and vs.Uruguay. Take a look at the given shirt numbers and then this.

No one? Ok, first clue:
When it happened in 1966 Jackie Milburn would've been very proud.

Actually, I'd never realised that Docherty and Ormond both played for Scotland, as well as managing them, so I learnt something useful there.
Still no-one?
Didn't think my clue was that cryptic!
Ok:
Wor Jackie was the uncle of the two players who achieved this in 1966
OK, so we're talking about 2 brothers in the winning side. Apart from the Charltons, I don't *think* that's happened in my lifetime and I'm too busy at present to check planetworldcup. Maybe one of the Italian sides in the 30's?Still no-one?
