as far as the Cameroon '90 / Billy Ocean football story goes -
my own favourite delusional football memory is that in injury time at the end of 1992 UEFA Cup
Final Swede Stefan Pettersson of Ajax (who won 2-2 on away goals) threw the ball away to waste time
then a Torino player punched Pettersson in the fore arm and broke his arm putting him out of Euro '92 in
his home country !
when I looked at the match on you tube over 20 years the reailty was very different:
Pettersson did suffer a badly hurt his arm in injury time BUT it was after falling awkwardly at the corner flag after being fouled. AND I can find no evidence it was a fracture and it seems he was just wasn't selected for the Swedish squad for Euro 92.
that was a hell of a lot of sexing up !
