'Easy, Easy' was recorded the previous day (Sunday 17 February). It was penned by Phil Coulter and Bill Martin, the songwriters-for-hire duo also responsible for 'Back Home', the 1970 England World Cup squad's rousing singalong.

From the Glasgow Herald, 13 February 1978, reports of a Dutch plan to include Johan Cruyff in their World Cup squad but only fly him over to Argentina should Holland make the semi-finals. Had it happened, would it have helped or hindered the Dutch cause? What say you, @BlogEFI?
