February
Franz Beckenbauer
played in what turned out to be his last ever International for West Germany in
a friendly loss in Paris vs. France (0-1).
In
a few months, hee would join the New York Cosmos of the NASL and be out of
international reckoning.
The World Cup
qualifiers in South America kicked off.
Diego Maradona
made his International debut for Argentina as a substitute in a win over
Hungary (5-1) on February 27th. He was 16 years and 4 months old
and became the second youngest ever Argentina International (Vicente Gonzalez
was just 16 years old when selected in 1921).
In the same
match, Dario Felman also came on as a substitute for Argentina. When later he joined Spanish
club Valencia, he did not reveal this, so that he could be eligible as a
naturalized Spaniard.
In
early 1980, Valencia learned of this and dismissed him for providing misleading
information.
Trevor Francis
made his International debut for England in a friendly at Wembley vs. Holland.
Holland
became the sixth continental team to win on against England (2-0) on English
soil.
