(Poland squad, May 1, 1977, World Cup Qualifier, Denmark 1-Poland 2)

Notes:

-Match number 398 for Denmark and number 310 for Poland.

-This was the 10th meeting between the nations.

-The previous match between the nations, as well as the previous match on Polish soil and the previous Polish victory, was a friendly on September 2, 1970 that Poland won (5-0) at Warsaw.

Denmark player: Per Røntved and Polish players: Kazimierz Deyna and Włodzimierz Lubański were present that day (on the field and/or the substitutes bench).

Deyna and Lubanski scored for Poland in that match.

-The next match between the nations, as well as the next Polish win and the next match on Polish soil, was only a few months away during the Return leg of this qualifier on September 21, 1977 at Chorzow that Poland won (4-1).

Denmark players: Henning Munk Jensen, Røntved, Ahlberg, Sørensen, Heino Hansen, Lund, Flindt Bjerg and Jørgen Kristensen and Polish players: Tomaszewski, Wawrowski, Żmuda,  Maculewicz, Rudy, Kasperczak,  Deyna, Boniek, Masztaler, Nawałka, Lato, Lubański, Szarmach, Terlecki and Wieczorek were present that day (on the field and/or the substitutes bench).

Henning Munk Jensen and Kazimierz Deyna still captained their respective Nations.

Masztaler, Lato, Deyna and Szarmach scored Poland’s goals.          

Both sets of managers were still in charge.

Jan Sørensen and Zbigniew Boniek came on as substitutes in both matches.

-The previous match between the nations at the same venue, as well as Poland’s previous away win, was a Friendly on May 19, 1970 that Poland won 2 to 0.

Polish players: Kazimierz Deyna and Włodzimierz Lubański were present that day (on the field and/or the substitutes bench).

-The next match between the nations at the same venue, as well as Denmark’s next win (Their first since 1958), was a Friendly on May 16, 1986 that Denmark won 1 to 0.

Polish player: Zbigniew Boniek was present that day (on the field and/or the substitutes bench).

He also captained Poland in that match.

-Denmark’s previous win over Poland (and their previous win on home soil) was a Friendly on May 25, 1958 that they won 3 to 2.

-Denmark’s next away win over Poland was a Friendly on August 14, 2004 that they won 5 to 1.

-Zbigniew Boniek Managed Poland in a friendly vs. Denmark at Copenhagen that the Danes won (2-0).

-The two teams were in a World Cup qualifying group that included also Portugal and Cyprus.

-In their previous qualifiers, Poland had won all its two matches in the Group:

October 10, 1976, Porto, Portugal 0-Poland 2

October 31, 1976, Warsaw, Poland 5-Cyprus 0

-In preparation for this qualifier, Poland had played two away friendlies in the weeks before.

On April 13th, 1977, at Budapest, Poland lost (1-2).

On April 24th, at Dublin, they came away with a scoreless tie.

-Jacek Gmoch had taken over as Poland Manager from Kazimierz Górski in the Fall of 1976 after the 1976 Olympics.

-The Denmark squad was reliant on what was referred as a ‘Foreign Legion’. It was unprecedented at those times to have a squad of mainly foreign based players.

Denamrk had no choice since it still did not possess a Professional League, therefore its best players were scattered across Western European Leagues (West German Bundesliga a common destination).

Borussia Moenchengladbach’s Allan Simonsen was the most notable and famous of the group.

-Denmark started the match with Eight Foreign based players (seven of them from the Bundesliga), but were still misisng players such as :

Lars Bastrup (Offenbacher Fußball Club Kickers 1901 e.V. / West Germany)

Niels Tune (Fußball -Club Sankt-Pauli 1910 e.V.-Hamburg / West Germany)

Morten Olsen (Racing White Daring Molenbeek / Belgium) 

Benny Nielsen (Racing White Daring Molenbeek / Belgium) 

Ulrik le Fevre (Club Brugge Koninklijke Vereniging / Belgium)

Henning Jensen (Real Madrid Club de Fútbol / Spain)

Jørgen Kristensen (Berliner Sport-Club Hertha 1892 e.V. / West Germany)

-Denmark’s Johnny Hansen was a former Bayern Munich player.

-Strangely Denmark’s Jan Højland started the match with the jersey numbered 14 on his back.

The rules specifying a starting lineup of 1 to 11 was still not enforced.

-Poland were missing players such as:

Antoni Szymanowski (Gwardyjskie Towarzystwo Sportowe Wisla Krakow),

Paweł Janas (Robotnicze Towarzystwo Sportowe Widzew Łódź)

Jerzy Gorgoń (Klub Sportowy Górnik Zabrze)  

Janusz Kupcewicz (Morski Związkowy Klub Sportowy Arka Gdynia)

-The more experienced Poles gave a demonstration of dominance on an away venue and took control from the start.

-Poland took the lead in the 5^th minute.

Zmuda on the right side in his own half, crossed into the path of Lato, who in turn laid it on for Lubanski to score into the empty net as the Danish goalkeeper and the defense had already committed.

-Poland continued their domination and it was very much against the run of play when Denmark tied up the match.

-Just a few minutes later, in the 54^th minute, Henryk Kasperczak took a corner from the right side, that was headed in by Lubanski who scored his second goal.

Danish goalkeeper Birger Jensen had mistimed his jump and should have saved or punched out the corner kick.

-Danish Captain Henning Munk Jensen had been somewhat at fault for Poland’s first goal early in the match. As a result, the crowd jeered him from that moment on and his game suffered as a result.

Danish Manager Kurt Nielsen was forced to substitute him with Lars Larsen.

Kurt Nielsen declared that at first he regretted his decision, but by pulling him out, he felt Denmark were able to make more headway in the game.

-A goal by Lato was called off by the Referee due to an infraction.

-Zbigniew Boniek came on the 85^th minute, replacing Lubanski, and was booked shortly thereafter just before the final whistle. At 21, he was the youngest member of the Polish squad.

-Despite the introduction of the two substitutes, Denmark could not make it back and Poland were deserved winners.

-Poland took control of the match and especially dominated in midfield. Their game was based on quick counter attacks.

-Poland’s Lubanski, Lato, Kasperczak and Tomasweski impressed the most, while Denmark goalkeeper Birger Jesen prevented Denmark from losing with a bigger score (despite his mistake on the second goal).

-Poland Manager Jacek Gmoch declared ‘I am very satisfied for my team’s performance, but in my opinion, our victory could have been much larger’.

-Allan Simonsen was always marked closely by one or two defenders and was unable to make much of an impact. Though, he did score Denmark’s tying goal.

-Poland’s Czesław Boguszewicz and Denmark’s Ole Bjørnmose played their last ever matches with their respective National Teams.

-Two weeks later they further sealed their place by defeating Cyprus at Limasol

May 15, 1977, World Cup Qualifier, Cyprus 1-Poland 3

Match Video / Highlights:

Mysteries, Legends and Conspiracy Theories, Part Three

1- Attenmpted Bribery-Italy and Poland during the 1974 World Cup

Also referred to as ‘Stuttgart Scandal’, in 1980 Polish captain Kazimierz Deyna revealed that the Italians had in fact tried to bribe their Polish counterparts for their match (June 23, 1974, World Cup, Poland 2-Italy 1).

In an intervew with Brian Glanville, Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski claimed attempts were not made on the field but by the six Italian substitutes to the Polish substitutes. The Poles refused this bribery attempt.

Even by halftime when the poles were 2-0 up, another offer was made for a scoreline of 2-2, and again the Poles refused.

A few months after this match, Polish Manager Kazimierz Gorski told about this to a Warsaw daily newspaper, but after Italy’s UEFA President Artemio Franchi protested and threatened to bring this to FIFA, Gorski asked the journalist to withdraw his claims.

2- Joao Havelnage and claims of English/German Collusion

Brazilian FIFA President Joao Havelange has in the past made the claim that the 1966 and 1974 World Cups were fixed by the English and Germans.

For 1966, he references the butchery shown towards Pele, Rattin’s sending off vs. England , as well as the Uruguan players being sent off vs. West Germany.

According to him, the referees and Lienesmen were mostly English and German in those matches.

As far as 1974, The Brazil-Holland match had a German Referee and the Referee for the Final was Englishman Jack Taylor.

It is worth reminding that these were the World Cups that Brazil did not win while Havelange was the head of CBF.

3- Herman Haller and Juventus/Derby County 1973

There are some who have suggested the Champions Cup Semifinal between  Juventus and Derby County (April 11, 1973, Juventus 3-Derby 1) may have been fixed.

This is due to the fact that Juventus’ West German star Helmut Haller was seen chatting and going in the Referee’s quarters, who happened to be another West German Gerhard Schulenberg.

4- Bobby Robson not in charge of PSV Eindhoven for last League Match, 1990/91

World Soccer Magazine reported in their August 1991 issue that for PSV Eindhoven’s crucial last league match of the season vs. Volendam on June 16, 1991 (that they absolutely had to win to clinch the League title), English Manager Bobby Robson was not actually in charge.

It was alleged that senior PSV players had asked Technical Director Kees Ploegsma to give control of team selection and training to Assistant Manager Hans Dorjee as they viewed Robson too lax.

As a result, Dorjee trained the squad for three days prior to the match and selected the team and tactics.

It is unlikely that a Manager of Robson’s experience would allow this nor would stay on afterwards. He himself denied this version.

5- Ronaldo and 1998 World Cup Final

On the morning of the 1998 World Cup Final (July 12, 1998, France 3-Brazil 0), Brazil’s Ronaldo had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital.

Initially, he was even replaced in the Final lineup with Edmundo. After he was medically cleared he was back in the lineup, though had a sub-par performance.

It is unclear what caused the seizure to this day.

The other theory is that under normal circumstances he would not have played but Nike for commercial reasons forced Brazil to play Ronaldo.
