Diary

Monday, 5 November 1984 - Bobby Robson will take every precaution to cover his Italian connection when his squad fly to Turkey on Sunday from Luton Airport. Mark Hateley, Trevor Fancis and Ray Wilkins will be playing for their respective Italian clubs that afternoon. So Robson is taking no chances and he took full advantage of the new FIFA rule which allows him to name as many players as he wants when he selected 23 players today and provided cover by naming Paul Mariner, who is currently injured, and Peter Withe.

Monday, 12 November 1984 - Peter Withe has a golden opportunity to resurrect his England career in Istanbul on Wednesday. The big striker will fill the number nine shirt in the wake of Bobby Robson's double blow. The shock news that Mark Hateley is out with a severe knee injury followed the news of Paul Mariner's reluctance to travel. Robson tried for twenty minutes to persuade the Arsenal man to join the squad, but he refuses to make the trip because of aᵍᵃsh on his head.
