 The Bracelet of Bogotá
Topic Originator: Stanza  
Date:   Tue 8 Jul 02:17

Those of us old enough to remember the events of 1970, when Bobby Moore was arrested for theft in Bogotá just before the Mexico World Cup, might be interested in this article. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jul/06/colombian-podcast-bobby-moore-england-arrest-bracelet-bogota-football?CMP=share_btn_url

If you can`t be bothered reading it all, the suggestion is that there may have been a prank by Moore`s teammates, and all the forces of the British and Colombian governments were then brought to bear on the judge to dismiss the case.

I remember the fallout from that, Stanza. Many of us took great delight in singing a very non PC song when the Pars played West Ham in a pre-season friendly at EEP.

To the tune of "My darling Clementine "

"Where`s your bracelet (x3) Bobby Moore
It`s in your handbag (x3) Bobby Moore."

You missed out the last verse GG!🤔

I sure remember that, think it carried on to the biannual Wembley match that season!

Was that not even more un-PC, LA? Are you trying to get me my first red card? 🤔

It certainly did. Was the England game not at Hampden?

I mind the hoohah raised at the time - thinking that they`ll never prove innocence or guilt one way or another.

It was more likely a conspiracy by expat Jocks - or displaced former Nazis of ODESSA living in South America seeking revenege for 1966 !!!

72 game would be Hampden, so could be right!
