Edit: That's me speaking double Dutch again. :D
Yes '78 world cup started that trend in a big way... Ardiles & Villa to Spurs too that summer (only Ardiles played in the final, but the tournament put Dutch and Argentinian football front of mind). I think Ipswich got the better pair of players and actually Holland was the best team in that world cup - the one off final match didn't reflect that. I remember the Dutch team being kept waiting on the pitch on their own before kick off... all sorts of mind games, home advantage and dirty tactics won the day and cost Holland in the final again. I was gutted as a Johan Neeskens fan

Be careful saying Holland were the best team in the 78 WC you'll be attracting some of "Ally's Tartan Army" :shh:
