No but I could name perhaps half of their squad from Mexico 86 (their only finals appearance to date), such was my obsession with that tournament as a 10-year-old.

The Staveley Works Band were the pre match entertainment

It was just a single A4 sheet Mark.

Not a full programme.

Yes I've since been sent photos ofboth sides Nigel, interesting to read that several of the Canadian 1986 World Cup squad, were due to feature

It was a comment in the programme, would attach a photo if I could. I didn't recognise any names on the squad list as it was the the first and only time they qualified they were probably household names back home, maybe not...

Looking down the 86 World Cup squad only 5 players ever played in the UK (if we include Glentoran in NI) Colin Miller (Doncaster Rovers, Rangers and a fair few lower league Scottish clubs), Paul James (Doncaster), Carl Valentine (WBA), Terry Moore (Glentoran) & Bob Lenarduzzi (Reading).

Thanks- didn't realise Lenarduzzi had played for Reading.

Looking at the dates of their careers only Miller and Moore were at their UK teams at the time of the 86 World Cup, Lenarduzzi had already left Reading and was playing in the NASL for Tacoma (he split his time at Reading with spells at Vancouver Spartans, Vancouver Columbus FC and Vancouver Whitecaps (was a teammate to Peter Beardsley) and left in 1976), Paul James was playing at Monterrey in Mexico in 86 and moved to Donny in 87. Carl Valentine had just left WBA to go to Cleveland Force in the MISL (indoor football).
