I think youโre probably right but as an aside to this, Iโve just finished reading a book called โErbstein: The triumph and tragedy of football's forgotten pioneerโ. He was the brains behind Il Grande Torino, a Hungarian Jew working in Fascist Italy, going on toย surviveย the Budapest Holocaust before returning to Turin only to die inย the Superga disaster.ย His coaching style was heavily influenced by English coaches (Chapman primarily, but he died alongside Leslie Lievesley, another English coach). Theย Italy team of the 30s rose to the prominence it did in no small part thanks to him. Likewise the Hungarian team that put paid to the English myth of invisibility.ย I think England would have got their bloody nose a lot sooner if theyโd got more involved.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
