Meanwhile, Nottingham plumber and Sunday League manager Reg Atkinson is concerned that his tender for the undersoil heating contract at the new Wembley stadium will be lost in the latest crisis to hit the England team. But he is soon reassured by a call from the FA asking him to an interview. Reg quickly hones his knowledge of the Swedish undersoil heating system and heads for London.
After a swift selection process, Brendan Fendons stand-in Sir Richard Scratcher appoints Atkinson and calls a press conference to announce the new England boss. But, as the mass media soon discover, the man taking the stage isnt Ron but Reg who has signed a multi-million pound contract to take charge of the national team.
The press have a field day, but Brendan Fendon is none the wiser as his delayed flight from Rio lands at Heathrow. When the truth dawns he realises the only way out is to force Reg to resign by preventing all Englands stars from playing against Germany.
What does Reg do now? If he resigns hell lose his money, but if he continues, England will be forced to forfeit the match and Germany will surely qualify. The press are camped outside Regs humble semi in Nottingham, hes suffered a mysterious break-in and his plumbing business and the future of English football look like going down the pan...
