Did anyone see John Saffron v God tonight on SBS? Its actually a replay........ but anyway its about Australia playing some african team in a world cup qualifier in the early 70's ( I think it was the old zimbabwe).
It was a 3 match playoff and Australia lost the first 2 games. Before the 3rd match Johnny Warren approached a witch doctor to curse the other team so the Aussie could win. Australia fluked it and they won
3 - 1 which took them to the next round.
Johnny Warren and the Socceroos left the country a few days later but Johnny didnt pay a fee for the witch doctors services. The Doctor then proceeded to curse Australia and since then we havent made a world cup and football in oz has gone downhill.
I thought this was all crap but then it showed Johnny Warren telling the story.
So anyway....John Saffron goes back to africa to get the curse reversed. They take him to the actual football ground where Aus played the 3rd leg of the qualifier back in the 70's. They got a chicken and sliced its neck then rubbed the blood all over his body. He also had to wash his face in chicken blood. They then said the spirits forgive Australia. John saffron returned to Australia and had to perform a ritual with Johnny Warren. They went to Aussie Stadium and rubbed some white crap on their arms and legs. Totally wierd arse crap !
Johnny Warren then said that he is totally convinced that the Curse has been lifted and football can now go forward in this country. God bless his soul.
