The incident occurred a couple of minutes into the second half of England’s 1974 World Cup qualifier against Poland.

The hosts had already taken a seventh-minute lead through Robert Gadocha, left free at the near post by England captain Bobby Moore - the man who had lifted the World Cup at Wembley seven years earlier and by this point had more than 100 caps in his possession.

And Moore was now the last line of defence in front of keeper Peter Shilton as he fielded a ball headed back to him before deciding, calamitously, to try and turn past the onrushing Wlodzimierz Lubanski, who gained possession and ran on to score Poland’s decisive second goal.

England could still have made it to West Germany for the finals if they had beaten Poland in the return at Wembley but, famously, they could only manage a 1-1 draw against a side who went on to demonstrate how far from a fluke their qualification was by beating Brazil in the third place playoff after losing 1-0 to the eventually triumphant hosts.

By then, however, Moore was no more on the international scene. That match, those momentary misjudgements in Chorzow effectively ended his illustrious international career.

The stadium now bears no comparison with the one in which Poland earned that fateful 2-0 win. It took eight years for the major renovation begun in 2009 to be completed, but the Polish team now plays there again as well as in Warsaw.

The arena also has a long athletics history - in 1969 it was the venue where Nadezhda Chisova of the Soviet Union became the first woman to break 20 metres for the shot put with a world record of 20.09 metres.

In 2018 a crowd of 41,200 all but filled the stadium to watch the inaugural Kamila Skolimowska Memorial meeting, now a regular fixture. In 2021, as the pandemic began to loosen its grip on the world, the Slaski Stadium hosted the World Relays event followed by the most recent edition of the European Athletics Team Championships. Now that event has returned as part of the 3^rd European Games in Krakow-Malopolska.

The host nation is hoping to earn a third consecutive victory in the event, although they will be under severe pressure in the 1^st Division category from a very strong Italian team who lost the Championships by a narrow margin last time round and now want very much to have the title as they head towards hosting the European Athletics Championships in Rome next year.

So the Team Championships have returned to the Bobby No More stadium. But this time with a unique twist.

Eurovision Sport has just announced that it is expanding its coverage of European Athletics by bringing in artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

In partnership with European Athletics, Eurovision will use the cloned voice of Britain’s 2011 world 1500 metres silver medallist and athletics commentator Hannah England.

The AI will replicate content from European Athletics’ live blog for the Championships.

The audio version of the blog, voiced by “Hannah” will be heard as part of the 24-hour live audio stream on the European Athletics YouTube Channel.

Eurovision Sport and European Athletics say they will test the latest AI technology and demonstrate how it can be used effectively within a supervised framework to give people more choice in how they follow their favourite sport.

In an official comment, England said: "I am excited to work with European Athletics and the European Broadcasting Union to explore using AI to bring even more content to our fans, speaking with one voice.

"We are always looking for innovation in athletics and I believe this use of my cloned voice can enhance the fan experience by giving them another incentive to follow our sport."

In an unofficial comment she told insidethegames: "We’ve done a few dry runs and listening back to what sounds like my voice saying things I’ve never said did seem a bit bizarre.

"But I’ve been working for a while with European Athletics on commentary and on podcasts so this just seems like a natural progression. It offers some continuity in that respect.

"I was very flattered to have been chosen for the project. The European Athletics Team Championships is an ideal event to pilot the idea.

"I’ve got complete faith in the ethos of Eurovision Sport and European Athletics, so it is very low risk. And I think it will offer the athletics audience another form of content which some people might appreciate.

"I’ve spoken to Nick [who will be writing the blog] and told him he’s not allowed to make any mistakes that will make me sound bad! But seriously I know he’s an excellent journalist and he will be doing a great job."

So how like Hannah does the AI Hannah sound?

"It does sound quite like me," said England, who is due to be in Chorzow in person for commentary work. "To a casual listener it would sound like me - although it’s not exactly the same."

She sounded a bit relieved about that. And perhaps we all should be.

Of course we will be checking to make sure she isn't a replicant...
