During the World Cup's final match between England and [[West Germany]], [[Joseph Galloway]], who possessed the [[Blessing Star]], watched the match, and the jewel started to respond to his fervent wish for England's victory over Germany. As he watched the final, the [[First Doctor]], fresh from his victory over [[WOTAN]], found him. The [[Time Lord]] had been tracking down the Star so as to tie up loose ends from his last visit to England. To his dismay, he found the Star too late. By then, the Star had started to overload, taking in not just the rag and bones man's wishes, but those of people all over England. The Star allowed England to make a very close shot into the German goal, but no more. It exploded, overwhelmed by the hopes of an entire nation. England went on to win, but without any further help from the Star. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Rag & Bone Man's Story (short story)|The Rag & Bone Man's Story]]'')
