On Wednesday, November 14, 1984, the then Spanish Prime Minister, Felipe González, rose from his seat in the Congress of Deputies to defend himself against accusations of illegal financing leveled against the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party). Hugging the microphone, he uttered a phrase that would go down in history: "Neither Flick nor Flock." His reference to Flick had no connection to the man who four decades later would coach FC Barcelona—who, incidentally, that season won the German Third Division league playing for SV Sandhausen—but rather to a German billionaire accused of financing the Spanish socialists.
