'Well Me Hughes, glad we have agreed your remuneration, just sign here.. Transfer budget ? That's Mr Reed 's department,now just sign here, Mr Reed will find you some young talent, no I.. Come back Mr Hughes.. Sh*t, what did you say? How do you spell Allspice, say it again .. Sam Avarice, he'll do, should sell some season tickets. What do you mean it's more complicated than ice hockey?'
Making me feel old. My first WC, England were champions. Everyone expected that brilliant Brazil side to win it, which they did. But I was hopeful we'd pull off a miracle when we met them in the final. 2-0 up against West Germany. You think that Adrian Heath goal hurt?
That's the one. Plus Gordon Banks - best keeper in the world - was ill and Peter Bonetti went in goal.
We could have won that one. Not that England were great, but we improved throughout the tournament. And we had Lineker...
I can recall England 0 USA 1, so little sympathy from me young 'un. I was married by the time England won it '66. Jeez!
France 98 was the first World Cup I can remember watching, can't remember how England went out but remember watching the final
Robbed, actually. Referee doing that pansy "got to protect goalkeeper" thing and disallowed a goal at the death. It was Shearer, from memory. When did big Al ever commit a foul?
I remember my brother's Texaco world cup coin collections in the early 70s (I was a very small child of course!).
