Oh do f**k off. You were 4 years old when Gazza won over the nations hearts and us football fans we're no longer classed as hoolies. What do you know about it?Dunners wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 11:36 am The 1990 World Cup was the first time that the tournament gripped the nation as a shared televisual event that even non-football fans were engaged in. The day after England's semi-final penalty shootout loss, non-football fans were all talking about it and suddenly full of opinions on the merits (or otherwise) of certain players and Gazza's tears.
It had become a cultural moment. The same almost happened for Mexico 86, especially with the hand of God, but the time difference was still too much of a barrier. Italia 90 built upon the drama of Mexico 86, but hit the winning formula of a banger of a theme tune.

Yep, 98 was my fave. The eight year wait after first getting into football was unbearable so the excitement was massiveHoover Attack wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 9:11 am What’s your fave?
(Based on my theory, I’m predicting 1998, wherever that was).

Re: Births Deaths And Marriages
Johna Amos has died, aged 84. He was in loads of films you'd have seen in the 80s and 90s. You'll remember him most as Major Grant in Die Hard 2, who led the group of marines that went rogue and switched sides.
