Just been chatting to some kids in the street kicking a ball about. They starting getting really excited because this is the first world cup they have seen!!!! I thought fook off but yep they are only 5 and 6 years old so it would be.

 

Made me feel old as fook and I'm only in me early 30's! 82 in Spain is the first real one I can remember. I'm sure Biff can remember the very first one :D/

Italia 90 for me. Rememeber watching England v Cameroon and jumping round the front room when Lineker won it from the penalty spot.

 

Gascoine crying

English fans rampaging through Italy

Peter Shilton being too old to save the German penalties

 

Happy days.

I was driving back from a weekend in Manc and listening to the Cameroon pens........

 

 

Only thing I remember from '66 is World Cup Willie but '70 I remember very well. 43 kids in my class supporting Brazil, 1 for Italy

1978 Argies v The Dutch, was at Hammerbank in the Lakes with my primary school.

 

Happy days.

First World Cup I remember is 54 in Switzerland. The first one which had games televised live in the Uk was 1966. That is when most people in this country started to be interested in it. Up to then the World Cup was just a little known competition that happened in a foreign country.

I was 6 in 66 but cant for the life of me remember anything about it , so it would be 1970 for me

12 IN 1966 , MAM GIVE ME ?? 5 TO BUY A PAIR OF SHOES .I WENT IN EXTRA TIME

STUPID OR WHAT

Me too. I remember my dad getting a colour telly for the 1970 world cup,we'd have a fcukin houseful for every England game

Italia 90 for me! them red, white and green mini footballs cocacola were giving out! i think we had about 50 of the feckers! I found one in the garage t'other day when having a tidy out!

1978 - caravan in Devon, Archie Gemmill, that mad Peru keeper, that Dutch fella who twatted them in from miles out, the Tango ball.

I have a few fleeting memories of 1970 but my first real memories were of 74 when Scotland had a class team but got knocked out despite being undefeated. Bremner Lorimer Jordan and Co were a class team but we didn't score enough against the whipping boys of Zaire in a 2-0 win, so we went home on goal difference. I was 10 then.

In the first World Cup I can remember in '82 England didn't lose a game as well, despite having the lumbering Phil Thompson and Paul Mariner in the team.
