Whites man Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 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.

Whites man Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 The Argentinians introduced colour TV for for the tournament. The Gemmill goal was Scotland all over, in the end it didn't really matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 Like Gubbins, I was 12 in '66 and remember all of it. Top class with Brazil training at Bromwich St. First memories though are of the Battle of Santiago (Italy v Chile). My first exposure to the throat high tackle. If you ain't seen it, try and find the footage. All Italians are cheats and bastuds (Brian Clough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 1970 for me. Was ten at the time. Was gutted when Germany turned around a 2-0 lead in the QF. Then me dad sent me to evening mass on the night of the final because i'd not been that day, so i missed the first hour of the game, had no truck with religion since.
