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/

The Argentinians introduced colour TV for for the tournament.

 

The Gemmill goal was Scotland all over, in the end it didn't really matter

Me too

It was in B&W round EG's nan's house. But that was because everything on telly was B&W round there to the day she died

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).

bits of 1986 for me was 8 at the time :-$ first proper world cup would have been 1990 was in greece at the time on holiday 1st trip abroad

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.

"Let it be a lesson though", Jesus said unto his disciples, "That thouest must go to thy place of worship in a manner to avoid missing out on later cup games."
