Memories from 82..
Bryan Robson well on his way to becoming the best in the land, not long after leaving Albion for Man U.
Nice England kit, awful world cup song (“This time ….we’ll get it right… um pa pa …”)
Cameroon (like England) went out without losing a game… the great Thomas N’Kono in goal making the first of his World Cup appearances.
That wonderful French side, Platini, Tigana, little Alain Giresse, Didier Six who ended up at Villa!
The best Brazilian side not to win the World Cup …Zico, Socretes, Falcao, Eder... eliminated by Paulo Rossi’s hat-trick.
Norman Whiteside, 17 going on 35, beating Pele’s record as the youngest player in World Cup history. And Gerry Armstrong scoring against the hosts, little did he know he’d end up playing for Albion in that dismal 85-86 season…
Dino Zoff keeping goal at 40
Karl Heinz Rummenigge
Harald Schumacher’s forehand smash.
Claudio Gentile, Italian hardman.
