I remember a little of 86, mainly the howls of protest at 'that' goal

not too much else.

90 was the first one I was properly in to, helped in no small part by the Daddy of Panini sticker albums that year.

Platt, Belguim, Pelanties and Cameroon, Lineker and Gazza, wasn't it? Isn't it? MMM

Utterly Utterly distraught after the semi.
