1982, 1986 and 1990 are the nostalgic World Cups for me.
1982 was the first one I remember (I was only about 8 years old). I vividly recall Robson’s early goal v France, the Brazil v Italy game and the final.
1986 - Ray Wilkins getting sent off v Morocco, Lineker’s hat-trick, Maradonna’s hand ball.
1990 - Roger Milla, England’s wins v Cameroon and Belgium, the bitter disappointment of the semi-final.
1994 in the USA didn’t have the same appeal with England not playing. I still love the World Cup, but after 1990 it lost some of its magic for me.
