I HEART 80s

FIFA World Cup 1986 – Mexico

This was a cool World Cup. I have particularly happy memories of watching it - why I'm not sure. It was probably a combination things. We minded a video recorder for the duration so some of the later kick offs were accessible to me; I was doing my O Levels at the time so, particularly early on, there was the delicious sense of doing something fun when you should have been doing something else, like revising. And I guess most importantly, there was also the going to bed late aspect to things, you know when waiting to watch it on the video recorder just wouldn't do and you absolutely HAD TO stay up...
