ESPN classic are showing offical Fifa world cup film for 1970, at 12:30 its the 1982 world cup.

Was thinking back in the day before you had games on TV all time there was a mystique about the World Cup, especially the likes of Brazil who every 4 years would appear with these amazing players you hadnt seen before, Zico etc.

Now most of the players are in Europe and we can see on some channel or other, who else remembers waiting on the world cup to see who Brazil and Argentina etc had playing for them this time?

I loved all that too. I was 10 at the time and i remember afterwards everyone at school wanted to be Zico, Socretes, Falco etc.

Even seeing some of the Scottish players was amazing - Dalglish,Jordan Souness, Wark et al. I'd never seen any of them play before. They were just names my dad would talk about as there was hardly any English football on telly then.

Wish i'd been old enough to appreciate it, always thought I was born 10 years too late!
