WC memories for us older feckers

[cdbearsfan]

Have pretty clear memories of five of those games. Don't recall the Czechoslovak, Yugoslav or Italy games, must have been on past my bedtime.

I remember being pleased for David O'Leary. Strange times.

Me too.

I even remember liking Arsenal because they had so many Irish players.

Then again, I remember living in the USA and buying a short wave radio so I could listen to the BBC News. Now I avoid BBC News like the plague. Same with the Grauniad.

I vividly remember the Platt goal.
