1978 World Cup Final

[KM2 archive @KillianM2]

Made in 1990 for the coverage of Ireland v Italy World Cup game, probably the best sports montage ever produced by RTE.

[TV Football 1968-92 @1968Tv]

Let’s start the weekend early, with one of the greatest World Cup games of all time.
I ran home from school on July 5th 1982 to watch Italy 3-2 Brazil.
What a game it was!

Have a good weekend everyone. 👍

Staggering stats. 97% of former cat 1 academy players now aged 21 to 26 never made an EPL appearance.

70% weren't handed a pro contract at an EPL or EFL club. And only 1 in 10 went on to make more than 20 league appearances in the top four tiers of English football.

World Cup 1982
BBC Highlights
A contender for the greatest World Cup game.
The infamous Semi Final between France and West Germany which the Germans won on penalties, but remembered more for the Battiston Schumacher incident.

[The King of Blackadder 👑🇬🇧 @pitchblacksteed]

On the day of Blackadder's 40th anniversary, let's remember arguably its finest hour. 34 years ago the last ep of #Blackadder Goes Forth was shown. The brilliant series ended with this moving scene, cementing the legend of the comedy.

@LeapCard Day 13 with blocked Leap Card, spoken with five (5) Agents & numerous emails, tired of hearing “escalating”, “share you frustration “ etc, plenty of credit on the card, can’t understand how it’s taking so long.

[Garrett Lyons @GarrettLyons3]

@LeapCard It’s not a replacement, card was working fine until suddenly blocked even though more than sufficient credit, having to do all the chasing is what’s annoying, no call back when promised, no email update when promised “3 working days….”

[Garrett Lyons @GarrettLyons3]

@LeapCard Day 11 with blocked Leap card, promise of “3 working days” to process request !!, 3 emails & 4 conversations with agents, can someone sort this out,

@LeapCard very frustrating that after a week I’m still waiting for a reply as to why my Leap card is blocked,

Remembering Bertie O’Mahony whose first Anniversary occurs today.

[Transalpino(official) @TransalpinoO]

At the game last night I was introduced to a 77 year old fella from Kirkdale- Adrian Killen who has only missed 10 home games since 1958.
He showed me this piece of footage he recorded in 1966.
Not sure if its been shared before.

[When Football Was Better @FootballInT80s]

If you were a kid growing up in the 80s and you weren’t familiar with this goal and commentary then where were you hiding?

41 years ago today. Ronnie Radford, Hereford v Newcastle.

Roll John Motson…
