Surprised there wasn't a thread about it today, to be honest. Doubt I'll get to enjoy another one in my lifetime (I was only three the last time).

Forgive my ignorance (If I'm wrong) but I was always under the impression you were an Irish kid,maybe your location gives it away,but as I say forgive me if I'm wrong

I was -6.

I was also three at the time, though I do have a vague recollection of the final being on the TV in the background.

We were visiting friends of my gran.

Understandable misconception given, as you say, my location. Born and brought up Mancunian (Moss Side and Longsight), to Irish parents. Spent the first 20 years of my life in England before my parents retired back to Ireland. Always support English sides where they're competing.

Maybe once or twice!

Apparently though, Meeesh wasn't aware of my background, hence the need to clarify things!

I was 5 - I seem to recall being in London trying to get the attention of a Russian Linesman who was half looking at a football match. Not sure what happened.............

I was two and like Jim I doubt I will see another..would be great though if Raheem slots the winner home.
