First World Cup Final I remember

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Marco Tardelli. Loved that Italian team.

They were dreadful in the Group Stages, and still can't fathom how they managed to beat Brazil 3-2 who were a brilliant side, 2nd only to their greatest ever 12 years earlier.

Not just goal, but this must be one of the greatest passages of play ever in football:

I remember watching it on the telly. Just desserts that Watford got that goal and even more so was that penalty miss because he dived for that penalty anyway and shouldn’t have been given. It was sensational:)

The day Italy defeated Brazil was one of my happiest days watching football. I will never forget it. As on how they managed to defeat them, the answer is bellow. One of the most underrated geniuses in football history. He and a bunch of exceptional players, not only gifted by footballing skills but importantly by high footballing IQ, were able to defeat 1) Argentina, 2) Brazil, 3) Poland (excellent team at that time), then finally 4) West Germany to win it. In my opinion, that was the most difficult lineup in history to win the World Cup. And back then, the World Cup was the real World Cup, not the shitty tournament we have nowadays.

Mickey Walsh for Blackpool vs Sunderland in 1975, Ronnie Radford's goal; you only have to say his name to any fan over 50 and they will look at you knowingly. Pele's header in the 70 World Cup final, not just for time he was in the air but the power on the header as well.
Finally Alan Sunderland vs the Rags in 79. I remember my Dad jumping up and saying that was better than beating them 4-0.
