My Favourite football match of all time (Brazil Italy WC82)

This was the best football match I ever saw.  My big-brother thinks that the 1970 world cup was better but I wasn't there to remember that.

Here's a funny comment by John Motson of the BBC in 1982.  43 seconds in.

"Oh it's there.  Socrates scores a goal that sums up the philosophy of Brazilian football". 



First Post

This is a blog about recent history and things I remember from my childhood.

The title is taken from the poem "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll.

Inscribed to a dear Child:
in memory of golden summer hours
and whispers of a summer sea.

Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,
Eager she wields her spade: yet loves as well
Rest on a friendly knee, intent to ask
The tale he loves to tell.

There will be no logical order to the posts.  Just things I remember from my childhood.  A kind of mish-mash of memories.

Take it away Barbara.
