Back in 1974 I was seven years old and can vaguely remember the World Cup in West Germany. My World Cups were 1978, 1982, 1986 and 1990. Since 1990, I’ve not watched one World Cup properly like the others, in fact, the last tournament I watched fully was Euro 96, but then didn’t everyone? With World Cup 2026 on the horizon, I have no interest whatsoever in the tournament. Is it an age thing? Is anybody else remotely interested? #WorldCup

The commentators and hosts from the BBC and ITV, for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. Today's crop are no way on the level of these guys! #WorldCup

Back in May 1983, the final day of the Division One season, the scenario was simple. Manchester City needed a point to survive relegation, their opponents Luton Town, had to win to survive relegation and send City down. Something had to give. Match Of The Day captured the drama, as up steps Raddy Antic with five minutes to go with an iconic moment. Commentator John Motson. #MCFC #COYH #MOTD
