Back in the day, when you won the League Cup at Wembley or even the FA Cup, the celebrations were always civilised. Today you just know it’s going to be over the top. #ARSMCI #CarabaoCup

A fantastic compilation of goals from the 1978 World Cup from the BBC and a great soundtrack. This compilation was aired on Grandstand in 1986 as a preview for the 1986 World Cup Finals and was dubbed 86 goals for 86, which was part of a longer compilation which included 86 World Cup goals from the 1950s to 1982 which unfortunately I don’t have. Would love to see the full compilation again, someone out there must surely still have it! #WorldCup
