    I'm still missing just one sticker from that collection. Any spares? :p

    It took me ages to get my last one, Ruben Dario Hernandez from Colombia!
    Had to pay some young fella about 3 years behind me in school 20p for it :mad:

    '94 was pretty special too. The Ray Houghton goal and the performance of Paul McGrath in Giant's stadium and beating the Italians who had ended our dream four years earlier was a pretty special time.

    We were a little disappointed to go out so easily to the Dutch but we all knew that we were up against a top team who had won the Euros in '88 and got beaten in a penalty shootout in the Euros in '92.

    Yes it was memorable, beating Italy was anyway, but the overall 'occasion' was not as spontaneous as Italia '90.

    The was almost as if the 'bandwagon' had been prepared in advance.
    In the media radio and TV shows that were not football or even sport related already had everything in place to make as big a deal of this as possible, the people were almost 'on stand by' to go out an celebrate this great occasion

    And in the end it fell flat.

    yeah good times - we actually played our best game against the Italians - better goalkeeping and Scilachi wouldn't have scored
