It’s the 30th anniversary of Barry Davies’ one and only World Cup Final commentary.
And like a true master at work, here he doesn’t disappoint with his opening lines. 🇺🇸
It was quite ridiculous that the BBC didn’t give the great man any more.🎙️

Since May 2001, Spanish teams have played in 27 major finals (Champions League, Europa League, World Cup, Euros). There has been a Spanish winner in all 27 finals.

Here’s Terry Venables & Bobby Robson talking about Gareth Southgate’s penalty miss at Euro ‘96.
I’m sure both these great footballing men would be delighted to see the current England manager so close to glory again.
Go get that trophy, Gareth. 🏴

Today marks 30 years since Brazil played the Netherlands in the World Cup quarter-finals.
Before the match, the BBC used the opening credits from ‘Dallas’ to create one of the greatest football intros of all time.
Absolutely glorious. 🇺🇸

The 1978 World Cup Final
Argentina become the new World Champions, beating The Netherlands 3-1 (AET) in Buenos Aires.
The great David Coleman commentated on a World Cup game for the final time.
A great tournament, with some great goals and great memories!

The photo of Maradona screaming wide-eyed at the television camera is of course *the* image of the whole scandal, but for me this photo from the subsequent press conference is a work of art

Anita Ekberg was a Swedish actress who was also a trained archer and knew how to box.
In 1960, she had a remarkable encounter with the paparazzi.
After warning them to leave her alone repeatedly, she beat one up.
Undeterred, they continued to follow her. She retrieved a bow and arrow from her car.
Warned them one last time. And she… shot one of them with an arrow.
Anita Ekberg wasn’t bothered by paparazzi again. The La Dolce Vita star eventually lived to be 83, dying in 2015 in Rome.

Forty years ago, on Letterman, Bob Dylan (backed up by Tony Marsico, Charlie Quintana and JJ Holiday) delivered an alternative-rock take on “Jokerman” that remains one of the most remarkable performances of Dylan’s career.

10 years ago Milan was 2 Champions League trophies away from Real Madrid. Now they are 8 behind.
The jump upwards Real Madrid has made between 2014-2024 in the historic UEFA CL table is a lifetime jump. We will all die and RM will still top the Champions League trophy standings.
