Strangely, when this was mentioned on the news the other day I commented to my wife that it was one of the first news things that I can remember along with Winston Churchill's funeral. |

First news item I remember was that of Scotland qualifying for West Germany World Cup of 74 and the fact we where going to play a team called Ziare, I was fascinated and asked my dad all about them, he told me they where from Africa, he said though England have not qualified, I replied do they come from Africa too True story and I was 8 at the time
