Ahh, great times…

Make no mistake about it, from now until June, the rumblings of World Cup excitement will slowly escalate, until eventually people will simply have to drop to their knees in the middle of busy shopping parades to let out shrill primal screams, or beat their chests until they can finally relax, let it all out, and get back to shopping.

In some cases, old women will actually punch people in the face.

So, in the spirit of getting the nation’s juices flowing, above is a little clip from the 1986 World Cup, which found a very young oily-legged Gary Lineker doing what he used to do best.

    Three classic Lineker poaching efforts, and I mean that in a good way.

    Also, am I the only one that panicked at 0:18 when Shilton picked up Butcher’s backpass, even though the backpass rule was still years away?

    Yeah - I noticed the “back pass”… :)

    Isn’t it nice to hear such professional commentary, tho, compared to today…
