So many from the England side in the build up to Italia 90. When I really started falling in love with football. Gazza bursting on the scene culminating in a 4-2 friendly win against Czechoslovakia (watch it on YouTube if you haven’t seen the highlights, he was sensational). Lineker was established of course and still found the net in important games during the World Cup.

Terry Butcher was and still is for me the quintessential old fashioned centre half.

Bryan Robson in the middle.

The wingers/playmaker’s were who I enjoyed the most. Barnes, Waddle & Beardsley.

3 favourite players of all time, Juninho, Zidane and Henry, all made football an absolute joy to watch, they were majestic.
