I had a wonderful day in town with Lola on Saturday - somehow it felt like the 1970s, heat of 1976, Jubilee celebrations of 1977, and World Cup fever of 1978 (I think I was the only person in town not wearing an England top). Ahhh…. Argentina 1978. That was the world cup. Even though England weren’t there, Scotland would do just as good (especially as they had Kenny Dalglish playing, who’d replaced Kevin Keegan when he treacherously abandoned Liverpool the previous year for some German club). Yes, you see, I was into football in those days (I was 9 at the time) but I soon lost all interest, and only got excited by it again in 1990, when I spent the first half of the World Cup mocking my friends who watched all the matches religiously, and the second half of it surpassing their religious zeal.
