Wow. I feel like we should be paying you.

Not wanting to steal your thunder Jason but I completed the Panini sticker album for this.

Then my dog ate it.

England & Scotland singles - first records i ever bought. True story.

Ha! Never mate - just a few threads with some 'old skool' footy (from many of our mis-spent youths)...

 My first international Panini album - and 1st World Cup I remember. Think I only ever completed the Brazil page, the rest I wasn't that interested in (other than collecting the usual silvery crest/badges).

You sure the dog ate yours? And didn't sell/trade it for some pig ears or other treats?

Ha! Bought McCartney's Mull of Kintyre/Girl's School and the England record from the discount section at Woolworths. Still got MoK, but thankfully lost 'This Time'. (think it had big squad picture on the back - and was always trying to figure out why there wasn't more Liverpool players in it). I never had the joy of the Scotland single  

 

Probably the best / most enjoyable World Cup that I can remember.

I'll likely do some similar threads for the other World Cups from '86-'18 too. Maybe Euro 96 too (though other than winning a few quid on Baros being Top Scorer for Euro 04, I don't really remember the others).

 

If anyone had any good stories, memories, or videos to share from Spain '82, please post them up...

This is one of the greatest posts ever and I'm only 3 hours in

[pipnasty]

This was my first World Cup and I was totally awed by it - it was almost too much to take in at times. Felt like the most important event in the world ever and my little brain struggled to cope with the enormity of it. I'd waited all of my life for this moment. 

Going to school the next day - everyone wanting to be Italy or Brazil - being a contrary t***, I wanted to be Poland, so Poland it was. 'You're Lato, you're Zmuda, you're Smolarek and I'm Boniek. And you're Buncol so shut up.' - that sort of thing. Nobody wanted to be England or West Germany or Argentina. Jumpers for goalposts stuff this, isn't it?
