Sounds like my oldest brother, while I was pogoing around the bedroom he had to make do with Genesis and 10cc... :)

To be fair, being a teen in the 90s had it's good points, but yeah, think I'd have enjoyed the 70s.

In reality the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s were all game changers musically, with plenty of tribalism (whether the music and the "tribes" were good or bad is subjective and basically just depends on how old your are).

Struggling to think what has really changed musically since the 90s. Most of the pop, rock, dance, hip hop, etc music around now would have been right at home 20 years ago.

12th in the league - ha, - that tells you something.

12th in the League BUT

...won the World Cup

...beat Spuds 4-1 at the Lane

I'll settle for that

[Mick Mac]

Might have been the only team you beat that year.

Great radio programme on at the moment about 1966. About an hour still to go.

Attending a 50th birthday bash Saturday for a mate who was not only born on the day of the final but actually during it. His mother reckoned she never saw the same doctor or nurse for more than five minutes as his appearance approached as they were running relays from the T.V. lounge...

I have realised that if England don't win another World Cup before this coming Saturday, that it will be 50 years since they last won it. Better get their skates on.
