World Cup Rock’n’Goal Years
As the nation’s eyes are directed towards South Africa for the 2010 World Cup World Cup Rock’n’Goal Years relives the excitement, the sights and the sounds of four fantastic footballing summers from recent years – 1986, 1998, 2002 and 2006.
From Mexico ’86, when Bobby Robson’s squad encountered Diego Maradona’s notorious Hand of God; through to France ’98 when England’s tournament ended in heartbreak after David Beckham was sent off against Argentina and Glen Hoddle’s side lost on penalties to their old enemy; Japan and Korea 2002, when Sven-Goran Eriksson took charge of the side; and Germany 2006, when the WAGs rather than the football dominated the headlines and England’s fortunes faltered against Portugal and a winking Ronaldo.
World Cup Rock’n’Goal Years is a four part series.
