World Cup's 50 Greatest Moments

0:00:02 > 0:00:05- I can't wait for the World Cup. - Neither can I.- So you going, Rio?

0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Going where?- Rio.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09- Yeah.- Right, so when you getting there?

0:00:09 > 0:00:11- Where?- Rio.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13What? What is it?

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Look, I'm just asking if you're going, Rio.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18What are you talking about? I've only just got here.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Stop messing about and let's get on with the show.

0:00:21 > 0:00:22Hi, I'm Olly Murs.

0:00:22 > 0:00:23And I'm Rio Ferdinand

0:00:23 > 0:00:27and you're watching The World Cup's 50 Greatest Moments, a countdown

0:00:27 > 0:00:31of the best bits of what is quite simply the greatest show on Earth.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33All right, you need to stop talking about my tour.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36We're here to talk about the World Cup.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- That's right. The clue was in the title.- It was.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41OK, well, we've got a feast of World Cup magic in store.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45We can boast more slick Brazilians than the cast of TOWIE.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49- More shoot-out misery than the OK Corral.- OK, here's a taster.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Pele... Oh, what genius!

0:00:52 > 0:00:55I had one poster in my bedroom - it was Johan Cruyff.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57He's scored a wonderful goal!

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Yeah, it was a great moment.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Marco Tardelli!

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Looking for the shot, Ray Houghton!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Everyone in the world wanted that to go in.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05And it's there!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Gary Lineker, look, his head's gone.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08That should get you sent off the pitch.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well, it didn't hit Rivaldo in the face.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12It's Zidane!

0:01:12 > 0:01:13A moment of madness.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Oh, what a goal! Dennis Bergkamp!

0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's things like that why people watch football.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19What a save!

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Maradona!

0:01:20 > 0:01:23People are on the pitch. They think it's all over.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24It is now.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27And I said, "Jackie, our lives are never going to be the same."

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Great stuff.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33The World Cup's 50 Greatest Moments

0:01:33 > 0:01:36and all picked by a panel of BBC experts.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40I'm as excited as Geoff Hurst's agent is in a World Cup year.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Let's get on with the countdown.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46- OK, we're kicking off. - See, I love what you did there, Rio.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Footballing, clever.- Well.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51At number 50, the only person to score faster than Russell Brand

0:01:51 > 0:01:54in a nightclub, it's the World Cup's quickest-ever goal,

0:01:54 > 0:01:56a Turkish delight from 2002.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Blink and you'll miss it.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02I always think it's a shame when moments of history

0:02:02 > 0:02:06and records are broken in the 3rd/4th play-off match

0:02:06 > 0:02:08because, basically, it doesn't matter.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- COMMENTATOR:- Korea in the red shirts, kicking from left to right.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Turkey are all in white.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17And Bo who is immediately caught in possession.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18What a start this could be!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22And Turkey have the lead

0:02:22 > 0:02:28and it's Hakan Sukur inside 15 seconds for Turkey!

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Just a blunder, a defensive blunder from the Korean Republic.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34It was just terrible.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35You just don't get goals like that.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Usually, from kick-off, people are quite cautious,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39want to keep the ball.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Keep it tight, 15-20 minutes, let's contain them,

0:02:42 > 0:02:43let's look after the ball.

0:02:43 > 0:02:4711 seconds gone, you're 1-0 down.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51And that is the fastest-ever goal in World Cup finals football

0:02:51 > 0:02:55and it's scored by the Turkish captain Hakan Sukur.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58It happens and you go, "There's no way back from this."

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yeah, Hakan Sukur created history

0:03:01 > 0:03:05but I still think Bryan Robson's is the fastest goal in World Cup

0:03:05 > 0:03:08history because it was a goal that mattered.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12MUSIC: "Nessun Dorma" by Giacomo Puccini

0:03:12 > 0:03:14The 1990 World Cup - that's when music

0:03:14 > 0:03:18and football tournaments became intrinsically linked and, you know,

0:03:18 > 0:03:22this desire to have the great theme tune for every football tournament.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Ah, the awe-inspiring tones of Luciano Pavarotti

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and Nessun Dorma - beautiful music for the beautiful game,

0:03:28 > 0:03:33stirring memories of great goals, great plays, great drama and...

0:03:33 > 0:03:34spitting?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Of course, I know the history of Holland and Germany

0:03:37 > 0:03:38not liking each other from 1974

0:03:38 > 0:03:40and whatever else went on and, I suppose,

0:03:40 > 0:03:42they had their playing days playing against each other when they

0:03:42 > 0:03:45both played in Italy so they didn't like each other so that happened.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, there's something going on between them.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50It was quite an ill-tempered game.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55And Rijkaard is cautioned

0:03:55 > 0:03:57and he'd already been cautioned in the competition.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Both of them with their lovely head of hair.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Rudi Voller had this haircut, this mop,

0:04:03 > 0:04:04like a mop on his head,

0:04:04 > 0:04:07and Rijkaard, you could see that he was building up the spit

0:04:07 > 0:04:09that was going to come.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Yeah, Rijkaard just spat into Voller's hair.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Did he spit at Voller as he ran past? Was that my imagination?

0:04:17 > 0:04:18Let's hope so.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21For him to spit at another professional was absolutely

0:04:21 > 0:04:22horrifying, disgusting.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25They kicked each other, they didn't like each other. We don't know what

0:04:25 > 0:04:27he may have said. He spat in his hair

0:04:27 > 0:04:29or whatever he did, and they got sent off.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Well, there's a bit of nonsense between Voller

0:04:31 > 0:04:34and Rijkaard which could spoil this match.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Rudi Voller's absolutely incensed.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Well, it's a red card and Voller is off and that is extraordinary.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43As they both got sent off, as they walked out, you can

0:04:43 > 0:04:46see him like, as if he was building up his dinner from the last

0:04:46 > 0:04:49four or five days, it was just going to come straight out.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Oh, and he... Well, there was no doubt about it then.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Rijkaard spat on Voller as he walked past him

0:04:55 > 0:04:57and that is absolutely atrocious.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00If you're going to spit on someone, spit in their face,

0:05:00 > 0:05:02don't spit at the back of their head and run off, you know what I mean?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Like he was walking off and you could just see this loogie

0:05:05 > 0:05:08just hanging at the back, which I just thought, "This is awful."

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I guess if you asked Rijkaard about this moment,

0:05:11 > 0:05:15it's probably one of the things he regrets the most.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21From over here to over there. The World Cup went stateside in '94.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Ireland and Jack Charlton will be remembered in the USA

0:05:23 > 0:05:28for touchline bust-ups, water fights and a goal at Giants Stadium.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33That was in New Jersey and it was one of the hottest days of the year.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37That whole Irish team in 1994, they looked like everymen.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42A few of them has teeth missing, beer guts. It was a beautiful thing.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Coming from Queen's Park, not too far from Kilburn, which is

0:05:44 > 0:05:50a highly-populated Irish area, the streets were just packed.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52I'll never forget watching it with my dad.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54I think I was 12 at the time.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57No-one gave us a chance cos we played them four years ago,

0:05:57 > 0:06:01we got beaten in Rome. This was kind of like our second attempt at them.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Knocked down by Houghton, he goes for the shot and he scores!

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Ray Houghton!

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Ray's goal was really, really good,

0:06:10 > 0:06:14not just what it meant to everybody, but in the way he actually took it.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Pubs all around Kilburn kept replaying that

0:06:18 > 0:06:20and what an amazing goal.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23It was a phenomenal strike from a man who looked like...

0:06:23 > 0:06:24You wouldn't be surprised

0:06:24 > 0:06:26if Ray Houghton came round to do your plumbing.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28We've just scored against Italy, this is amazing,

0:06:28 > 0:06:31I can't believe we're 1-0 up after 11 minutes

0:06:31 > 0:06:34and then the sudden realisation of we're now going to get battered,

0:06:34 > 0:06:37we will now be battered by the Italians.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40And then for 79 minutes, it was like an act of God.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Whatever Paul McGrath was drinking the night before that game,

0:06:43 > 0:06:45nothing got past him.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48They were good value for the win that day

0:06:48 > 0:06:50and I think they really did surprise the Italians.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Our World Cup went downhill after 11 minutes.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56That was the best 11 minutes we had.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02At number 47, it's France against Kuwait

0:07:02 > 0:07:05and the curious case of a World Cup work-to-rule.

0:07:05 > 0:07:071982, it was in Spain.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13It was in the group stage, eh? I remember that.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Platini.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18And offside, is he? No, he's not, it's Alain Giresse.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20And that one counts.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Kuwait are appealing.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26France had scored a goal but there was a clear whistle in the stadium

0:07:26 > 0:07:29prior to the goal going in the net, not from the referee.

0:07:29 > 0:07:35Kuwait are contending, presumably, the legality of the goal.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37They all said that they heard a whistle.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40And so the goal doesn't count.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43It's the best way to get out of a goal ever.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Kuwaiti players threatened to leave the pitch.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48"We're coming off."

0:07:48 > 0:07:52And the sheikh came down and he had a conference with the referee.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55The Kuwait guys, like the proper guys, came on and were like,

0:07:55 > 0:07:58"Hey, there was a whistle."

0:07:58 > 0:08:00I think the sheikh thought he could take on everybody -

0:08:00 > 0:08:04FIFA, the world, France - and then he realised that, in actual fact,

0:08:04 > 0:08:05it was a football match.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09And I would imagine the head of the delegation has told

0:08:09 > 0:08:12the Kuwait players they must continue the game.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Could you imagine David Cameron saying to Gerrard,

0:08:16 > 0:08:18"Come off now - we're getting beat."?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21And the referee is going to talk to his linesman.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23And he's changed his mind!

0:08:23 > 0:08:28The French are walking off. They're refusing to carry on playing.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, it was chaos for about five minutes.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36And here we have a situation where a World Cup match cannot continue.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Neither side will accept the referee's decision.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42What an extraordinary scene here.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Off they all trooped, off they all came back

0:08:45 > 0:08:47and then France scored anyway.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Those moments, you watch in football and you're saying to yourself,

0:08:51 > 0:08:53"There's some crazy stuff out there."

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Moving on, and at 46,

0:08:57 > 0:09:00another moment from Italia '90 that doesn't involve phlegm -

0:09:00 > 0:09:02England and Belgium, the last 16,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04the match moments away from penalties.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Who would be the hero? Step forward Platt.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Well, a smile comes onto my face when I remember that goal.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13That was...

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I remember, you know, World Cups prior but only

0:09:16 > 0:09:21because of footage that I've seen since, but 1990 was the

0:09:21 > 0:09:27tournament that I just absolutely loved. I was ten or 11 at the time.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30If I could go back to any time in my life, it might be 1990, cos I

0:09:30 > 0:09:35remember everyone trying to recreate David Platt's goal against Belgium.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38I think we were heading towards penalties against Belgium,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41weren't we? And it was right towards the death.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43And chipped in.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45And volleyed in!

0:09:45 > 0:09:47And it's there by David Platt!

0:09:48 > 0:09:55England have done it in the last minute of extra time! Amazing!

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Platt has done some incredibly nifty footwork,

0:09:58 > 0:10:02almost like an acrobatic pirouette, and then just hooked it in.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Just to be able to follow that, the technique,

0:10:05 > 0:10:09the skill to then put it into the top corner is unbelievable.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13That turn and shot goes down as one of the most dramatic

0:10:13 > 0:10:16goals in the World Cup and probably one of the best.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I just saw the ball hit the back of the net

0:10:19 > 0:10:22and went off running up the street, so excited.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24What a time to score.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25I think that face says it all.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28That's the biggest smile in world football tonight.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31David Platt will long live in my memory for that goal.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Ow! My face! Eeh! - No, no, not like that.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39You've got to be a bit more theatrical, mate.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Act like you've just been slide tackled

0:10:41 > 0:10:43by my old team-mate Roy Keane.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45- All right.- Come on, let's go. - Let's have another go, go on.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Ow, my leg! My head as well!

0:10:48 > 0:10:50You're getting there but why don't we have a look at a real genius?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52OK, good idea, that is.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Here is an Oscar-winning performance from Brazilian striker

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Rivaldo at the 2002 World Cup.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I've always been a big fan of the beautiful game

0:11:02 > 0:11:05and I really like Brazil, Brazil football, it's fantastic,

0:11:05 > 0:11:09but what really let me down in 2002 was when Brazil were playing Turkey.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Turkish player kicks the ball in Rivaldo's direction for him

0:11:12 > 0:11:14to take a corner,

0:11:14 > 0:11:16it hits him clearly on the thigh,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19at which point, Rivaldo has then decided,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22"I can do two things in this situation - I can say,

0:11:22 > 0:11:26" 'That's not very fair, mate, don't do that,' or I can overact."

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Well, it didn't hit Rivaldo in the face.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35The ball hits you quite clearly on the thigh

0:11:35 > 0:11:38and you go down holding your face, it's just a bit embarrassing.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43At the time, he was one of the best in the world and he's doing that.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44Now, I don't know -

0:11:44 > 0:11:47did he get an electric shock that went from his knee

0:11:47 > 0:11:51all the way up through his waist and then straight up to his face?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Because I think that's probably what happened.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58He then twirled over as well like a baby and you're thinking,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01"Why are you doing this?" And then the Turkish guy gets sent off.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06He did kick the ball at Rivaldo but it did not hit Rivaldo in the face.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I would have loved if a guy comes out and goes,

0:12:08 > 0:12:11"The 2002 Oscar nomination goes to...Rivaldo."

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I don't think anyone in the world would have gone,

0:12:13 > 0:12:16"What do you mean, he wins the award?" It was beautiful acting.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18I don't know what must have gone through his mind to do that

0:12:18 > 0:12:22but I wonder if he sort of watches that back in a bit of shame.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23You're feigning injury

0:12:23 > 0:12:26and somebody gets sent off so that's not nice to see.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29It is one of the best things, one of my favourite World Cup memories.

0:12:29 > 0:12:30In fact, look, let's recreate it.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Throw this at me. Hit me here.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Ow! Ah!

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Do you want to do it again?

0:12:37 > 0:12:41RIO: Sweden in 1958 is the only time in World Cup history that

0:12:41 > 0:12:44all four home countries have qualified for the same tournament.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46England and Scotland bowed out at group stage,

0:12:46 > 0:12:50leaving Northern Ireland and Wales to fly the flag for the UK.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53My dad, when he was managing Wales in the early '90s

0:12:53 > 0:12:57and came really, really close to leading that team to the World Cup

0:12:57 > 0:13:01in '94, at that time, there was a lot of talk about the 1958

0:13:01 > 0:13:04World Cup which was the last time Wales had qualified.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Northern Ireland and Wales

0:13:05 > 0:13:08progressed further than you would have expected.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11It was a very historic moment for Welsh football, I think.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Wales, with John Charles in the team,

0:13:14 > 0:13:16who unfortunately got injured at a key time,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19they did ever so well, came very close to reaching the semifinals.

0:13:19 > 0:13:24Wales ended up being knocked out by Brazil with Pele playing.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30The buzz around Wales at that time must have been so, so good.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35The only World Cup they qualified for, but as a proud Welshman,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38nobody's ever been able to achieve that feat again,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40never mind a quarterfinal of a World Cup.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44Danny Blanchflower led Ireland and Danny, of course, was a philosopher.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47He used to say the game is not about winning, it's about glory.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You also have to mention Harry Gregg was in goal who'd come

0:13:50 > 0:13:53out of the Munich air crash to play in the World Cup.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58Blanchflower, and quite rightly so, chipping the ball

0:13:58 > 0:14:00and what a goal!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Yes, yes, that's the goal.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06And it's scored by that man, McParland, again.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Well, our tactics have always been

0:14:08 > 0:14:09to equalise before the other team scored.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think they scored first and then we equalised

0:14:12 > 0:14:14but we equalised the second time before they scored.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Clashes of culture have long been a feature of World Cups.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22East and West Germany met in 1974.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26But perhaps the most significant encounter came in France '98

0:14:26 > 0:14:28when the guardians of the free world

0:14:28 > 0:14:32took on a member of the so-called Axis Of Evil.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Or USA versus Iran to you and me.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37The game itself wasn't special but it was the whole build-up to it,

0:14:37 > 0:14:41the clash of ideologies, the clash of cultures, East versus West.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46MUSIC: "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

0:14:46 > 0:14:49The arse-clenching that went around the world when they saw that

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Iran were going to be drawn against the United States in '98.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57The hate of the two nations was at its full maximum.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Well, you knew who Iran were,

0:15:01 > 0:15:06they had Iran written quite boldly across their top.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11I notice that the Iranians have all brought on flowers to present,

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I think, to their opposite numbers.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17That demonstration of the flowers was one of those occasions

0:15:17 > 0:15:20when, despite everything that was going on, all the controversy,

0:15:20 > 0:15:23all the chaos, they were able to put it on the shelf for a minute

0:15:23 > 0:15:27and say, "Look, this is a field on which we can all come together."

0:15:27 > 0:15:30And the first shake of hands between the two captains.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33The atmosphere in the ground is extremely pleasant.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38I think it was probably a really nice moment and a really good

0:15:38 > 0:15:42display of what football can be and how it can bring people together.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45We all watched and went, "Ugh, I hope this doesn't kick off."

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Obviously, it did kick off cos that's football.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Regis trying to get back, Keller out to face him

0:15:54 > 0:15:58and it's beautifully placed by Mahdavikia,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01who confirms his position, for me, as man of the match.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04See, I reckon the American president said to the players,

0:16:04 > 0:16:07"Guys, I'm going to need you to lose this one, OK, because it's Iran,

0:16:07 > 0:16:10"it's going to really help me out for the next election."

0:16:12 > 0:16:16For them to win 2-1, I mean the world was just like...

0:16:16 > 0:16:17HE WHISTLES

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Before 1990, African football had played only

0:16:22 > 0:16:25a bit-part on the world stage, but in Italy,

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Cameroon and Roger Milla were about to change all that.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31That opening game was just...

0:16:31 > 0:16:33That's the World Cup at its very best.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Omam-Biyik.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Oh, and he's scored!

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Disaster for Pumpido

0:16:44 > 0:16:50and the Giuseppe Meazza stadium is an unbelievable sight!

0:16:50 > 0:16:51What a beautiful goal.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54I mean if there's any young schoolboys watching this,

0:16:54 > 0:16:56you should put this in slow motion.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00The technique, you know, I mean great football all round.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04Makanaky got the flick-on and Pumpido made an absolute

0:17:04 > 0:17:08hash of what should have been a simple save, poor fella.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12If you watch the goal back, look how high Omam-Biyik

0:17:12 > 0:17:14is off the ground, he's about 10ft off the ground.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18But it'll go down as goalkeeper error.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19Go on, son.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Rivelino, he had better feet than Nijinsky.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31And it's going to be Rivelino or Paulo Cezar Lima with the kick.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Rivelino was the free kick master of his day.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38And the Brazilians have put their own players in the wall again.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40Rivelino.

0:17:40 > 0:17:421-0!

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Obviously, a set piece,

0:17:43 > 0:17:45they've practised that on the training ground.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Actually, it didn't really come off cos the idea was that he would

0:17:48 > 0:17:51duck down behind one of the players and someone else would push him over.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53I mean that's classy, that's classy.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57A famous left foot right through the diving Brazilian player

0:17:57 > 0:18:00and it's paid off again for Brazil.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04To get it through that gap, not that size, it was about that size,

0:18:04 > 0:18:05is incredible.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09The goalkeeper clearly had no idea what was going on. What was that?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Who was that fella in the middle of our wall?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14All of a sudden, he goes down, Rivelino finds the gap perfectly

0:18:14 > 0:18:18and can go off and celebrate in beautiful Brazilian fashion.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Rivelino does what he threatened to do in the first half.

0:18:21 > 0:18:26In Chile, they had a nickname called "Patada Atomica" which means

0:18:26 > 0:18:29"Atomic Kick" which, obviously,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32denotes the fact that he smashes the ball rather hard.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Drilled through the wall.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Struck with precision and power.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, we've seen our first ten World Cup moments.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Olly, how's it been for you, pal? - Oh, mate, it's been great

0:18:43 > 0:18:45but I'm struggling with a bit of cramp at the moment.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- You take the next link, I'll be fine.- Are you sure?- Yeah, yeah.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50We've got Joey Essex downstairs if you don't fancy it.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's all right, Rio, don't worry about that,

0:18:53 > 0:18:55mate, I'm fine.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Yeah, I'm fine.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01RIO: Spain '82.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Algeria surprisingly beat West Germany

0:19:03 > 0:19:06and stood on the verge of qualifying for the second phase.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09However, with no simultaneous kick-offs in the group deciders, both

0:19:09 > 0:19:11the Germans and neighbours Austria,

0:19:11 > 0:19:14meeting each other in the last match, knew a narrow German win would

0:19:14 > 0:19:18send them both through and the Algerians home.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think people had a feeling that they might just play out

0:19:21 > 0:19:26the result that suited both nations at the start.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30The header by Hrubesch

0:19:30 > 0:19:33and West Germany are in front!

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Nothing happened.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Obviously, there was a goal but in all honesty,

0:19:38 > 0:19:41in the last half hour, nothing happened.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47To think that West Germany's World Cup record is second only to

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Brazil and they've allowed their good name to be tarnished.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55Is it professionalism, what they did, or is it cheating?

0:19:55 > 0:19:58You can't really say that it was a fix, but...

0:19:58 > 0:20:00West Germany and Austria, you know,

0:20:00 > 0:20:03some kind of alliance going on there, I don't know.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05And it was very difficult to disguise it

0:20:05 > 0:20:09and poor old Algeria just couldn't do anything about it.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12It was a shame, it was a great Algerian side.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14I think they could have gone on and won it, that Algerian side.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18It's a World Cup tie and they'll call it a disgrace.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Since then, of course, it's been changed

0:20:21 > 0:20:23so that the final group games kick off at the same time

0:20:23 > 0:20:26so you're not going to have that sort of situation happening again.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29You could still have it with three or four minutes to go, of course.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Whether it's Clive Thomas blowing for full-time as Brazil score

0:20:34 > 0:20:37or Graham Poll's three yellow cards, who'd be a referee?

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Imagine then the first minute of the 1974 World Cup final

0:20:40 > 0:20:44in West Germany, the hosts against Holland.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Cue Johan Cruyff and the man in the middle from the Midlands.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51There probably aren't two greater rivals in European football,

0:20:51 > 0:20:53they absolutely hate each other.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55And Johan Cruyff, captain of Holland,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58the best team I'd ever seen.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59Cruyff has come very deep indeed.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01He's the last player in the Dutch side.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04'And nobody liked West Germany.'

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Jack Taylor was the referee, wasn't he?

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Right through and brought down.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Penalty in the first minute of the World Cup and rightly so!

0:21:13 > 0:21:17I remember the penalty kick and I thought Jack Taylor got it right.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21Jack Taylor ten yards from the scene, no hesitation.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Doesn't matter when it happens - 30 seconds, 30 minutes -

0:21:24 > 0:21:25you've got to give it.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28But for some reason, it is a bigger decision early on in the game.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31The mental strength that must have taken for him

0:21:31 > 0:21:32to do that is phenomenal

0:21:32 > 0:21:34and that's why he's widely

0:21:34 > 0:21:39regarded as one of the greatest ever to come from these shores.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Beckenbauer complains, but that is pointless.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46I could just imagine people all over Germany just throwing clogs

0:21:46 > 0:21:49out of the window and pancakes, just building mountains,

0:21:49 > 0:21:51"We'll have nothing with these flat-earth people."

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Neeskens.

0:21:53 > 0:21:551-0.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00The goal scored after 80 seconds and I'm not quite sure that any

0:22:00 > 0:22:03German touched the ball in those 80 seconds.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04At that stage, you know,

0:22:04 > 0:22:06the Total Football of the Dutch,

0:22:06 > 0:22:10you thought it was all over, but the Germans had a good side as well,

0:22:10 > 0:22:12came back and won it in the end.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16So here's the scenario -

0:22:16 > 0:22:20the '78 World Cup in Argentina didn't have a knockout phase.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Instead, the finalists were decided by second round groups.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27Once again, simultaneous kick-offs were not in place,

0:22:27 > 0:22:30leaving hosts Argentina knowing that a win by four or more goals

0:22:30 > 0:22:35over Peru would see them, and not Brazil, advance to the final.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36Cue the conspiracy theories.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38That whole World Cup,

0:22:38 > 0:22:43there was a sort of underlying feeling of suspicion all the time.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Of course, the military junta, Videla was the president.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Kempes.

0:22:48 > 0:22:511-0.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54I mean there's a lot of controversy about this team, Peru,

0:22:54 > 0:22:55when they played Argentina.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Knocked in, Tarantini.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02There was loads of speculation

0:23:02 > 0:23:06and rumours about the Argentines having an influence over

0:23:06 > 0:23:09the Peruvian goalkeeper who was Argentine by birth.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Kempes, Kempes,

0:23:11 > 0:23:123-0!

0:23:12 > 0:23:15People will say the referees favoured them. I'm not

0:23:15 > 0:23:18so sure about that, but then, of course, it was very political.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19Very political.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Number 12, Larrosa.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Oh, it's...

0:23:23 > 0:23:24And Luque!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26I mean what do we know about Peru? Paddington Bear.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30And the fact that all them players were wearing duffel coats,

0:23:30 > 0:23:31a big floppy hat over their eyes

0:23:31 > 0:23:34and carrying a suitcase whilst eating marmalade.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36And he's really attacking the defence.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Right past him and Houseman scores.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43And they went on and won 6-0.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Luque!

0:23:45 > 0:23:466-0!

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Absolutely no controversy there for me(!)

0:23:54 > 0:23:58At 37, Ghana stood on the verge of history in 2010.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02Could they become the first African side to reach a World Cup semifinal?

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Between them and the last four is a game against Uruguay.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Fate was about to deal them a bad hand.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10We were all on Ghana's side.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12For some reason, people just don't like Uruguay

0:24:12 > 0:24:14and no-one really takes to them, and you know why?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16It's cos of the behaviour of people like Luis Suarez.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's there that he really came to the Great British public's

0:24:19 > 0:24:22attention by acting like an absolute plonker.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Why is it South Americans always handle the ball?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Diego Maradona, now Luis Suarez.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Here we go, Boateng's there!

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Keeper's lost it! Appiah's there!

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Blocked on the line! Blocked on the line again! Has it gone in?!

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Flag goes up and Ghana think they've got it! Ghana think they've scored.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40And the officials are going to have to step in here.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44He pawed that ball off the line and it was so blatant.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47And the referee thankfully saw it, gave him a red card.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Ghana have got a penalty with the last kick of the game.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Oh, I do not believe it, what drama!

0:24:56 > 0:24:58You felt he had to do it, it wasn't nice

0:24:58 > 0:25:00but sometimes instinct takes over.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04In Luis' defence, when you've got that will to win and you're

0:25:04 > 0:25:06so desperate to keep it out, I think

0:25:06 > 0:25:10it's just reactions took over rather than him actually thinking straight.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Everyone in the world wanted that penalty to go in.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Asamoah Gyan for Ghana.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Oh, and he's missed!

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Oh, I cannot believe it!

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Poor guy, the occasion was too big for him.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27And then you see Suarez in the tunnel celebrating like he'd just

0:25:27 > 0:25:32saved his team by being awful and it was just so horrible.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33It was like someone coming to a dinner party

0:25:33 > 0:25:35and taking a dump on your table

0:25:35 > 0:25:39and then pissing all over your gran and being sick in your toilet.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41I think, with Suarez, there was an element of him

0:25:41 > 0:25:43being up to his usual tricks.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47I understand why he got vilified for doing it

0:25:47 > 0:25:50and I understand how everyone felt for Gyan.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54But in that instance, you want to do whatever you can to

0:25:54 > 0:25:58prolong your side's stay in the competition.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00They were robbed in the last minute.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Went on to a penalty shoot out, Gyan scored,

0:26:02 > 0:26:04but it was too little, too late.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Who says cheaters don't prosper, eh?

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Let's say Rooney does that, Rooney does that on the line,

0:26:10 > 0:26:13he gets sent off but we go through.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I don't think the press are going for him

0:26:16 > 0:26:18in the way that they went for Suarez.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Next on the list is a man bearing the name of a Spartan warrior-king,

0:26:22 > 0:26:23or Leonidas to his mum,

0:26:23 > 0:26:27but perhaps he's best remembered for popularizing the bicycle kick.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Ah, the bicycle kick.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32Right, I bet his bicycle kick is nowhere near as good

0:26:32 > 0:26:34as my bicycle kick.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36- All right, let's see what you've got. - Yeah?- Take that.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Right, you need to throw the ball in a second, let me just get warmed up.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43- You ready?- Yeah, let's go.- OK.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45One, two...

0:26:45 > 0:26:47BELL RINGS

0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Olly.- You see?- You're just too much of a joker, man, stop messing about.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53That's right, that's right.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55BELL RINGS

0:26:55 > 0:26:57MUSIC: "Bicycle Race" by Queen

0:26:59 > 0:27:01The overhead kick, the bicycle kick.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04In Brazil, they will swear it's a Brazilian invention from

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Leonidas da Silva, who was the top goal-scorer in the 1938 World Cup.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Leonidas, I think, would have been, if you like, the pre-war

0:27:12 > 0:27:19forerunner of the Vavas and the Gersons and even the Peles in a way.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23So, this was the man that allegedly invented the bicycle kick, or

0:27:23 > 0:27:26he fell backwards and managed to kick the ball, you know?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Through adversity came triumph.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33In 1938 in Paris just before the war, Brazil were hot favourites.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35It was quite controversial then

0:27:35 > 0:27:39because he was a black centre forward and brilliant with the ball

0:27:39 > 0:27:43so we're told. Little bits of film have crept through down the years.

0:27:43 > 0:27:44The Italian team, of course,

0:27:44 > 0:27:49they were sort of, under Mussolini's encouragement, expected to win.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53But anyway, in the semifinal, Brazil decided to leave Leonidas out

0:27:53 > 0:27:56and as it happens with all those things, they lost in Marseille and

0:27:56 > 0:27:59as a result of that, didn't get to the final of the World Cup

0:27:59 > 0:28:01and Italy won it.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08At 35 is perhaps one of the World Cup's lowest moments

0:28:08 > 0:28:12but out of the darkness came light as the world of football united

0:28:12 > 0:28:16in its condemnation of a horrible crime against one of its own.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Harkes looking for Stewart, he's turned it into his own goal!

0:28:21 > 0:28:24The US take the lead with an own goal from Escobar!

0:28:27 > 0:28:30It was a dreadful mistake by Escobar but I don't think anybody had

0:28:30 > 0:28:36any idea at the time what the consequences of that

0:28:36 > 0:28:39comedy own goal would have been for that player.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43To Escobar, and his country, Colombia, it was no laughing

0:28:43 > 0:28:46matter because they, ultimately, were out of the World Cup.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50In Colombia, gunmen have shot dead a World Cup footballer who'd

0:28:50 > 0:28:52just returned home from the tournament in America.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55This was where Andres Escobar lost his life,

0:28:55 > 0:28:59shot 12 times at close range outside a Medellin restaurant after

0:28:59 > 0:29:01an argument with a group of three men.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04One of them was heard to say, "Thank you for the goal."

0:29:04 > 0:29:08It was an awful moment for football when we realised what had

0:29:08 > 0:29:12happened to that poor lad who was just 27 years of age.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13He'd made a simple mistake.

0:29:13 > 0:29:18Everybody for 20 seconds just sat in stunned silence.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21In Colombia meanwhile, one theory to account for the killing involves

0:29:21 > 0:29:26revenge by drug traffickers who bet and lost on Colombia's performance.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28For somebody to actually be shot

0:29:28 > 0:29:31because they scored an own goal - madness.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Football is full of passion

0:29:34 > 0:29:40and whoever said it's only a game clearly was not a Colombian.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah, it just showed how people can go too far.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45I mean that's one of the great World Cup tragedies.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48That's just unthinkable.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52And yet the haunted look on his face, you look at it now

0:29:52 > 0:29:54and all sorts of thoughts come into your head.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02No matter what nationality or era,

0:30:02 > 0:30:05fans dream of their team scoring the perfect goal.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Perhaps there is no such thing.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11However in 2006, Esteban Cambiasso

0:30:11 > 0:30:14and Argentina attempted to dispel that myth.

0:30:14 > 0:30:192006, Argentina were very unlucky, actually, not to win the World Cup,

0:30:19 > 0:30:21they had an amazing team, but they scored this amazing goal.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26Kezman, beyond Mascherano. But he has it back again.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30I think probably when coaches talk to little kids about teamwork

0:30:30 > 0:30:33and good football and good ethos,

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Cambiasso's goal is the one that they will be able to quote.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43Mascherano. Riquelme.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Here's Ayala.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48If ever you needed a demonstration that winning a game's

0:30:48 > 0:30:51about all the players involved and not just the striker, that was it.

0:30:53 > 0:30:57You know, the Argentinian goal was just the total team goal.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00I think it was 24 passes and it was just patient, patient,

0:31:00 > 0:31:02getting their movement around,

0:31:02 > 0:31:05and then suddenly just switched up the tempo and it was just

0:31:05 > 0:31:10one-touch, the back heel from Crespo and then bang, finish.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12It was a total team goal, you know.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14The manager's got to be proud of that one.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18This is Saviola, flicked on by Cambiasso, gets it back

0:31:18 > 0:31:22and that's a beautifully-worked second goal for Argentina!

0:31:26 > 0:31:30At number 33, it's 1974, Brazil are playing Zaire

0:31:30 > 0:31:33who are making their first and only appearance at a World Cup.

0:31:33 > 0:31:37Brazil have just been awarded a free kick. So what happened next?

0:31:37 > 0:31:38It was a thing that was totally unexpected,

0:31:38 > 0:31:41you'd never seen it, I think, before in football

0:31:41 > 0:31:44and you'll never see it again, it was just absolutely crazy.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Zaire's right-back, Ilunga Mwepu,

0:31:47 > 0:31:51was basically in the wall waiting for Brazil to take the free kick.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54And he's like, "I'm not having this, they're going to score from this."

0:31:54 > 0:31:58"I'm just looking. Could I...could I score from here?"

0:31:59 > 0:32:00REFEREE BLOWS WHISTLE

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Well, what on Earth did he do that for?

0:32:05 > 0:32:09I don't know. I'm still trying to work out what his thinking was.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Did he just get tired of waiting for Brazil to take the free kick?

0:32:12 > 0:32:13What is he doing?

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Everyone's looking in disbelief. The players' faces from his own

0:32:16 > 0:32:19team are like, "What?" And you can't work out if he's just over-excited.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21It's almost like a petulant kid.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Remember if you were losing at a game, like Monopoly,

0:32:24 > 0:32:25you'd just flip over the board.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27He hasn't got a clue about the rules,

0:32:27 > 0:32:30but whatever it is, he certainly wrote himself into the history books.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33And then he turns round and he gets a yellow card. He's like, "What?

0:32:33 > 0:32:34"A yellow card for that?"

0:32:34 > 0:32:37If anything, I'd have wanted a red card so I can have a break

0:32:37 > 0:32:39cos I'm being assaulted here by the Brazilian forwards.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42"Feck it, I've had enough, I'm just going to kick it away."

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Completely unnecessary.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49I just remember laughing and then again,

0:32:49 > 0:32:52it's one of these clips that it's stood the test of time.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56If you see it now, it is absolutely fantastic.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58If in doubt, kick it out, even if it's their free kick.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Let's make up our own rules, Zaire. Do as you want.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02- HORN BLOWS - Yes, Rio,

0:33:02 > 0:33:05the World Cup is coming and I've got my horn ready.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Let me have a go at this.- Whoa, be careful, it's my favourite one.

0:33:08 > 0:33:09HORN BLOWS

0:33:09 > 0:33:10Beautiful.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12HORN TOOTS

0:33:14 > 0:33:15What's up?

0:33:15 > 0:33:16You just broke my horn.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19- No, I didn't. What are you talking about?- I just saw you do it!

0:33:19 > 0:33:21- I didn't. - Oh, mate, you just broke my...

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Look, there's only one way to sort this out.- What's that?

0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Modern technology.- OK.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Oh, you were right, sorry. - Yeah.- OK, cool.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37Goal-line technology.

0:33:37 > 0:33:38Goal-line technology.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Goal-line technology.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Goal-line technology, we need it.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48South Africa 2010, I was in the pub watching England.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm there at the pub with pride.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52And I remember watching that game with the lads.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54I was at the pub for that game actually.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57I was watching that game in a hotel.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00I was at Glastonbury when it happened.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02It was 2-1 just before half-time.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05I was commentating with Guy, Guy Mowbray, and he kind of described it.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09Milner, Defoe, that's a lovely touch.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Lampard! Brilliant!

0:34:12 > 0:34:14Goes over the line, clearly a goal.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18We didn't need a replay to see how far over the line that ball

0:34:18 > 0:34:21- had gone.- A metre, I mean, genuinely, a metre.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23You know, two or three feet over the line.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27Even Fabio Capello on the side was jumping up and down, clapped,

0:34:27 > 0:34:28that was definitely a goal.

0:34:28 > 0:34:32Even from where I was, over 120 yards away,

0:34:32 > 0:34:34I could see that ball had gone over the line.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38Everyone on the pitch, everyone in the crowd, everyone watching

0:34:38 > 0:34:42it on TV can see that except for the clowns who were officiating.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44That surely crossed the line!

0:34:45 > 0:34:47It's not been given!

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Simultaneously, everyone just clicked and went,

0:34:51 > 0:34:55- "They haven't given a goal." - I mean I lost it, I was very cross.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58I remember the pub was just distraught, people were going crazy.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59We couldn't believe it, we were robbed,

0:34:59 > 0:35:01it was the goal that never was.

0:35:01 > 0:35:05Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible decision.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Oh, it's in!- Awwwww! - It's so far in!

0:35:08 > 0:35:12It was a goal, and, you know, should've counted but, yeah,

0:35:12 > 0:35:13referee's decision, they say.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16You know, there's never been a better argument for goal line

0:35:16 > 0:35:20technology, although I think Blatter, predictably,

0:35:20 > 0:35:23just sort of said, "No, it's nice, this humour is nice."

0:35:23 > 0:35:24Not really, actually, Sepp.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26And then I think there was...

0:35:26 > 0:35:29A picture of Blatter was cut up, and I just went into this mad rant,

0:35:29 > 0:35:32but I wasn't too personal.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34What is it FIFA don't want? Technology.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Thanks very much, Sepp Blatter.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38I hope he's squirming in his seat, by the way.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Why you won't have technology at this level I will never, ever know.

0:35:42 > 0:35:46And, lo and behold, technology, but it took a long time to come.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48The more you're chasing the goal, you have to take risks

0:35:48 > 0:35:51and leave spaces and against a good team you're going to get punished.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53People say, "It wouldn't have changed the game,"

0:35:53 > 0:35:55but goals change games. You just never know.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57That was the turning point in that game.

0:35:57 > 0:36:02If Frank's goal would have stood, who knows what would've happened?

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Do you remember when goal celebrations were like this?

0:36:05 > 0:36:06And this?

0:36:06 > 0:36:09And this? Yeah, not a lot of variety there,

0:36:09 > 0:36:13but then out of Africa came a man who was destined to change it all.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Everybody knows that African players

0:36:16 > 0:36:18and birth certificates are a bit strange.

0:36:18 > 0:36:19HE LAUGHS

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Roger Milla was in his late 30s, wasn't he,

0:36:22 > 0:36:24when he played in that World Cup? I'm sure he was.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27I mean, no-one ever quite got to the bottom... I think he was about 50.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Was he? Was he 50?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32And for some reason this guy could not stop scoring.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36COMMENTATOR: Ooh, it could be another one! Yes, it is, two!

0:36:36 > 0:36:37It's a very good goal.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40And as soon as he scored he found a corner flag and did this sort of

0:36:40 > 0:36:44wiggly dance round the corner flag, I can't remember what it was,

0:36:44 > 0:36:47but he used to get the corner flag and start doing some sort of dance.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Roger Milla. I remember that.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52Just definitely the Roger... Just doing a bit of that.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58Like, shaking himself, kind of like this, or,

0:36:58 > 0:37:00I think it was something like this.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03It was pretty much the dance that your dad does at every wedding,

0:37:03 > 0:37:05but it just had a little bit more G to it.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08I mean, those hips, those hips could move,

0:37:08 > 0:37:11and he sort of seduced the corner flag.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Erm, and it was great!

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Roger Milla's dancing skills I could definitely use

0:37:16 > 0:37:18when I was doing Strictly, that's for sure!

0:37:18 > 0:37:22Erm, nice rhythm, good core, and a cracking goal.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26And Andone's suddenly under pressure from Milla.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Milla! Oh!

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Well, well, well.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32Cameroon 1, Romania 0.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36It was one of the first times that celebrations were done like that,

0:37:36 > 0:37:40and I think he captured the imagination of everyone at the time.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Good finish, have to say that.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46He'll go down in folklore, won't he, for that dance?

0:37:48 > 0:37:49Ah, Beckham on live cam.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52OK, so here we are at number 30 on the list.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55And one of England's most dynamic midfield players.

0:37:55 > 0:37:59Yeah, so lie back and watch as David Beckham goes from zero to hero

0:37:59 > 0:38:00against the old enemy.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03No, the old enemy's Scotland, you egg.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06OK, sorry, mate. Erm, so this is David Beckham versus Argentina.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12England, we love to hate people,

0:38:12 > 0:38:15and then we love to feel sorry for the fact that everyone hated them.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Everybody knew him, he was at United, he had the fancy hair,

0:38:18 > 0:38:21he had the girlfriend, and so he was kind of an easy one to dislike.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29COMMENTATOR: He did move his right leg,

0:38:29 > 0:38:31but it seemed to be something and nothing.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38If you're going to have a go at someone, don't flick your leg up.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41You know, properly assault them.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44When I look at it now, it's so... It was so soft.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46And a red card for David Beckham!

0:38:46 > 0:38:49What an awful time to receive a red card.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Well, it's nothing. He's obviously not hurt the guy

0:38:55 > 0:38:58but you're not allowed to do that and it's a red card.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02To say that I didn't appreciate Diego Simeone at that time

0:39:02 > 0:39:05would be an understatement, but, you know, that's football.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08It just called his character into question for me.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11I know you get frustrated and I know that you live on that edge,

0:39:11 > 0:39:14but it has to be controlled and he lost it at that moment.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18I was only a couple of yards from that incident, erm,

0:39:18 > 0:39:20I could never blame him for what happened.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Things go on on a pitch that sometimes

0:39:23 > 0:39:26you've got to forgive and forget. He regretted it, he apologised.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29We were unlucky in that game, there's no question.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31I mean, Beckham's sending off, yes, he was petulant,

0:39:31 > 0:39:34and, and he was...

0:39:35 > 0:39:37He was sort of taken advantage of,

0:39:37 > 0:39:39but you can't do that sort of thing in a World Cup

0:39:39 > 0:39:41and he would know that.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43From there, Beckham's became Public Enemy Number One.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45I remember picking up a newspaper the next day

0:39:45 > 0:39:48and seeing the player ratings that they have.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51It got down to Beckham and they had a massive zero and it just said,

0:39:51 > 0:39:52"You cost us the World Cup."

0:39:52 > 0:39:54It's like, "Come on, man, leave him alone."

0:39:54 > 0:39:57The fans certainly made it clear what they thought about him.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59They blamed him for everything, it was his fault.

0:39:59 > 0:40:00It was David Beckham's fault.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03When he came back they were burning effigies of him in the street.

0:40:03 > 0:40:07I think in retrospect we were all a little unreasonable about that.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09I mean, he was only a young lad, weren't he, 22?

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Some of us were worried that he looked like he'd used a blow dryer at half-time.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16He came back out, his hair looked like it had been done. But other than that...

0:40:16 > 0:40:18I thought he handled the situation very, very well,

0:40:18 > 0:40:20to come back from '98.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24In the World Cup four years later it almost spurred him on as well

0:40:24 > 0:40:26in terms of when I got brought down actually

0:40:26 > 0:40:30for the penalty and he took the penalty against Argentina.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33I'm just thinking how big was the pressure

0:40:33 > 0:40:37when he was holding the ball on the penalty spot!

0:40:37 > 0:40:39In such moments, you just think,

0:40:39 > 0:40:42"I don't want to fail and I can't fail again."

0:40:42 > 0:40:46It was like somebody in front of a parole board.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Four years of imprisonment could all be taken away

0:40:49 > 0:40:51if he scores this penalty.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54JOHN MOTSON: Hold the cups and the glasses back home.

0:40:54 > 0:40:58You can smash them now, Beckham has scored for England!

0:40:58 > 0:41:0144 minutes, and he's done it again!

0:41:02 > 0:41:07David Beckham puts England in front against Argentina in Sapporo!

0:41:08 > 0:41:10All is forgiven.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13Did he redeem himself? He absolutely did,

0:41:13 > 0:41:14and I think as he went away from that,

0:41:14 > 0:41:16I thought that was part of his growing up process.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19And he went from kind of there to there instantly

0:41:19 > 0:41:21by putting that penalty away.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24We obviously went on to win 1-0, and, erm, well,

0:41:24 > 0:41:26you could say get our own back.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32USA '94 kicked off with a bad penalty...

0:41:34 > 0:41:35..and ended with one too,

0:41:35 > 0:41:40as Italy faced Brazil in the first ever shoot out in a World Cup Final.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Here's 29.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44Let's talk Roberto Baggio, 1994,

0:41:44 > 0:41:46he was pretty much the best player in the world.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49He had saved Italy throughout that tournament,

0:41:49 > 0:41:52he was the player, you know, he was their number one player.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55All I really remember about Roberto Baggio is that pony tail.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57- It's like, what?! - I want to say pony tail,

0:41:57 > 0:41:59it was more like a sort of rat's tail, wasn't it?

0:41:59 > 0:42:02It looked like maybe he had a tiny bit of Velcro on the back of

0:42:02 > 0:42:05his head, and then just every time before a match, he was just like,

0:42:05 > 0:42:07"I'm just going to put that on now."

0:42:07 > 0:42:10If you had that haircut now you would be on a register.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12There's no two ways about it.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16The USA '94 final was probably the biggest anticlimax in the world.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Time pass, you don't score, you say,

0:42:18 > 0:42:21"Don't know how this game will finish,"

0:42:21 > 0:42:24but I think even that for us was

0:42:24 > 0:42:29to break something that was very difficult for us, penalty kicks.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34BARRY DAVIES: The Brazilian captain with the chance.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35And scores!

0:42:36 > 0:42:39When the pressure's on, it's a very difficult skill to master,

0:42:39 > 0:42:41taking a penalty.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45BARRY DAVIES: All the pressure now on Roberto Baggio, who has to score.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47We can all do it in training

0:42:47 > 0:42:50but once you get onto the big stage it can become more difficult.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55BARRY DAVIES: The man who really has brought the team to the final

0:42:55 > 0:42:56now has to save them.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58And doesn't!

0:42:58 > 0:42:59It's over the top!

0:42:59 > 0:43:03Brazil have won the World Cup!

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Amazing scenes, obviously costing Italy, or one of their best players

0:43:06 > 0:43:10costing them the chance of winning the tournament.

0:43:10 > 0:43:15To win a World Cup after 120 minutes and penalty kicks,

0:43:15 > 0:43:20when Baggio kicked it out, and then it was time to celebrate.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25BARRY DAVIES: No words can console one of the great players.

0:43:25 > 0:43:26What a time to miss.

0:43:26 > 0:43:30It was the pony tail. Just keep him off balance.

0:43:33 > 0:43:37Really, if ever there was home field advantage, as they would say

0:43:37 > 0:43:42in the NFL, Argentina made the most of it with the tickertape.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45It is just cascading down, man, it was just crazy.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47Teams come out, it's just pouring tickertape!

0:43:47 > 0:43:50You actually watch the games, and half of you was going,

0:43:50 > 0:43:52"This is an amazing game of football,"

0:43:52 > 0:43:56and the rest of you was thinking, "Oh, someone's got to clear this up."

0:43:56 > 0:43:59MUSIC: "Oh What A Circus" by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice

0:44:04 > 0:44:05RIO: 'Argentina, '78.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08Home fans welcome their team onto the field with tickertape.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10To a man they were acclaimed,

0:44:10 > 0:44:13but one in particular received more attention than the rest.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16He was Super Mario. Kempes that is.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18The names that came out were Kempes.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20They had Bertoni, they had Passarella at the back,

0:44:20 > 0:44:22Ossie Ardiles, they were a real hardworking side,

0:44:22 > 0:44:25and that's talking about the right balance.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27They all seemed to have this long, curly hair.

0:44:27 > 0:44:31They all looked similar, didn't they, and just very Latin.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34Mario Kempes was sensational, played upfront with Luque,

0:44:34 > 0:44:36and I remember the goal he scored against Holland

0:44:36 > 0:44:38when he dragged it past the goalkeeper.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42Luque, Kempes!

0:44:42 > 0:44:441-0.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47So the superstitious Kempes strikes again!

0:44:47 > 0:44:50Kempes got all the glory, as much as Luque did very well as well,

0:44:50 > 0:44:52but that goes to show what people want

0:44:52 > 0:44:54and what people remember, the silky skills.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59Powering through, Kempes!

0:44:59 > 0:45:01Oh, Jongbloed's claiming, and it's gone in!

0:45:03 > 0:45:05They had to win. I didn't think Holland had a chance

0:45:05 > 0:45:07when they played them in the final.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09I just knew Holland weren't going to do it.

0:45:09 > 0:45:10It's finished!

0:45:12 > 0:45:15Argentina win the '78 World Cup!

0:45:17 > 0:45:19So, Mario Kempes with his long flowing locks

0:45:19 > 0:45:21and those tight shorts...

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Doesn't get any better than that.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26If you're a Northern Ireland football fan there's one

0:45:26 > 0:45:29legendary player who stands head and shoulders above all others.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Yes, along with the dizzying ball skills,

0:45:31 > 0:45:33there were the playboy good looks,

0:45:33 > 0:45:35the model girlfriends and the partying.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37- Of course, we're only talking about one guy.- Yep.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40No, not you, Rio. This is Gerry Armstrong, and this is him

0:45:40 > 0:45:45scoring Northern Ireland's most famous World Cup goal in 1982.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47- And I wasn't even born. - Nor was I, mate.

0:45:51 > 0:45:54The Gerry Armstrong goal that he never stops talking about.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57Good old Gerry. Yeah, no, Gerry's one of the good guys.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59Northern Ireland had to beat Spain that day, right,

0:45:59 > 0:46:02to get out of the group. And they had to fight against Spain,

0:46:02 > 0:46:06and one thing Northern Ireland is very good at is fighting.

0:46:06 > 0:46:09Gerry Armstrong scores one goal for Northern Ireland against Spain

0:46:09 > 0:46:12in 1982, and has built a career off the back of it!

0:46:12 > 0:46:16He now works in Spain, he's a Spanish football expert, isn't he?

0:46:16 > 0:46:18Mal Donaghy had been sent off early in the game,

0:46:18 > 0:46:21they were down to ten men, nobody really fancied them, erm,

0:46:21 > 0:46:26and then for Northern Ireland to score this goal was fantastic.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29Gerry Armstrong, what a worker he is.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31Striding away there with Hamilton to his right,

0:46:31 > 0:46:33Norman Whiteside up on the far side of the area.

0:46:33 > 0:46:37Still Billy Hamilton, he's gone past Tendillo.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39And Arconada... Armstrong!

0:46:40 > 0:46:44Northern Ireland have scored through Gerry Armstrong!

0:46:44 > 0:46:46A mistake by the goalkeeper

0:46:46 > 0:46:49and it's the 100th goal of this World Cup tournament.

0:46:49 > 0:46:50He scores it,

0:46:50 > 0:46:53Northern Ireland go on to get through the group against all odds.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55And Dana sings a song about him.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57I mean, there are not many World Cup anthems that go,

0:46:57 > 0:47:01"When your man gets the ball, Northern Ireland score a goal."

0:47:01 > 0:47:05It was brilliant, they managed to rhyme "ball" with "goal" fabulously.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08It was like Northern Ireland taught Spain how to play football,

0:47:08 > 0:47:10and they've taken on the Armstrong way.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13And Northern Ireland have taken the lead.

0:47:13 > 0:47:14To be fair to Gerry,

0:47:14 > 0:47:18he's probably spoken at 3,000 dinners on the back of it.

0:47:18 > 0:47:19Good luck.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Because of their part in the Second World War, Germany were

0:47:25 > 0:47:28banned from the 1950 World Cup.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31In 1954 in Switzerland, though, they were back,

0:47:31 > 0:47:34playing as West Germany for the first time.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37The Germans had already lost to Hungary 8-3 in the group stages

0:47:37 > 0:47:40when the two met again in the final.

0:47:40 > 0:47:41There could only be one winner surely?

0:47:41 > 0:47:44Throughout the Cup series, Hungary had been the favourites,

0:47:44 > 0:47:47and indeed it only took them six minutes to score.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49A splendid goal by their captain Puskas.

0:47:50 > 0:47:54This is something quite amazing because Hungary were unbeaten

0:47:54 > 0:47:59over 30-something games, er, they had Puskas, Hidegkuti, Kocsis,

0:47:59 > 0:48:00the great Hungarian side,

0:48:00 > 0:48:03and they went fairly quickly in this final 2-0 up.

0:48:03 > 0:48:06Only two minutes later the German defence fumble

0:48:06 > 0:48:08and Czibor went through with another.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10The Germans looked out of it.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12"Well, I'll be schnitzeled!"

0:48:12 > 0:48:15The Germans saw the rain coming down.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Sepp Herberger was the manager, but they had a man with them

0:48:18 > 0:48:20called Adi Dassler,

0:48:20 > 0:48:23and this was the first time any sort of technology came into football,

0:48:23 > 0:48:27because Adi Dassler gave the German team longer studs

0:48:27 > 0:48:30so that they could cover the ground more easily in the second half.

0:48:30 > 0:48:34And blow me down, they came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40A long shot from Rahn gave the World Cup to Germany.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44It seems strange to us now to think that that was a shock result.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47But let's not forget that, you know, this was in Switzerland,

0:48:47 > 0:48:50this was 1954, this was only a few years after the Swiss had

0:48:50 > 0:48:52helped the Germans a lot!

0:48:52 > 0:48:54It was significant politically

0:48:54 > 0:48:56because it was only nine years after the War,

0:48:56 > 0:48:58and this was Germany rebuilding.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06RIO: Mexico '86, no wins after two games,

0:49:06 > 0:49:09Bryan Robson injured, Ray Wilkins suspended,

0:49:09 > 0:49:12England's campaign is on the slide,

0:49:12 > 0:49:14leaving Bobby Robson with much to ponder.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16How could he get the team back on track?

0:49:16 > 0:49:18Where were the goals going to come from?

0:49:18 > 0:49:22He put his faith in a crisp finisher from Leicester.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24He was good-looking, he could score goals,

0:49:24 > 0:49:26he was kind of like the George Clooney of football.

0:49:26 > 0:49:30If you were going to go into war you'd follow Gary Lineker.

0:49:30 > 0:49:33BARRY DAVIES: Lineker checking back when he might have gone straight on.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Trevor Steven is unmarked, Gary Stevens coming up on the right.

0:49:37 > 0:49:40Four in the area, Lineker!

0:49:43 > 0:49:45You know, I was under pressure going into the Poland game.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48I was lucky to be picked, to be perfectly honest,

0:49:48 > 0:49:51but Bobby Robson stuck by me and he dropped Mark Hateley,

0:49:51 > 0:49:54and he could easily have dropped me.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57Him and Beardsley in that game were just immense.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Beardsley looking very lively, what a lovely first-time ball.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03Lineker far side, coming in on it now!

0:50:03 > 0:50:06Magnificent goal!

0:50:08 > 0:50:10With his arm all bandaged up,

0:50:10 > 0:50:13I think I bandaged up me own arm when I was a kid as well.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16"I like this bandaged-up arm thing that he's doing out there."

0:50:16 > 0:50:19Sort of broke my wrist in a friendly against Canada

0:50:19 > 0:50:22just prior to the World Cup, but thankfully they allowed me

0:50:22 > 0:50:24to play in this sort of splint/bandage.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27That became so iconic. Kids everywhere were going out,

0:50:27 > 0:50:29breaking their arms, throwing themselves down stairs.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34BARRY DAVIES: Mlynarczyk loses it,

0:50:34 > 0:50:36and Lineker says thank you very much!

0:50:38 > 0:50:41It was kind of a typical Gary Lineker hat-trick.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43You know, sort of six yard box, goal poacher, you know,

0:50:43 > 0:50:45getting those goals.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47This lad from Leicester kind of launched himself onto

0:50:47 > 0:50:50the global stratosphere with that hat-trick against Poland,

0:50:50 > 0:50:53which then took England on through the tournament.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56Maradona won the Golden Ball, didn't he, Player of the Tournament,

0:50:56 > 0:50:59and Lineker scored more goals in a World Cup than anyone else.

0:50:59 > 0:51:01Ooh! That's special, isn't it?

0:51:01 > 0:51:03All of a sudden, having had a bit of a bad spell,

0:51:03 > 0:51:05I score a hat-trick, two goals in the next game,

0:51:05 > 0:51:07another one against Argentina,

0:51:07 > 0:51:10and suddenly I was top scorer, I ended up winning the Golden Boot,

0:51:10 > 0:51:12and then I moved to Barcelona

0:51:12 > 0:51:14and I was known right throughout the world,

0:51:14 > 0:51:16and things were massively different after that.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Everywhere I went I was sort of recognised.

0:51:18 > 0:51:19It's Gary Lineker.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22I mean, we know him now for Match Of The Day and crisps,

0:51:22 > 0:51:24but back in the day he was unstoppable.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29Everyone loves an underdog story.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32In 1966, the World Cup was stolen

0:51:32 > 0:51:34only four months before the finals in England.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37However, just a week later, it was recovered

0:51:37 > 0:51:41when Pickles the dog found it under a hedge in South London.

0:51:41 > 0:51:42Ah, what a great dog.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45With its safe return the tournament got under way,

0:51:45 > 0:51:47and another underdog had its day

0:51:47 > 0:51:49as a North Korean Pak-man ate the Italians.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51I don't think he was ever the greatest player

0:51:51 > 0:51:54but if you talk to people of a certain age about 1966,

0:51:54 > 0:51:57somebody will mention Pak Doo-ik.

0:51:57 > 0:52:01Certainly one of the most famous three-named men in football history.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04Koreans, they're only about five foot four, most of them.

0:52:05 > 0:52:06Pak Doo-ik...

0:52:09 > 0:52:11Pak Doo-ik is the man who will always be

0:52:11 > 0:52:14remembered for scoring that rather scruffy goal

0:52:14 > 0:52:18which gave the Koreans victory, and the Italians came home to have

0:52:18 > 0:52:22tomatoes thrown at them at the airport, and they had to almost...

0:52:22 > 0:52:24They spent the next four years and more...

0:52:24 > 0:52:26They still haven't lived it down completely, of course, Italy.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29North Korea...

0:52:29 > 0:52:321966, we'll never see them at the World Cup ever again.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35We'll never see 'em anywhere outside North Korea, will we?

0:52:35 > 0:52:38It must be in the top three, that, of all-time football results!

0:52:38 > 0:52:43Pak Doo-ik against the Italians, North Korea, in Middlesbrough,

0:52:43 > 0:52:45most people miss that bit out, thank you very much.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51- You know that my name isn't Olly Murs.- No? What is it, then?

0:52:51 > 0:52:56My real name is Edson Arantes Chiquamento Olly Murzinho!

0:52:56 > 0:52:57Oh, right, like Pele, then?

0:52:57 > 0:52:58Exactly like that,

0:52:58 > 0:53:01and it's not the only thing I've got in common with him.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04- Honestly, Olly?- Yeah.- I don't want to pry into your private life...

0:53:04 > 0:53:06No, no, no, not that.

0:53:06 > 0:53:10I'm at the best on a football pitch when I don't have the ball.

0:53:10 > 0:53:15Here's the great man doing just that against Uruguay in 1970.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18- It's my real name. - All right.- It is.- I believe ya.

0:53:22 > 0:53:25I was 15 and right into football

0:53:25 > 0:53:28and watched every game in that World Cup.

0:53:28 > 0:53:30The best dummy I've seen,

0:53:30 > 0:53:33because he doesn't even touch the ball, it's just brilliant!

0:53:33 > 0:53:36It's something you would dream about doing yourself.

0:53:36 > 0:53:38Pele's racing into space,

0:53:38 > 0:53:40and he's going to get a fourth!

0:53:40 > 0:53:43Oh, what...what genius!

0:53:43 > 0:53:45And he's missed it!

0:53:45 > 0:53:47I think this one against Uruguay, the dribbling,

0:53:47 > 0:53:50the feint that he invent in that moment,

0:53:50 > 0:53:52and then for two centimetres goes out.

0:53:52 > 0:53:56But then what annoys me is he does all that hard work and he misses.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59The fact it didn't go in still makes it a great piece of skill.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01It almost makes it better, to be honest,

0:54:01 > 0:54:04because the audacity of the man to sell a dummy like that,

0:54:04 > 0:54:07and the poor goalie, he must have been sweating buckets.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09It disnae matter how many times you see that clip,

0:54:09 > 0:54:11it is absolutely sensational.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14After more than 1,000 goals,

0:54:14 > 0:54:17I think we try to remember the goals he didn't score.

0:54:17 > 0:54:19Incredible!

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Look at this, how he runs across the ball!

0:54:22 > 0:54:27And just puts it wide of the far post!

0:54:27 > 0:54:30RIO: One of my favourite paintings is Edvard Munch's The Scream.

0:54:30 > 0:54:31Well, at number 22,

0:54:31 > 0:54:35here's the football equivalent from Argentina versus Greece in 1994.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39Maradona was lighting it up, to be fair.

0:54:39 > 0:54:43I thought he was the best Argentinian player.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45I remember him scoring a great goal.

0:54:45 > 0:54:47I remember the celebration.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52All these little intricate one-twos, Maradona!

0:54:58 > 0:55:02Yeah, it was, I mean, pretty obvious from his celebration

0:55:02 > 0:55:04where he was just like, "Agh, a-a-agh!"

0:55:04 > 0:55:06A-a-a-a-a-ay!

0:55:06 > 0:55:09I don't think he was gurning that much into the camera,

0:55:09 > 0:55:10I didn't think he was...

0:55:10 > 0:55:14He just roared into the camera like, "I'm back, I'm the man!"

0:55:17 > 0:55:19He just went crazy.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Pure passion and, yeah,

0:55:20 > 0:55:24the anger and the passion came out in the celebration to the camera.

0:55:24 > 0:55:27It was a bit like a cartoon and his eyes were bulging,

0:55:27 > 0:55:29his face was puffed out.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32I think at that moment probably everybody was like, "Yay! Ohhh..."

0:55:32 > 0:55:35"Oh, he's happy, he's just having a great time!"

0:55:35 > 0:55:36Then everyone suddenly went,

0:55:36 > 0:55:39"He looks a little bit too happy, really.

0:55:39 > 0:55:42"I mean, he looks like he's..." And people got suspicious.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45If Simon from Accounts in the office did that,

0:55:45 > 0:55:46you'd be like, "He's on drugs."

0:55:46 > 0:55:49He looked like a guy who wanted another fix.

0:55:49 > 0:55:53Ephedrine, as we found out. That's why he was playing so well.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55Tonight, one of the most colourful

0:55:55 > 0:55:58and controversial careers in football could be at an end.

0:55:58 > 0:56:00That's the way to check them for doping

0:56:00 > 0:56:02is, like, what their celebration is.

0:56:02 > 0:56:07If you score and you're like, "Ur-r-rgh!" You're, like, gurning.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09"Maybe we should check this guy out."

0:56:09 > 0:56:12There's lunacy, and then there's lunacy

0:56:12 > 0:56:14on a Maradona scale, isn't there?

0:56:14 > 0:56:15What were you doing?

0:56:20 > 0:56:23There are times in football when you just have to battle.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26In this instance, from the 1962 World Cup in Chile,

0:56:26 > 0:56:31the hosts and Italy obviously took that concept a little too far.

0:56:31 > 0:56:35It's almost worth listening to the commentary of this match without

0:56:35 > 0:56:39watching the match, because David Coleman gets more and more angry.

0:56:39 > 0:56:44Good evening. The game you're about to see is the most stupid...

0:56:45 > 0:56:47..appalling...

0:56:47 > 0:56:48And there we go again.

0:56:48 > 0:56:49..disgusting...

0:56:49 > 0:56:50Ooh!

0:56:50 > 0:56:52..and disgraceful exhibition of football

0:56:52 > 0:56:54possibly in the history of the game.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57It's almost like they've taken his beautiful game

0:56:57 > 0:57:00and ripped it apart for their spectacle.

0:57:00 > 0:57:02Just, just listen to the words he uses

0:57:02 > 0:57:06and just listen to the rising levels of anger and disgust he has.

0:57:06 > 0:57:10Yeah, Battle of Santiago, it was basically what would happen

0:57:10 > 0:57:15if all of the characters on FIFA were Street Fighter characters.

0:57:15 > 0:57:18Oh, we're getting a rugby match and a fight, everything going in there!

0:57:18 > 0:57:23Some Italian journalists were casting doubts on the virtue of

0:57:23 > 0:57:30Chilean women, and so the Italian side became Public Enemy Number One.

0:57:30 > 0:57:34The national motto of Chile reads, "By reason or by force."

0:57:34 > 0:57:37Such an aggressive motto for a country!

0:57:39 > 0:57:42There's trouble already, there's a fight going on in the middle there.

0:57:42 > 0:57:45I mean, we'll reason with you, but if not we're going to

0:57:45 > 0:57:46kick your bloody face in, mate.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48Oh, this looks like turning into a real battle.

0:57:48 > 0:57:51There's two Chileans down on the field.

0:57:51 > 0:57:53What a scene after just five minutes' play!

0:57:53 > 0:57:56You see things in there, you see head-high tackles...

0:57:58 > 0:58:00Ooh, and that was one of the worst...!

0:58:00 > 0:58:02You see wonderful left hooks

0:58:02 > 0:58:04that Henry Cooper would have been proud of!

0:58:04 > 0:58:06You don't see a lot of football.

0:58:06 > 0:58:09No attempt made to play that ball at all.

0:58:10 > 0:58:13Urgh, don't you dare!

0:58:13 > 0:58:17They've got that sort of, like, old-school boxing-ness about them.

0:58:17 > 0:58:19And in fact I think the game is over,

0:58:19 > 0:58:22Ken Aston on his way to the dressing room.

0:58:22 > 0:58:26And the police are being called on, or the army, the police, in fact.

0:58:26 > 0:58:28When you have to get the police and army on the pitch

0:58:28 > 0:58:29you know you are going too far.

0:58:29 > 0:58:31After seeing the film tonight,

0:58:31 > 0:58:34you at home may well think that teams that play in this manner

0:58:34 > 0:58:37ought to be expelled immediately from the competition.

0:58:40 > 0:58:41- JOHN MOTSON'S VOICE:- 'Going down.'

0:58:41 > 0:58:44- So that's it, we've reached - half-time. You know what, Rio?

0:58:44 > 0:58:47We've played well first half, but second we've got to push on.

0:58:47 > 0:58:49- I'm with you.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Orange segment?- No.

0:58:49 > 0:58:52- All right, just for me, then. - 'Doors closing.'

0:58:53 > 0:58:54- Nice.- Mm, lovely.

0:58:59 > 0:59:01Pausing the countdown for just a moment.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04Time for a quick toilet break from 1990.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06I wasn't very well.

0:59:06 > 0:59:09I played the first half, I had stomach cramps,

0:59:09 > 0:59:13I went to the loo and it was... It wasn't pretty at half-time.

0:59:13 > 0:59:17I came out in the second half, the cramps started again,

0:59:17 > 0:59:20I came across and tried to make some sort of tackle

0:59:20 > 0:59:23which is quite unusual for me, to be perfectly honest, erm,

0:59:23 > 0:59:28and as I slid across, I, I relaxed.

0:59:28 > 0:59:29I relaxed too much

0:59:29 > 0:59:31and had an accident.

0:59:31 > 0:59:33It was sort of everywhere, really,

0:59:33 > 0:59:34and the only way I could get rid of it

0:59:34 > 0:59:36was to sort of like slide like a dog.

0:59:36 > 0:59:39The pitch was quite saturated, so at least I could

0:59:39 > 0:59:43clean my hands a little bit as I shovelled it off my shorts.

0:59:43 > 0:59:45But I tell you what, after that I got more space.

0:59:45 > 0:59:47No man-to-man marking then,

0:59:47 > 0:59:50but no-one wanted to swap my shirt and stuff at then end.

0:59:50 > 0:59:52I don't know why.

0:59:52 > 0:59:54TOILET FLUSHES

0:59:58 > 1:00:01Right, so here goes, the Top 20. What have we got first, Rio?

1:00:01 > 1:00:04Well, what do you think most 17-year-old boys are doing?

1:00:04 > 1:00:07Well, if they're like me, clubbing, chatting up girls,

1:00:07 > 1:00:10- playing video games.- OK, what d'you think a 17-year-old Pele was up to?

1:00:10 > 1:00:12Exactly the same.

1:00:12 > 1:00:14Clubbing, chatting up girls, playing video games.

1:00:14 > 1:00:17No, he was announcing himself on the world stage

1:00:17 > 1:00:20by helping Brazil win the 1958 World Cup.

1:00:20 > 1:00:22OK, fair enough, so he'd be playing video games still, right?

1:00:22 > 1:00:26- Olly, it was 1958, mate, what are you talking about?- Oh, yeah.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28No, Commodore 64, that was 19...

1:00:32 > 1:00:35Television was only just creeping into people's homes

1:00:35 > 1:00:39at the time, erm, so to see any footballer

1:00:39 > 1:00:45from a different country was a unique, exotic thing for anybody.

1:00:45 > 1:00:48I remember watching the World Cup that time, yeah.

1:00:48 > 1:00:51You know, suddenly a 17-year-old kid burst on the scene.

1:00:51 > 1:00:53We'd never seen anything like him, just incredible.

1:00:56 > 1:00:57The legend.

1:00:57 > 1:01:02He is absolutely a legend because no matter where you go

1:01:02 > 1:01:08it's probably one name that would be remembered as the greatest,

1:01:08 > 1:01:11Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

1:01:11 > 1:01:13That's the one, that's Pele.

1:01:13 > 1:01:14Pele.

1:01:15 > 1:01:17And number three!

1:01:17 > 1:01:18Pele had a bit of everything.

1:01:18 > 1:01:22Pure Brazilian in terms of his skill and swagger, but he had a,

1:01:22 > 1:01:25if you like, a European strength about him as well.

1:01:25 > 1:01:29He was one of my early heroes with Muhammad Ali, you know,

1:01:29 > 1:01:32you just, as a kid growing up, everybody knew Pele.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34A young 17-year-old superstar

1:01:34 > 1:01:37with the whole world and the future glittering ahead of him.

1:01:37 > 1:01:39COMMENTATOR: Into Pele...

1:01:40 > 1:01:41And he scores!

1:01:41 > 1:01:45The reason he's the greatest for me is what he's done at World Cups.

1:01:45 > 1:01:48You've got to lift the World Cup with your country

1:01:48 > 1:01:50to be the greatest.

1:01:50 > 1:01:53Pele, beginning a career that has made him the greatest

1:01:53 > 1:01:56footballer of all time in one of the greatest teams of all time.

1:01:56 > 1:02:01Nobody will have that sort of impact again on the world stage so young.

1:02:01 > 1:02:04To take a tournament like that by storm was incredible.

1:02:07 > 1:02:09At 19, the march of Ally's Army

1:02:09 > 1:02:12ground to a halt in Argentina in 1978.

1:02:12 > 1:02:15Only a victory by three clear goals against Holland would take

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Scotland through to the next phase.

1:02:17 > 1:02:20However, the Scots were about to give themselves

1:02:20 > 1:02:23a glimmer of hope as an unlikely source began a run.

1:02:23 > 1:02:25Scotland needed to score another couple

1:02:25 > 1:02:28and when Archie scores the goal, not only are you thinking,

1:02:28 > 1:02:30"What a goal that is,"

1:02:30 > 1:02:32but Scotland are actually going to do it and qualify.

1:02:32 > 1:02:34He beats about 15 men. It is sensational.

1:02:34 > 1:02:35- DAVID COLEMAN:- Gemmill.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38Good play by Gemmill. And again.

1:02:39 > 1:02:403-1!

1:02:41 > 1:02:46A brilliant individual goal by this hard little professional

1:02:46 > 1:02:49has put Scotland in dreamland.

1:02:49 > 1:02:53We were for a bit, because not only was it a great, great goal

1:02:53 > 1:02:55but it gave us so much hope and optimism.

1:02:55 > 1:02:57The most remarkable thing about Archie Gemmill's goal

1:02:57 > 1:03:02isn't the beauty of it, isn't the sheer audacity of it,

1:03:02 > 1:03:03it's that he managed to do it

1:03:03 > 1:03:07while looking like a 54-year-old bloke who is playing snooker.

1:03:07 > 1:03:10- COLEMAN:- Gemmill. First one. Then two.

1:03:10 > 1:03:13Then he faced his own player and another defender.

1:03:13 > 1:03:16He was clear, and finishing like this is lethal.

1:03:19 > 1:03:22I was only two at the time and my only real memory of the goal

1:03:22 > 1:03:26is the scene in Trainspotting, when he pops the video on

1:03:26 > 1:03:28and he's expecting a different video

1:03:28 > 1:03:30and it's actually Archie Gemmill's famous goal.

1:03:30 > 1:03:33"What a penetrating goal that was."

1:03:33 > 1:03:37I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978.

1:03:37 > 1:03:38I always look at that and I think,

1:03:38 > 1:03:41"I wish any of my sex life had been like that."

1:03:41 > 1:03:44My sex life is more like Frank Lampard. "Is it in?"

1:03:44 > 1:03:48It's possibly Scotland's greatest ever goal in a World Cup

1:03:48 > 1:03:51and it nearly got us through to the next round, but it wasn't to be.

1:03:51 > 1:03:53England versus Brazil, 1970.

1:03:53 > 1:03:56Standout moments include Bobby Moore's tackling

1:03:56 > 1:03:58and the winning goal by Jairzinho.

1:03:58 > 1:04:00However, it is for another incident

1:04:00 > 1:04:02that the game will perhaps be best remembered.

1:04:02 > 1:04:04Here's number 18.

1:04:04 > 1:04:07MUSIC: "Back Home" by the 1970 England World Cup squad

1:04:07 > 1:04:09- HARRY REDKNAPP:- That was the best World Cup I've ever seen, '70.

1:04:09 > 1:04:11The save Banksy made from Pele was incredible.

1:04:11 > 1:04:13Yeah, such a beautiful moment.

1:04:13 > 1:04:16The best outfield player in the world

1:04:16 > 1:04:18against probably the best keeper in the world,

1:04:18 > 1:04:22producing just a moment of brilliance.

1:04:22 > 1:04:24- DAVID COLEMAN:- Oh, and he's left Cooper standing.

1:04:24 > 1:04:26Pele!

1:04:27 > 1:04:28What a save!

1:04:28 > 1:04:29Gordon Banks...

1:04:29 > 1:04:32It was a bit special because he was a great, great player

1:04:32 > 1:04:34and they were a great side.

1:04:34 > 1:04:37If you're taught to head a ball, you're taught to head it down

1:04:37 > 1:04:39into the corner with power.

1:04:39 > 1:04:41And I think Pele got all those three things right.

1:04:41 > 1:04:44He just hung, got so high, bang,

1:04:44 > 1:04:47headed it down and I'm not sure where Gordon Banks came from.

1:04:47 > 1:04:50He just somehow reaches it.

1:04:50 > 1:04:52And flicks it over the bar.

1:04:52 > 1:04:55It sort of... It, like, defies physics.

1:04:55 > 1:04:57No-one could believe it and to this day,

1:04:57 > 1:05:00I do not think Pele can believe he didn't get it in.

1:05:02 > 1:05:04I met him a couple of times and he says,

1:05:04 > 1:05:07"I scored over 1,000 goals in my career.

1:05:07 > 1:05:10"Wherever I go in the world, people talk about those goals,

1:05:10 > 1:05:12"but when I come to England,

1:05:12 > 1:05:15"all they talk about is that save you made from my header!"

1:05:16 > 1:05:18Sometimes when you see something in sport that's live

1:05:18 > 1:05:19and you kind of go...

1:05:19 > 1:05:22"Whoa, did that really happen?"

1:05:22 > 1:05:23And it did.

1:05:23 > 1:05:25Probably the best save I have ever seen.

1:05:25 > 1:05:29Banks, Moore... They're like the days of Camelot, ain't they?

1:05:29 > 1:05:32France versus West Germany, 1982.

1:05:32 > 1:05:35The World Cup semifinal, what a game that was, Rio.

1:05:35 > 1:05:36Yep, six goals, extra time

1:05:36 > 1:05:39and the World Cup's first ever penalty shoot out.

1:05:39 > 1:05:42Mm, yeah, but France's Patrick Battiston

1:05:42 > 1:05:45will probably remember it for different reasons.

1:05:45 > 1:05:47Well, I'm not sure he'll remember it at all.

1:05:47 > 1:05:49Well, yeah. It's true what they say -

1:05:49 > 1:05:51it's worse to get knocked out in the semis.

1:05:55 > 1:05:59Every time I see the semifinal on TV,

1:05:59 > 1:06:04I always still kind of think that we're going to win.

1:06:04 > 1:06:05It is kind of weird.

1:06:05 > 1:06:08I mean, the rest is history, right?

1:06:08 > 1:06:11We watch football now and it's sanitised and it's clean.

1:06:11 > 1:06:15A bad challenge goes in and everyone goes, "That's a bit nasty,"

1:06:15 > 1:06:20but, 1982, Schumacher, this is... He almost...

1:06:20 > 1:06:23This isn't just like going over the top.

1:06:23 > 1:06:25This is almost like taking Battiston's head off.

1:06:25 > 1:06:28- COMMENTATOR:- Platini. That's a great ball.

1:06:28 > 1:06:29This is Battiston!

1:06:29 > 1:06:31And it's wide!

1:06:32 > 1:06:34What a marvellous pass by Platini.

1:06:36 > 1:06:40And Battiston just couldn't provide the finish.

1:06:40 > 1:06:42And Schumacher came out

1:06:42 > 1:06:45and thumped him pretty hard too, I must say.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48It will be interesting to know whether the referee thought

1:06:48 > 1:06:51that was a genuine attempt by the goalkeeper to play the ball.

1:06:51 > 1:06:54Schumacher touched Patrick Battiston

1:06:54 > 1:06:58and I think he broke three, I think, three fingers.

1:06:58 > 1:07:01He wasn't particularly sympathetic towards him.

1:07:01 > 1:07:03He looked arrogantly at him and walked off.

1:07:03 > 1:07:07That really was symptomatic of those two teams at that particular time.

1:07:07 > 1:07:11- CO-COMMENTATOR:- The goalkeeper comes in and then, bang, just whacks him.

1:07:11 > 1:07:13That, in my book, would certainly be a penalty kick.

1:07:13 > 1:07:15The referee is calling for a stretcher.

1:07:15 > 1:07:18One or two of the French players seemingly calling for the penalty.

1:07:18 > 1:07:21How high can you be?

1:07:21 > 1:07:24It was perhaps the most outrageous foul

1:07:24 > 1:07:27and it marred a beautiful game, as well, didn't it?

1:07:27 > 1:07:29- COMMENTATOR:- What was Schumacher going for?

1:07:29 > 1:07:30The ball or the player?

1:07:30 > 1:07:33He certainly got the player long after the ball had been played.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36No foul, no card and then Germany went on to win!

1:07:36 > 1:07:40And Battiston retires on a stretcher.

1:07:40 > 1:07:42Don't try this at home,

1:07:42 > 1:07:45but I remember a lot of us trying to recreate that moment

1:07:45 > 1:07:47and do a Schumacher foul on our friends.

1:07:47 > 1:07:49Not advised.

1:07:49 > 1:07:54From this moment, we lost the plot. Completely.

1:07:54 > 1:07:58And Germany came right back in the game.

1:07:58 > 1:08:03If that happened in our time, Schumacher would be sent off

1:08:03 > 1:08:05and we would have won that semifinal.

1:08:05 > 1:08:07I don't know if we would have won the final,

1:08:07 > 1:08:09but we'd have got to the final.

1:08:09 > 1:08:13Different time, different rules, different referees.

1:08:13 > 1:08:17The year, 1950. The place, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

1:08:17 > 1:08:21The match, world football superpower England against minnows the USA.

1:08:21 > 1:08:26The outcome - arguably the greatest World Cup shock of all time.

1:08:26 > 1:08:27Ah, England.

1:08:27 > 1:08:30This was one of those games that you grew up reading about.

1:08:30 > 1:08:32The United States were no great shakes.

1:08:32 > 1:08:35They were a cosmopolitan team, thrown together.

1:08:35 > 1:08:38One or two former English and Scottish club players.

1:08:38 > 1:08:41It was a big shock, because America didn't really play football,

1:08:41 > 1:08:45so the American team actually were just all amateurs.

1:08:45 > 1:08:49They were all just, like, plumbers and stuff.

1:08:49 > 1:08:52Then the English team were like,

1:08:52 > 1:08:54"We're going to win this. We're going to win this."

1:08:54 > 1:08:57Because we are the side... We get paid to do this.

1:08:57 > 1:09:00This was an England team that was quite strongly fancied.

1:09:00 > 1:09:03Had some really truly great players in it.

1:09:03 > 1:09:04For some reason that day,

1:09:04 > 1:09:08even with the likes of Tom Finney and Stan Mortensen,

1:09:08 > 1:09:11England just couldn't get the ball in the net.

1:09:13 > 1:09:16A fellow called Gaetjens, who was a Haitian,

1:09:16 > 1:09:19deflected a long shot with his head past Bert Williams

1:09:19 > 1:09:22and, amazingly, the United States were in front

1:09:22 > 1:09:24and England never got the goal back.

1:09:24 > 1:09:27I don't really know why this was so much of a surprise.

1:09:27 > 1:09:30I've seen a lot of the Americans play football, you know,

1:09:30 > 1:09:33and they pick it up and have helmets on and everything.

1:09:33 > 1:09:37That's going to be quite strange to our plucky boys out there.

1:09:37 > 1:09:39Alf Ramsey played right back, I remember,

1:09:39 > 1:09:41and many, many years later, somebody said,

1:09:41 > 1:09:43"Did you play in Belo Horizonte, Alf?"

1:09:43 > 1:09:45And he said, "I was the only one who did!"

1:09:45 > 1:09:48English newspapers, when they saw the result was 1-0,

1:09:48 > 1:09:50they didn't believe it.

1:09:50 > 1:09:53They thought someone had missed the "1" off England's score.

1:09:53 > 1:09:54"Must be 10-1 to England, surely?"

1:09:54 > 1:09:58Really, at the time, it wasn't reported quite as heavily,

1:09:58 > 1:10:02or anywhere near as heavily, as such a humiliation would be now.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05They were humbled by the American amateurs.

1:10:05 > 1:10:10And I'm sure the Americans will continue to go on about it for ever.

1:10:10 > 1:10:11Belo Horizonte.

1:10:11 > 1:10:16England play Costa Rica there in their final group game this time.

1:10:16 > 1:10:18Hope it doesn't happen again.

1:10:18 > 1:10:20RIO: They say if you're good enough, you're old enough,

1:10:20 > 1:10:24and at France '98, a teenager from Chester proved himself just that

1:10:24 > 1:10:27in the last-16 match against Argentina.

1:10:27 > 1:10:29That teenager was my old mate Michael Owen,

1:10:29 > 1:10:31and he's at 15.

1:10:33 > 1:10:36Your head conjures up that picture of him in 1998,

1:10:36 > 1:10:39the sort of baby face and gelled, spiky hair,

1:10:39 > 1:10:43because that was really when he arrived on the world stage.

1:10:44 > 1:10:47St Etienne? Oh.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49The ball, I forget which England player passed it through.

1:10:49 > 1:10:52Beckham passed him the ball, takes it with the outside of his foot.

1:10:52 > 1:10:55He looked like he was going to make something happen.

1:10:55 > 1:10:57It was like a FIFA goal. He went left, right, left, right...

1:10:57 > 1:10:59He just kept going, kept going, kept going.

1:10:59 > 1:11:02The agility to drop your shoulder.

1:11:02 > 1:11:04Wrong-foots the defender, goes past him.

1:11:04 > 1:11:07I thought he should have passed it to me, to be quite honest.

1:11:07 > 1:11:09And then the finish was just quality.

1:11:09 > 1:11:11Ah... Ah... Yeah!

1:11:11 > 1:11:12Slotted it in.

1:11:12 > 1:11:14Bang, top corner.

1:11:14 > 1:11:16Fires the ball into the back of the net.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18Good night.

1:11:20 > 1:11:22COMMENTATOR: Can Beckham set England moving?

1:11:22 > 1:11:24This is Owen. Taken in his stride.

1:11:24 > 1:11:28Chamot trying not to bring him down. It's still Michael Owen!

1:11:28 > 1:11:30He's scored a wonderful goal!

1:11:30 > 1:11:34Is there nothing beyond this 18-year-old?

1:11:34 > 1:11:37Oh, my God, Michael Owen! He's scored!

1:11:37 > 1:11:39It was almost like a dream. It was like, "Really?"

1:11:39 > 1:11:42"Was that Michael Owen did that? England?"

1:11:42 > 1:11:46To run half the pitch and score was absolutely incredible.

1:11:46 > 1:11:49I remember, it absolutely went crazy in my house.

1:11:49 > 1:11:53The way he was weaving and going in and out of players

1:11:53 > 1:11:54and to put it in the top corner...

1:11:54 > 1:11:56I will never forget that goal.

1:11:56 > 1:11:59It was a great way to say, "Hi, I'm Michael Owen. Welcome."

1:11:59 > 1:12:00A star has been born.

1:12:00 > 1:12:03I scored the goal, I ran over to the sidelines.

1:12:03 > 1:12:05I didn't have a clue where my family were,

1:12:05 > 1:12:07but as soon as I lifted my head up to punch the air

1:12:07 > 1:12:11after everyone had got off me, in terms of the celebrating,

1:12:11 > 1:12:13the first people I saw was my family.

1:12:13 > 1:12:14I just looked at it open-mouthed

1:12:14 > 1:12:18because that was a goal of the season, world-class player,

1:12:18 > 1:12:20not a young man making his way in the game.

1:12:20 > 1:12:23It was one of these, "Ah, he's going to be the best player in the world."

1:12:23 > 1:12:2918 years old and do it like that. A phenomenal consciousness spike.

1:12:29 > 1:12:31- COMMENTATOR:- Chamot trying not to bring him down.

1:12:31 > 1:12:34It's still Michael Owen. He's scored a wonderful goal.

1:12:34 > 1:12:38And what a moment for the teenager and for England.

1:12:38 > 1:12:42He made the finish look really easy, but it clearly wasn't.

1:12:42 > 1:12:44You know, that's the ability he had.

1:12:44 > 1:12:47That moment for that guy, that made him. Michael Owen, what a hero.

1:12:47 > 1:12:49What a scamp.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51To coin that old cliche, boys wanted to be him,

1:12:51 > 1:12:53girls wanted to be with him.

1:12:53 > 1:12:57I think he's never lost that baby-faced image, even if

1:12:57 > 1:12:59he's lost a little bit of his speed.

1:12:59 > 1:13:01Thought it was the norm, really.

1:13:01 > 1:13:05When I look back now, I think, "Yeah, it was a great moment in my life."

1:13:08 > 1:13:12England, 1966, was Portugal's first World Cup finals

1:13:12 > 1:13:14and he was their star.

1:13:14 > 1:13:18He left an indelible mark on the tournament as top scorer with

1:13:18 > 1:13:24nine goals. He was known as the Black Panther. He was Eusebio.

1:13:24 > 1:13:26If you ask most Englishmen who was the top scorer at the 1966

1:13:26 > 1:13:30World Cup, I'd bet the majority would say Sir Geoff Hurst.

1:13:31 > 1:13:33But, no, Eusebio got more goals than him.

1:13:33 > 1:13:35- COMMENTATOR:- Eusebio and it's a second one!

1:13:35 > 1:13:39A very, very fine goal by Eusebio.

1:13:39 > 1:13:42I think as time has gone on, being the top goal-scorer,

1:13:42 > 1:13:45the Golden Boot winner in the World Cup,

1:13:45 > 1:13:46has taken on more meaning.

1:13:46 > 1:13:50It's more of a special thing now than it possibly was then, but

1:13:50 > 1:13:51I'm sure for use Eusebio in '66,

1:13:51 > 1:13:54there would have been a special honour.

1:13:54 > 1:13:56He had a massive build.

1:13:56 > 1:13:59He was a tank and when he got through on goal,

1:13:59 > 1:14:02you knew he was going to score.

1:14:02 > 1:14:06- COMMENTATOR:- And another one. Eusebio.

1:14:06 > 1:14:11Eusebio, prolific goal-scorer and across the road at Goodison.

1:14:11 > 1:14:14Eusebio just took over the whole occasion.

1:14:14 > 1:14:16I mean, one man beat the Koreans.

1:14:16 > 1:14:20- COMMENTATOR:- Eusebio. Number three.

1:14:20 > 1:14:22Imagine being Eusebio.

1:14:22 > 1:14:26Imagine being the player of the tournament, imagine scoring

1:14:26 > 1:14:30nine goals, imagine scoring four goals in one game.

1:14:30 > 1:14:34Imagine, whenever people talk about 1966, they never talk about him.

1:14:36 > 1:14:38- COMMENTATOR:- Four goals to three. All four to Eusebio.

1:14:38 > 1:14:43Eusebio almost said, "These little fellas are very good,

1:14:43 > 1:14:45"but what are we doing losing 3-0 to them?"

1:14:45 > 1:14:47He put that right. One man.

1:14:47 > 1:14:50- COMMENTATOR:- Eusebio. Oh, my word!

1:14:50 > 1:14:54Have you ever seen anything like that?

1:14:54 > 1:14:57True superstar. Incredible player. The European Pele.

1:15:05 > 1:15:07It took Ireland 60 years to get to the World Cup finals

1:15:07 > 1:15:12but when they finally did, in Italia '90, they certainly made their mark.

1:15:12 > 1:15:15- Do you know, Rio, I could've played for Ireland.- Really?- Yeah, yeah.

1:15:15 > 1:15:18I've got this cousin who's my eighth cousin, called Gary

1:15:18 > 1:15:21and his grandmother is Irish, so, technically, kind of makes me Irish.

1:15:21 > 1:15:23I could have played for Ireland.

1:15:23 > 1:15:25OK, yeah.

1:15:29 > 1:15:32Nobody knew how to behave because we'd never qualified for a World Cup

1:15:32 > 1:15:34before and there was a song at the time called

1:15:34 > 1:15:37Give It A Lash, Jack. We might as well go there and give it a go.

1:15:37 > 1:15:38Everyone went on the lash.

1:15:38 > 1:15:43Literally, everybody in Ireland that day was either in

1:15:43 > 1:15:45one another's front room or in the pub.

1:15:45 > 1:15:47It was the first time in the history of Ireland that

1:15:47 > 1:15:50everybody in Ireland was drunk at the same time. I was legless.

1:15:50 > 1:15:53I was only eight at the time, but I was still legless.

1:15:53 > 1:15:56We got through to the second round as well against Romania.

1:15:56 > 1:15:58It comes to a shoot-out against Romania.

1:15:58 > 1:16:00My dad had taken me back from the dentist

1:16:00 > 1:16:02and I had to get a tooth taken out.

1:16:04 > 1:16:05- COMMENTATOR:- Barely a run up.

1:16:05 > 1:16:07It's been saved!

1:16:10 > 1:16:13Timofte has seen his penalty saved by Pat Bonner.

1:16:13 > 1:16:17Jack Charlton doesn't know whether to smile or not.

1:16:17 > 1:16:19As Packie Bonner saved that penalty, my dad jumped up

1:16:19 > 1:16:22and as he jumped up, he elbowed me into the cheek

1:16:22 > 1:16:25and as the house was screaming, I was sitting there, pouring blood

1:16:25 > 1:16:29coming down, thinking, this is turning into the worst

1:16:29 > 1:16:30and best days of my entire life.

1:16:30 > 1:16:34- COMMENTATOR:- Oh, yeah, I wouldn't like to be in David O'Leary's shoes.

1:16:34 > 1:16:37Not really a penalty taker. Come on, David, just knock it in.

1:16:37 > 1:16:41The Romanian keeper has the biggest moustache I have ever seen.

1:16:42 > 1:16:43It's too heavy for the keeper.

1:16:43 > 1:16:46I think if you notice, he just keeps nodding his head.

1:16:46 > 1:16:48He can't hold up the moustache.

1:16:50 > 1:16:56- COMMENTATOR:- Ireland and the party can begin.

1:16:57 > 1:17:00That literally did stop the country on that particular day.

1:17:00 > 1:17:03Doesn't take a lot in Ireland, mind, but it did stop the country.

1:17:03 > 1:17:09Sheedy, Houghton, Townsend, Cascarino and O'Leary

1:17:09 > 1:17:13take Ireland into the last eight of the World Cup.

1:17:13 > 1:17:16Of course, there was this talk that somehow the Pope was involved in

1:17:16 > 1:17:18that penalty shoot out because Ireland,

1:17:18 > 1:17:20being this dominantly Catholic team.

1:17:20 > 1:17:24- COMMENTATOR:- Genoa has become Dublin in North Italy.

1:17:24 > 1:17:28It was just wonderful, only the way the Irish can involve God

1:17:28 > 1:17:29in the whole process.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32I think Irish mothers were more happy with the fact that they

1:17:32 > 1:17:35met the Pope than anything else that they've achieved.

1:17:37 > 1:17:41Perfect execution under extreme pressure is a rare thing.

1:17:41 > 1:17:43And when it happens, it's memorable.

1:17:43 > 1:17:45There may be no better example of this than in

1:17:45 > 1:17:50the dying moments of a quarterfinal at France 1998.

1:17:50 > 1:17:53Enter the Iceman. Enter Dennis Bergkamp.

1:17:53 > 1:17:55I went out there to watch England,

1:17:55 > 1:17:57but, actually, the most memorable moment for me

1:17:57 > 1:18:02was Argentina versus Holland and Dennis Bergkamp's wonder strike.

1:18:02 > 1:18:04I remember it was in Marseille.

1:18:04 > 1:18:07Everyone was saying, whose is the best goal of the tournament

1:18:07 > 1:18:09between mine and his? It was a fantastic goal.

1:18:12 > 1:18:16- COMMENTATOR:- Beautifully pulled down by Bergkamp. Oh, what a goal!

1:18:16 > 1:18:20Dennis Bergkamp has won it for Holland.

1:18:20 > 1:18:23That was absolutely brilliant.

1:18:27 > 1:18:33With the long ball, the control, take the time, relax, no pressure

1:18:33 > 1:18:37and the finish is perfect.

1:18:37 > 1:18:41Just three perfect touches making the perfect goal.

1:18:41 > 1:18:45- COMMENTATOR:- The real Dennis Bergkamp emerges

1:18:45 > 1:18:47when he's needed most.

1:18:47 > 1:18:50He'd been quiet all game and just turned it on its head.

1:18:50 > 1:18:54I'm not a Holland fan, but even I was like, "You are the man."

1:18:54 > 1:18:57It was right up there in his top ten and there will be some

1:18:57 > 1:19:01special goals in his top ten, because he was a great player.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04I remember, I said, "Wow. He's a very good player, Bergkamp."

1:19:04 > 1:19:06HE LAUGHS

1:19:06 > 1:19:08CHEERING

1:19:08 > 1:19:11There has been much debate down the years about who are the best

1:19:11 > 1:19:13team never to win the World Cup.

1:19:13 > 1:19:16Some say the Dutch side of '74.

1:19:16 > 1:19:18Others say the French of '86.

1:19:18 > 1:19:22But perhaps the one that is most talked about is the great

1:19:22 > 1:19:25Brazilian team of 1982.

1:19:25 > 1:19:29It was an imaginative team. It was exciting, full of entertainment.

1:19:29 > 1:19:32It was a team that epitomised everything that was

1:19:32 > 1:19:33good about football.

1:19:33 > 1:19:35The telly looked so much more exotic then.

1:19:35 > 1:19:38The picture was so grainy, the sound was so distorted,

1:19:38 > 1:19:40and so it just felt like they were from another planet.

1:19:40 > 1:19:43Yeah, definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

1:19:43 > 1:19:46The Brazilians in 1970 were the only side that could play with

1:19:46 > 1:19:50an attitude - it doesn't matter if you get six, we'll get seven -

1:19:50 > 1:19:52and the '82 team tried to have the same attitude.

1:19:52 > 1:19:56Big idol, and perhaps the idol of my generation, was Zico.

1:19:56 > 1:19:58Zico was the man.

1:19:58 > 1:20:01Gentleman, talent, class and a scorer.

1:20:01 > 1:20:03COMMENTATOR: And that was Zico.

1:20:03 > 1:20:06Oh! Right in the top corner.

1:20:07 > 1:20:09The one that stands out for me was Eder...

1:20:09 > 1:20:11partly because of his name, I think.

1:20:11 > 1:20:13He was just as talented as Zico to me.

1:20:14 > 1:20:16COMMENTATOR: Little chip.

1:20:16 > 1:20:19Oh, I say. What a brilliant goal.

1:20:19 > 1:20:20Eder the scorer.

1:20:20 > 1:20:24Socrates, the chain-smoking doctor.

1:20:24 > 1:20:25COMMENTATOR: Socrates...

1:20:25 > 1:20:27found the angle. Found a beauty!

1:20:29 > 1:20:30Magnificent goal.

1:20:30 > 1:20:33Falcao, with the receding perm.

1:20:33 > 1:20:37COMMENTATOR: Here's Falcao with the shot.

1:20:37 > 1:20:39Falcao the scorer to make it four.

1:20:39 > 1:20:42For actual touch technique and quality,

1:20:42 > 1:20:45it was like playing against superhumans.

1:20:45 > 1:20:48They seemed to fly in from every angle.

1:20:48 > 1:20:51COMMENTATOR: Oscar! That's a goal.

1:20:51 > 1:20:57Falcao. Lets it go. Eder. Oh! Goalkeeper never saw it.

1:20:57 > 1:21:00The joy in the celebration, not just in the players,

1:21:00 > 1:21:01but from the fans in the stands as well.

1:21:01 > 1:21:04It was like watching football from another world.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06We'd never seen anything like that aged ten.

1:21:06 > 1:21:09COMMENTATOR: Socrates pushing the ball forward to Zico. What a turn.

1:21:09 > 1:21:11Socrates is in here.

1:21:12 > 1:21:14Oh, it's there!

1:21:14 > 1:21:17Socrates...

1:21:17 > 1:21:21scores the goal that sums up the philosophy of Brazilian football.

1:21:21 > 1:21:26If we draw against Italy, Brazil continue in the competition.

1:21:26 > 1:21:30They came unstuck. They came up against a good Italian side and...

1:21:30 > 1:21:35committed defensive suicide and lost three goals...and went out.

1:21:35 > 1:21:38COMMENTATOR: Shot by Tardelli - and it's been turned in.

1:21:38 > 1:21:40Paolo Rossi was there again!

1:21:40 > 1:21:43It's 3-2 to Italy. WHISTLE BLOWS

1:21:44 > 1:21:47We have a short musical interlude now,

1:21:47 > 1:21:51and perhaps the best World Cup song in the world ever.

1:21:51 > 1:21:53Get ready. Here's John Barnes.

1:21:53 > 1:21:54I don't see that as a football song.

1:21:54 > 1:21:57It was a proper song by a great group, New Order,

1:21:57 > 1:21:58that went to number one.

1:21:59 > 1:22:02# It's one on one

1:22:02 > 1:22:03# Express yourself

1:22:03 > 1:22:05# It's one on one

1:22:05 > 1:22:07# Express yourself... #

1:22:07 > 1:22:10After a few glasses of wine, they wrote a rap,

1:22:10 > 1:22:13so the rap-off was done between myself, Gazza, Peter Beardsley,

1:22:13 > 1:22:15Steve McManaman.

1:22:15 > 1:22:17I won the rap-off, so I did the rap.

1:22:17 > 1:22:19# You've got to hold and give

1:22:19 > 1:22:21# But do it at the right time

1:22:21 > 1:22:23# You can be slow or fast

1:22:23 > 1:22:25# But you must get to the line

1:22:25 > 1:22:26# They'll always hit you and hurt you

1:22:26 > 1:22:27# Defend and attack

1:22:27 > 1:22:29# There's only one way to beat them

1:22:29 > 1:22:30# Get round the back

1:22:30 > 1:22:31# Catch me if you can

1:22:31 > 1:22:33# Cos' I'm the England man... #

1:22:33 > 1:22:35There you go. Short version.

1:22:38 > 1:22:41- So we've made it to the top ten. - I know.

1:22:41 > 1:22:44It's a bit overwhelming to say goodbye to the other 40 moments.

1:22:44 > 1:22:47Right. Anyway, it's Italia '90, the semifinal,

1:22:47 > 1:22:49England versus West Germany.

1:22:49 > 1:22:52- SOBBING:- I'm really gonna miss those other 40.

1:22:52 > 1:22:531-1 after normal time.

1:22:53 > 1:22:55Then, in extra time...

1:22:55 > 1:22:58Oh, why do we have to say goodbye to the other 40 moments? Why?

1:22:58 > 1:23:00HE EXHALES DEEPLY

1:23:00 > 1:23:03..Gazza, a yellow card away from suspension that could see him

1:23:03 > 1:23:05miss the final if England got there.

1:23:05 > 1:23:07Of course, the inevitable happens

1:23:07 > 1:23:10and it's all too much for the young Geordie lad.

1:23:10 > 1:23:14His emotions get the better of him...and he starts crying.

1:23:14 > 1:23:19- SOBBING:- I mean, why? The big softy. Why do some people cry?

1:23:19 > 1:23:21HE LAUGHS

1:23:24 > 1:23:27WHISTLE BLOWS

1:23:27 > 1:23:30'90, that messed me up.

1:23:30 > 1:23:32I don't think people understood what had happened.

1:23:32 > 1:23:37Paul Gascoigne quickly developed into my favourite player at the time.

1:23:37 > 1:23:39Him and Gary Lineker were idols of mine.

1:23:42 > 1:23:45COMMENTATOR: Lineker's touch back to Beardsley.

1:23:45 > 1:23:46Gascoigne again.

1:23:48 > 1:23:49He won't be shaken off.

1:23:52 > 1:23:54Gascoigne knew, if he got booked, he would miss the final,

1:23:54 > 1:23:58should England get through...and he did get booked.

1:23:58 > 1:24:00It was just his tournament. He was playing so well.

1:24:00 > 1:24:03And to be so young and to have that thrown at you to

1:24:03 > 1:24:06get your yellow card that meant that you we're going to miss the...

1:24:06 > 1:24:09potentially the biggest game of your life, or it would have been.

1:24:09 > 1:24:11It was just heartbreaking.

1:24:11 > 1:24:14COMMENTATOR: Oh, dear me.

1:24:14 > 1:24:18He's going to be out of the final if England get there...

1:24:18 > 1:24:20for the tackle on number 14 Berthold,

1:24:20 > 1:24:23Gascoigne has had his second yellow card of the competition.

1:24:23 > 1:24:27I remember Gary looking over to the bench to say to

1:24:27 > 1:24:31Sir Bobby Robson that...maybe it's time to get him off.

1:24:31 > 1:24:34It's become sort of an iconic moment...

1:24:34 > 1:24:38a moment that I had no idea at the time was even captured.

1:24:38 > 1:24:39- COMMENTATOR:- And here is a moment

1:24:39 > 1:24:41that almost brings tears to his eyes.

1:24:41 > 1:24:44He knew what it meant straightaway, and we all knew what it meant.

1:24:44 > 1:24:50And as he stood up and got up, the whole thing had sort of...

1:24:50 > 1:24:51He'd understood what had happened.

1:24:51 > 1:24:54His bottom lip started to blubber a little bit

1:24:54 > 1:24:56and there was a bit of moisture in the eyes,

1:24:56 > 1:24:58and I just thought, "Oh. Sub."

1:24:58 > 1:25:01Just looked at Bobby Robson.

1:25:01 > 1:25:02Yeah.

1:25:02 > 1:25:04Keep an eye on him. Keep an eye on him.

1:25:04 > 1:25:05His head's gone.

1:25:05 > 1:25:09The famous, "Look at Gazza. Keep an eye on him. He's a bit fragile."

1:25:09 > 1:25:11Every time I see to Gary Lineker, I want to go to him,

1:25:11 > 1:25:12"Do that thing, Gary."

1:25:12 > 1:25:15I've took a photo of him doing it now so I can't keep asking him.

1:25:15 > 1:25:17I should just look at the photo.

1:25:17 > 1:25:19Yeah, have a word with him.

1:25:19 > 1:25:21So...just keep an eye on him, really.

1:25:21 > 1:25:23You know, he's a player that lived on his emotions.

1:25:23 > 1:25:25He's a player that needs nurturing.

1:25:25 > 1:25:28He needs to be told how important he was, so Bobby stood up.

1:25:28 > 1:25:30"Come on, Gazza, we need you. We need you".

1:25:30 > 1:25:32I think everyone at home wanted to give him a big hug,

1:25:32 > 1:25:34but it did show how much it meant to them

1:25:34 > 1:25:36and I think that's such a good thing.

1:25:36 > 1:25:38And...you really felt for him.

1:25:38 > 1:25:40You know, he was a proper...

1:25:40 > 1:25:43"I'm a Geordie. I don't care. I just play football."

1:25:43 > 1:25:47And then suddenly he's crying. You're like, "Geordies can feel." You know?

1:25:47 > 1:25:50CO-COMMENTATOR: You're quite right. He is nearly in tears. Look at him.

1:25:50 > 1:25:53He's shattered because, really, there was no need to book at that stage.

1:25:53 > 1:25:56In a way that epitomises the tragedy of Paul Gascoigne,

1:25:56 > 1:25:58someone who could have done so much more,

1:25:58 > 1:26:03who had it all, and then due to poor decision making...

1:26:03 > 1:26:05You know, and misfortune.

1:26:05 > 1:26:07Yeah. I mean, we all loved Gazza.

1:26:07 > 1:26:10We all knew what he could do.

1:26:10 > 1:26:12And if we were to get to the final,

1:26:12 > 1:26:15it would have been devastating for him.

1:26:15 > 1:26:17And he was great in the last half an hour,

1:26:17 > 1:26:18as he was great in the whole tournament.

1:26:18 > 1:26:21But alas, none of us played in the final anyway.

1:26:23 > 1:26:25COMMENTATOR: And England are out of the World Cup.

1:26:25 > 1:26:28It's quite weird, but I remember feeling almost

1:26:28 > 1:26:32relieved that we didn't go through to the final,

1:26:32 > 1:26:35so that he was spared having to watch from the bench.

1:26:35 > 1:26:39Would he want England to make the final and miss it?

1:26:39 > 1:26:42Or would he have rather England not make the final, so he didn't

1:26:42 > 1:26:45have to go through the pain of sitting on the bench for the final?

1:26:45 > 1:26:47I'd love to know what his psychology was.

1:26:47 > 1:26:50As much as I'm sure he would have wanted England to have gone on

1:26:50 > 1:26:51and get to the final and win the World Cup,

1:26:51 > 1:26:54part of him would have just died inside

1:26:54 > 1:26:56if he hadn't have been able to play in that game.

1:26:56 > 1:26:59So...yeah, I think the whole nation felt for him at that point.

1:27:02 > 1:27:08Spain versus Holland in South Africa 2010 should have been an epic final.

1:27:08 > 1:27:12You know football's changed by 2010

1:27:12 > 1:27:15when the Dutch are kicking lumps out of people.

1:27:15 > 1:27:18I still maintain they would have given them a good game just

1:27:18 > 1:27:22playing football because they were an incredibly talented team themselves.

1:27:22 > 1:27:26But they kind of ruined the game as a spectacle. It was bitty.

1:27:26 > 1:27:27The fouling that went on...

1:27:27 > 1:27:30There were people going down right, left and centre.

1:27:30 > 1:27:32Nigel de Jong should have been sent off.

1:27:32 > 1:27:34I mean, his foot was so high up.

1:27:38 > 1:27:41It was Bommell finally got a yellow card.

1:27:41 > 1:27:44I don't know what their game plan was, other than to hack them,

1:27:44 > 1:27:48but they certainly achieved that. It was just a weird kind of final.

1:27:49 > 1:27:53- COMMENTATOR:- Now Jesus Navas trying to get into full flight.

1:27:53 > 1:27:56They passed it so well, almost an extension of what Barcelona

1:27:56 > 1:27:59had been doing for the years in advance,

1:27:59 > 1:28:01and they had taken it onto the international stage.

1:28:01 > 1:28:04For me, they were head and shoulders above anything in that tournament.

1:28:04 > 1:28:06Whilst remaining impartial, I have to say,

1:28:06 > 1:28:09I was pretty pleased when Iniesta scored the goal.

1:28:09 > 1:28:11COMMENTATOR: Broken for Fabregas.

1:28:11 > 1:28:13Now it's Iniesta. This is it! That's the goal!

1:28:14 > 1:28:18Spain have surely won the World Cup!

1:28:18 > 1:28:20The right result, the better football team,

1:28:20 > 1:28:23and in 2010, the best football team on the planet won the World Cup.

1:28:23 > 1:28:26Spain were terrific, a joy to watch.

1:28:26 > 1:28:30To win three major trophies on the bounce is quite something.

1:28:30 > 1:28:33If they now go and win the World Cup in Brazil,

1:28:33 > 1:28:38they will unquestionably be the greatest side in history,

1:28:38 > 1:28:42because to do what they've done, in the modern age,

1:28:42 > 1:28:44is pretty inconceivable.

1:28:51 > 1:28:54For many, France '98 had everything.

1:28:54 > 1:28:57It produced a dream final, the hosts against holders Brazil...

1:28:57 > 1:28:59and Ronaldo versus Zidane.

1:28:59 > 1:29:03However, an hour from kick off, the world held its breath as,

1:29:03 > 1:29:06suddenly, one of them might not feature.

1:29:06 > 1:29:08So I'm thinking, "France - Brazil."

1:29:08 > 1:29:13Fantastic lead-up. Got to the stadium, brilliant atmosphere.

1:29:13 > 1:29:18We did fancy our chances when Holland lost against Brazil.

1:29:18 > 1:29:20We actually didn't want to play Holland.

1:29:20 > 1:29:24We got to the ground. Trevor Brooking and I took our seats...

1:29:24 > 1:29:27We arrive in the dressing room and, obviously, you wait for...

1:29:27 > 1:29:31you know... You wait to see who's going to play for them.

1:29:31 > 1:29:33And then we got the team sheets.

1:29:33 > 1:29:35We've just had the shock news that Ronaldo will not

1:29:35 > 1:29:38be in the Brazil XI for tonight's match.

1:29:38 > 1:29:40Well, the whole press area went mad.

1:29:40 > 1:29:43Journalists and commentators from all over the world were

1:29:43 > 1:29:45rushing up and screaming at each other and saying,

1:29:45 > 1:29:46"What is happening?!"

1:29:46 > 1:29:49Why would he not be in the line-up? It's... It's Ronaldo.

1:29:49 > 1:29:50It's the best player in the world.

1:29:50 > 1:29:53I remember there was that whole heap of speculation surrounding

1:29:53 > 1:29:54what had happened.

1:29:54 > 1:29:57Rumours were going around that he'd collapsed during the afternoon

1:29:57 > 1:29:59and that he'd had a heart attack.

1:29:59 > 1:30:01To be honest, I didn't really know what to think.

1:30:01 > 1:30:04I got the impression that nobody really wanted to tell us

1:30:04 > 1:30:06what the truth of all that was.

1:30:06 > 1:30:09I'm just going to interrupt you there, cos news has just come

1:30:09 > 1:30:12out that the biggest wind-up in World Cup football history has...

1:30:12 > 1:30:14has just hit the news, because Ronaldo will play.

1:30:14 > 1:30:17He was on the team sheet. No, he wasn't on the team sheet.

1:30:17 > 1:30:20Then he was on the team sheet. He was sick. Will he play?

1:30:20 > 1:30:22And he ended up playing...

1:30:22 > 1:30:25and that caused quite a bit of a stir.

1:30:25 > 1:30:28John Motson was obviously in his complete element there.

1:30:28 > 1:30:30I think Trevor Brooking's next -

1:30:30 > 1:30:32well, he is next to me - and I think...

1:30:32 > 1:30:33HE LAUGHS I was gabbling a bit,

1:30:33 > 1:30:36but tried to tell the story of the way it had been.

1:30:36 > 1:30:38And here's the second team sheet, which says

1:30:38 > 1:30:41Ronaldo plays and Edmundo is a substitute.

1:30:41 > 1:30:43Now, you were going on about the legality of this.

1:30:43 > 1:30:46I think as long as the Brazilians got their second one in within the time

1:30:46 > 1:30:49restriction, I would think they will be allowed to start

1:30:49 > 1:30:51with the team that's now listed.

1:30:51 > 1:30:54When he did come out, he just didn't look all there, did he?

1:30:54 > 1:30:58It turns out he's had, I believe, a seizure just before the game.

1:30:58 > 1:31:02He had a problem. It was very complicated to manage the situation.

1:31:02 > 1:31:04He didn't even get to do a little warm up,

1:31:04 > 1:31:08but he's actually in the starting XI, and then doesn't quite perform.

1:31:08 > 1:31:11Without Ronaldo we'd prepare everything with Edmundo,

1:31:11 > 1:31:14even the corner kicks, the defending corner kicks,

1:31:14 > 1:31:16then you change where you have a problem.

1:31:16 > 1:31:20It was like that. Zidane scored twice by corner kicks.

1:31:20 > 1:31:24The Brazilians in the crowd were crying.

1:31:24 > 1:31:27It was... It was like a day of mourning for them.

1:31:27 > 1:31:29I couldn't believe it.

1:31:29 > 1:31:33You have 22 players. If there are 21 players, there is no problem.

1:31:33 > 1:31:37You don't play - it's finished. If it's Ronaldo, it's what happened.

1:31:37 > 1:31:40COMMENTATOR: Here's Emmanuel Petit. Yes!

1:31:40 > 1:31:43People were always talking about, "Yeah, but Ronaldo had a problem,

1:31:43 > 1:31:44"so maybe you guys..."

1:31:44 > 1:31:47I think it was our time and we won.

1:31:47 > 1:31:50It wasn't the Ronaldo that we were expecting to see in the final,

1:31:50 > 1:31:53and because of that, the blooming French won,

1:31:53 > 1:31:55which disgusts me more than anything.

1:31:55 > 1:31:58The celebrations in Paris were unbelievable.

1:31:58 > 1:32:02I remember Zidane's face being projected on the Arc de Triomphe.

1:32:02 > 1:32:05I'm not even French, but I felt a bit patriotic for them.

1:32:11 > 1:32:14- There you go, 1-0. - Oh, what?!

1:32:14 > 1:32:15So, Rio, what do you reckon?

1:32:15 > 1:32:17The bigger the game, the bigger the goal celebration?

1:32:17 > 1:32:21Yeah. Well, I reckon, if you score a goal in an end of season friendly,

1:32:21 > 1:32:24you give it a bit. But if you score a goal in the World Cup finals,

1:32:24 > 1:32:27- you go bonkers. - What? Like you did?

1:32:27 > 1:32:28HE LAUGHS

1:32:28 > 1:32:32No, more like Marco Tardelli in the 1982 World Cup finals.

1:32:32 > 1:32:34- Bit of this? Bit of this? - He went bananas, mate.

1:32:37 > 1:32:42The Tardelli goal celebration is one that even now, in my 40s,

1:32:42 > 1:32:45having a kick about, as I sometimes do with my friends, or play

1:32:45 > 1:32:48five-a-side, somebody still goes the Tardelli.

1:32:49 > 1:32:52Right across to Marco Tardelli!

1:32:55 > 1:32:572-0 to Italy.

1:32:59 > 1:33:03He kind of did this and he ran dementedly towards the camera.

1:33:03 > 1:33:06You know, just like... I don't know what was up with him.

1:33:06 > 1:33:08I've no idea what on earth he was saying,

1:33:08 > 1:33:10but you could tell what it meant to him.

1:33:10 > 1:33:12I've not seen Italian people behave like that,

1:33:12 > 1:33:16unless a sauce had gone wrong. "I said, no more garlic!"

1:33:16 > 1:33:18Tardelli was saying something in Italian -

1:33:18 > 1:33:21whether it was anything highly intellectual I'll probably doubt,

1:33:21 > 1:33:23but that's what it's about, isn't it?

1:33:23 > 1:33:24Scoring a goal at a World Cup.

1:33:24 > 1:33:27When you score a goal and the look of just utter surprise on your face,

1:33:27 > 1:33:30it shows that you've done something you didn't expect to do,

1:33:30 > 1:33:33so that's not a cool look. But in terms of the passion that it actually shows...

1:33:33 > 1:33:36unadulterated joy, was fantastic and I loved it

1:33:36 > 1:33:38because I don't like to see contrived celebrations.

1:33:38 > 1:33:41Maybe that was kind of the monster that spawned them all.

1:33:41 > 1:33:43It was a licence to go and just do whatever you want

1:33:43 > 1:33:46when you score a goal, apart from take your top off.

1:33:46 > 1:33:48That should get you sent off the pitch.

1:33:48 > 1:33:51COMMENTATOR: Marco Tardelli!

1:33:55 > 1:33:58At number six, it was a wail of a very different kind that was

1:33:58 > 1:34:01heard around the world from Brazil in 1950.

1:34:01 > 1:34:03In the only World Cup not to have a final,

1:34:03 > 1:34:06the hosts only needed a draw in the last match of the final round

1:34:06 > 1:34:11group against Uruguay to become world champions for the first time.

1:34:11 > 1:34:14The unthinkable couldn't happen, or could it?

1:34:14 > 1:34:17This was a Brazilian team who played in all white.

1:34:17 > 1:34:21They were absolutely deified in their own country.

1:34:21 > 1:34:24Played fantastic football.

1:34:24 > 1:34:28Absolutely blew away the European journalists who went out

1:34:28 > 1:34:29to cover the World Cup.

1:34:29 > 1:34:33They had won all their matches by an enormous score.

1:34:33 > 1:34:35The start of the game against Uruguay

1:34:35 > 1:34:38and the Mayor of Rio has just beclaimed them world champions.

1:34:38 > 1:34:41You can buy newspapers that day with a poster of Brazil, the world champions.

1:34:41 > 1:34:45They're unstoppable. No-one can deal with this Brazil side.

1:34:45 > 1:34:47I've always had a soft spot for Uruguay,

1:34:47 > 1:34:49but as motivation goes,

1:34:49 > 1:34:52asking your team-mates to urinate on newspapers...

1:34:52 > 1:34:55It wasn't long in the final before Brazil went ahead.

1:34:55 > 1:34:58Uruguay had a great player in midfield

1:34:58 > 1:34:59called Juan Schiaffino,

1:34:59 > 1:35:01and he equalised.

1:35:01 > 1:35:04And then the Brazilians got very nervous, and their goalkeeper,

1:35:04 > 1:35:08Barbosa, had a bad moment, because Ghiggia came down the right

1:35:08 > 1:35:13wing and he poked a shot, I'd have to say, inside Barbosa's near post.

1:35:13 > 1:35:16And out came the handkerchiefs, the Brazilian tears,

1:35:16 > 1:35:20Uruguay won 2-1, their captain collected the cup.

1:35:20 > 1:35:23That was the lowest point in Brazilian football history.

1:35:23 > 1:35:27And they were never, ever allowed to forget that they lost that game.

1:35:27 > 1:35:31The black players were singled out for special criticism.

1:35:31 > 1:35:34Poor old Barbosa never got over it till the end of his life.

1:35:34 > 1:35:35A few decades later,

1:35:35 > 1:35:40he ceremonially burned the goalposts of the Maracana.

1:35:40 > 1:35:43You explain the present looking for the past,

1:35:43 > 1:35:50so it's normal if you arrive in that day to play a final match.

1:35:50 > 1:35:52If it's against Uruguay, it will be worst.

1:35:52 > 1:35:55But if against Argentina, it would be not easy, also.

1:35:58 > 1:36:02Number five could well be described as the thud heard around the globe.

1:36:02 > 1:36:05Take one of the best players in the world, an antagonistic

1:36:05 > 1:36:10Italian defender, put them in a 2006 World Cup final, and stir it up.

1:36:10 > 1:36:12A heady cocktail indeed.

1:36:12 > 1:36:16So this is probably the most notorious headbutt

1:36:16 > 1:36:18in football history.

1:36:18 > 1:36:23We'll always remember that moment of, that moment of madness.

1:36:23 > 1:36:27Zinedine Zidane, to me, was the most graceful, balletic and yet

1:36:27 > 1:36:31powerful footballer, and he will be for ever my favourite footballer.

1:36:31 > 1:36:33We all knew this was going to be his last World Cup, you know,

1:36:33 > 1:36:35his final game for France.

1:36:35 > 1:36:38It's 1-1, extra time, you know.

1:36:38 > 1:36:41This is where you need your top players to step up.

1:36:41 > 1:36:45Marco Materazzi, giving him a little banter on the pitch.

1:36:45 > 1:36:48Whatever was said, Zidane flips.

1:36:48 > 1:36:52- COMMENTATOR:- This is interesting, this is Trezeguet, we think.

1:36:52 > 1:36:54Trezeguet with Materazzi, is it?

1:36:54 > 1:36:56Only thing I remember is people screaming.

1:36:56 > 1:36:58I don't know what happened.

1:36:58 > 1:37:00Nobody really knew what was going on,

1:37:00 > 1:37:03because it wasn't caught on the main coverage.

1:37:03 > 1:37:05Everyone was waiting for the images, and when they came,

1:37:05 > 1:37:07it was completely shocking.

1:37:10 > 1:37:13It's Zidane's head into the chest of Materazzi! That's what it is.

1:37:14 > 1:37:19The whole world, millions of people, have seen Zidane take Materazzi out.

1:37:19 > 1:37:22I remember watching it, thinking, "Has he just headbutted him?"

1:37:22 > 1:37:26I mean, it was an unbelievable headbutt in his chest, wasn't it?

1:37:26 > 1:37:30Like some sort of an animal from a Spanish bullring.

1:37:30 > 1:37:33Just bends down and drives his head in.

1:37:33 > 1:37:37And you're thinking, "Brilliant!"

1:37:37 > 1:37:40I see it now and I still go...why?

1:37:40 > 1:37:42This is common assault. This is prison.

1:37:42 > 1:37:45If this happened in the street in England, you'd be in prison.

1:37:45 > 1:37:46Everyone's just like,

1:37:46 > 1:37:49"What did he say, like, for him to wind up Zinedine Zidane like that?"

1:37:49 > 1:37:53He must have said something proper harsh, something about his sister.

1:37:53 > 1:37:55Materazzi had been hugging him.

1:37:55 > 1:37:57Zizou's then turned to Materazzi and said,

1:37:57 > 1:38:00"If you like this shirt so much, I'll give it to you afterwards."

1:38:00 > 1:38:03At which point, Materazzi has said to Zizou, "I'd prefer your sister."

1:38:03 > 1:38:07Now, I've looked at Zizou's sister, and if I'm honest with you,

1:38:07 > 1:38:08I'd take the shirt.

1:38:08 > 1:38:09Not a nice thing to say.

1:38:09 > 1:38:14You sort of go, "I think that's an overreaction, in the end, Zinedine."

1:38:14 > 1:38:18He's off! It's red! It's Zidane!

1:38:18 > 1:38:20Zidane's career ends in disgrace.

1:38:20 > 1:38:24It changed not only Zidane's mind, but the entire team.

1:38:24 > 1:38:28The team was relying so much on Zinedine Zidane, that when he

1:38:28 > 1:38:34was sent off, the entire team start to worry about the rest of the game.

1:38:34 > 1:38:37I don't know how many times that guy saved us,

1:38:37 > 1:38:38but it's difficult to have a go at Zizou

1:38:38 > 1:38:41because I know you will say to me,

1:38:41 > 1:38:43"But it's the final of the World Cup." But sometimes

1:38:43 > 1:38:45when you lose your mind, you don't control it, so...

1:38:45 > 1:38:48Sometimes when someone does something wrong, you've got to be

1:38:48 > 1:38:52by his side and suffer as a team.

1:38:52 > 1:38:55Rather than pick up the World Cup, he headbutted an Italian

1:38:55 > 1:38:58and got sent off in the biggest game of the lot.

1:38:58 > 1:39:00Talk about the walk of shame, for him.

1:39:00 > 1:39:03And the Italians went on to win on penalties. Nightmare.

1:39:03 > 1:39:06There's that image of him walking past the World Cup trophy,

1:39:06 > 1:39:09as he leaves the field, having been red-carded in a World Cup final.

1:39:09 > 1:39:11It's like the biggest prize in world football,

1:39:11 > 1:39:13and he doesn't even glance at it.

1:39:13 > 1:39:16He's probably thinking, "I've got one already, mate.

1:39:16 > 1:39:17"I don't need a second one."

1:39:19 > 1:39:22Have you had anything named after you?

1:39:22 > 1:39:25Well, there's a city in Brazil, that animated film,

1:39:25 > 1:39:28that song by Duran Duran, and that drink.

1:39:28 > 1:39:30- Ah, the drink.- What about you?

1:39:30 > 1:39:32I haven't really had anything,

1:39:32 > 1:39:34but I'm thinking, because I'm a bit of a mover myself,

1:39:34 > 1:39:37I'm quite decent at football, maybe I could do a new skill that

1:39:37 > 1:39:40no-one's ever seen before and they could name it the Murs.

1:39:40 > 1:39:42The Murs Fantastic, or something.

1:39:42 > 1:39:45- Right, let's see what move you can produce.- Ready? Here we go.

1:39:45 > 1:39:48- I'm thinking, like, a little bit like this.- Wow.

1:39:48 > 1:39:51I've seen people try that before, and to be honest,

1:39:51 > 1:39:53- it needs a few more moves. - Yeah, I've got more in my locker.

1:39:53 > 1:39:57Anyway, here at number four is how to really get immortalised.

1:40:00 > 1:40:03I had one poster in my bedroom, was Johan Cruyff.

1:40:03 > 1:40:06Cruyff in his prime, especially in that World Cup,

1:40:06 > 1:40:07was right up there with the best of them.

1:40:07 > 1:40:10He was a beautifully balanced player, though, wasn't he?

1:40:10 > 1:40:13He was slim, he was elegant, he was tall...

1:40:13 > 1:40:15He just had an incredible balance.

1:40:15 > 1:40:17He was absolute genius.

1:40:17 > 1:40:19He just played the game at his own pace,

1:40:19 > 1:40:21which I think, at that level, is fantastic.

1:40:21 > 1:40:22The Johan Cruyff turn was...

1:40:22 > 1:40:25Now it is just a standard bit of football, isn't it?

1:40:25 > 1:40:26Everyone can do it probably.

1:40:26 > 1:40:29It's only Cruyff that can do it that well.

1:40:29 > 1:40:31COMMENTATOR: Cruyff.

1:40:34 > 1:40:37He left him for dead!

1:40:37 > 1:40:39- You could just hear the whole crowd go... - HE GASPS

1:40:39 > 1:40:41It was just the moment when you just go, oops!

1:40:46 > 1:40:48Incredible, fancy footwork at its best

1:40:48 > 1:40:50and the Cruyff turn was invented.

1:40:50 > 1:40:52A lot of people tried to copy it,

1:40:52 > 1:40:54but nobody did it as well as Cruyff.

1:40:54 > 1:40:56I didn't know it was a Johan Cruyff turn.

1:40:56 > 1:40:58I used to do the turns without the football,

1:40:58 > 1:41:00and people were like, "Yeah, you've got the skills,

1:41:00 > 1:41:03"now try and do it with a football," which I really failed with.

1:41:03 > 1:41:07At that particular piece of skill, there's nobody ever been better.

1:41:07 > 1:41:08It's almost like the moonwalk.

1:41:08 > 1:41:11It wasn't done by Michael Jackson first, everybody thinks it was.

1:41:11 > 1:41:14It was done by Jeffrey Daniels from Shalamar.

1:41:14 > 1:41:17The Cruyff turn was probably done by some bloke called Harold,

1:41:17 > 1:41:19who's not getting the credit for it,

1:41:19 > 1:41:22but Cruyff did it at the World Cup, on the stage that mattered.

1:41:22 > 1:41:24It's as if someone's done a magic trick on him,

1:41:24 > 1:41:27and he's looking at the space where Cruyff definitely was.

1:41:27 > 1:41:30You can see him just go, "No, but... What...?

1:41:30 > 1:41:31"No, he's...

1:41:31 > 1:41:34"But he's gone that way and I don't know how he's gone that way."

1:41:34 > 1:41:37Like, yeah, like the vanishing Dutchman.

1:41:37 > 1:41:40So we're down to the top three, and at number three,

1:41:40 > 1:41:43a real Argentinian magician - Diego Maradona.

1:41:43 > 1:41:44Yes, my favourite player of all time,

1:41:44 > 1:41:47the tricks he could do were phenomenal.

1:41:47 > 1:41:49Especially his sleight of hand.

1:41:49 > 1:41:51Yeah, that fooled everyone, but mainly the ref.

1:41:51 > 1:41:54Yeah, but aside from that, he had the lot -

1:41:54 > 1:41:56dribbling, strength, passing, shooting...

1:41:56 > 1:41:58And the gurning.

1:41:58 > 1:42:00Yeah, and he was something of a tortured soul,

1:42:00 > 1:42:04but when he was good, he was outstanding-bloody-brilliant.

1:42:04 > 1:42:05So, here at number three

1:42:05 > 1:42:09is the good, the bad and the ugly of Diego Maradona.

1:42:13 > 1:42:16I think everybody that saw the World Cup in '86

1:42:16 > 1:42:18will always remember Maradona.

1:42:19 > 1:42:22Well, needless to say, during Maradona's histrionics

1:42:22 > 1:42:27and heroics, I was at t'other end of the pitch.

1:42:27 > 1:42:31COMMENTATOR: Maradona just walked away from Hoddle then.

1:42:31 > 1:42:33Valdano, Hodge...

1:42:33 > 1:42:34Maradona!

1:42:36 > 1:42:40And Maradona gives Argentina the lead.

1:42:40 > 1:42:42The England players protesting to the referee.

1:42:44 > 1:42:46I didn't see the handball. I was one of...

1:42:46 > 1:42:48Probably me and the linesman

1:42:48 > 1:42:50were the only two people who didn't see it,

1:42:50 > 1:42:53but I could tell quickly from the reaction of Pete Shilton,

1:42:53 > 1:42:56Terry Butcher and one or two other of our players

1:42:56 > 1:42:59that something untoward had happened.

1:42:59 > 1:43:03COMMENTATOR: Well, the little man who started it by walking past Hoddle.

1:43:03 > 1:43:05There's where the ball came from Hodge,

1:43:05 > 1:43:08Maradona had continued the run forward...

1:43:09 > 1:43:11..and the goal is given.

1:43:12 > 1:43:14It was cheeky.

1:43:14 > 1:43:15He did it brilliantly, though.

1:43:15 > 1:43:18Even if you look on the replay, you have to look again, don't you,

1:43:18 > 1:43:20to be absolutely sure? He was very clever.

1:43:20 > 1:43:23The drug taking, anything else, doesn't really bother me.

1:43:23 > 1:43:25The weird political views -

1:43:25 > 1:43:27you know, I can forgive him for all that.

1:43:27 > 1:43:30But that hand of God - come on, mate.

1:43:30 > 1:43:33I think it's different when you get beaten with skill, quality,

1:43:33 > 1:43:35you put your hands up to it.

1:43:35 > 1:43:37But injustice...

1:43:37 > 1:43:40You can't get your head around that. It's just not fair.

1:43:40 > 1:43:43Peter Shilton was my hero when I grew up,

1:43:43 > 1:43:45and I felt bad for him because, you know,

1:43:45 > 1:43:47people say, well, he's bigger than him,

1:43:47 > 1:43:49he should have just come and caught it anyway,

1:43:49 > 1:43:51but he would have caught it, but he didn't allow for...

1:43:51 > 1:43:54Why would you allow for the fact that someone's going to punch it?

1:43:54 > 1:43:55Because it just doesn't happen.

1:43:55 > 1:43:58In my mind, it was sort of eclipsed by the other goal

1:43:58 > 1:44:02that Maradona scored, which I think is the best...

1:44:02 > 1:44:03goal I've ever seen.

1:44:03 > 1:44:06Diego, I was just mesmerised by him, watching him play.

1:44:06 > 1:44:09I just was transfixed, just watching him throughout the whole game,

1:44:09 > 1:44:10and that second goal that he scored...

1:44:10 > 1:44:13It genuinely looked like he'd been, "You know what?

1:44:13 > 1:44:15"Let's just win this.

1:44:15 > 1:44:17"I've given them a little bit of controversy - watch this."

1:44:18 > 1:44:22COMMENTATOR: He has Burruchaga to his left and Valdano to his left,

1:44:22 > 1:44:24he won't need any of them!

1:44:24 > 1:44:25Oh!

1:44:25 > 1:44:27You have to say that's magnificent!

1:44:27 > 1:44:30There is no debate about that goal,

1:44:30 > 1:44:33that was just pure football genius.

1:44:33 > 1:44:35The pitch was terrible,

1:44:35 > 1:44:38so how he did the things that he did on the way to scoring that goal

1:44:38 > 1:44:40were beyond belief, to be honest.

1:44:40 > 1:44:41It was a remarkable moment.

1:44:41 > 1:44:45Inside one, away from another,

1:44:45 > 1:44:47and the coolness under pressure.

1:44:49 > 1:44:52Him scoring that goal kind of justified

1:44:52 > 1:44:55every bad thing that he did for his career.

1:44:55 > 1:44:58Like, the hand of God, getting overweight...

1:44:58 > 1:45:01He sort of went from a cheat to a genius in that match,

1:45:01 > 1:45:03because you just looked at what he did and it was like,

1:45:03 > 1:45:04"All right then."

1:45:04 > 1:45:07COMMENTATOR: If the first was illegal,

1:45:07 > 1:45:10the second was one of the best goals we've seen in this championship.

1:45:10 > 1:45:11I felt like I should applaud.

1:45:11 > 1:45:14I didn't, but it was the only time when I've ever played a game

1:45:14 > 1:45:16where I thought, "Wow."

1:45:16 > 1:45:21The whistle goes, and England are out of the World Cup.

1:45:21 > 1:45:23After that game,

1:45:23 > 1:45:27I don't think I've ever been in a more angry dressing room.

1:45:27 > 1:45:30People like Bobby Robson himself were ranting in there,

1:45:30 > 1:45:32and there was a feeling that we'd been robbed.

1:45:32 > 1:45:36He was just head and shoulders above anybody else in the world, ever,

1:45:36 > 1:45:39as far as I'm concerned, so you can't stop Diego Maradona.

1:45:39 > 1:45:42- What's up? - There are some people on the set,

1:45:42 > 1:45:45they think it's all over, but it isn't, though, is it?

1:45:45 > 1:45:49- No, we're down to number two. - Yeah, number two.

1:45:51 > 1:45:551966. It was a great year.

1:45:55 > 1:45:57I can't remember who won the World Cup in that year,

1:45:57 > 1:45:59it's been mentioned.

1:45:59 > 1:46:01That was the proudest thing my dad had about me,

1:46:01 > 1:46:05was the fact that I could name the '66 team at eight.

1:46:05 > 1:46:07Can I name any? Oh, flipping hell.

1:46:08 > 1:46:09Hurst?

1:46:09 > 1:46:12Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst...

1:46:12 > 1:46:16Banks in goal, centre backs, Bobby Moore, Jack Charlton...

1:46:16 > 1:46:17Argh!

1:46:17 > 1:46:19George Cohen.

1:46:19 > 1:46:21Trevor Brooking's younger than that.

1:46:21 > 1:46:22Er, Bobby Moore...

1:46:22 > 1:46:24- The Charltons... - Bobby Charlton...

1:46:24 > 1:46:28Bobby Charlton, erm, Bobby Charlton...

1:46:28 > 1:46:29Is that three?

1:46:29 > 1:46:31Hurst...

1:46:31 > 1:46:32Peters...

1:46:32 > 1:46:33Who else? Who else?

1:46:33 > 1:46:34..Banks...

1:46:34 > 1:46:36Martin Peters.

1:46:36 > 1:46:38Geoff Hurst, Roger Hunt...

1:46:38 > 1:46:40Was Roger Hunt playing?

1:46:40 > 1:46:41Alan Ball.

1:46:41 > 1:46:44Jimmy Greaves wasn't, even though he was probably our best striker.

1:46:44 > 1:46:45Stiles...

1:46:45 > 1:46:48Bobby Stiles, Nobby Stiles, I don't even know what his name is,

1:46:48 > 1:46:50- all I know is he's got big glasses. - Ray Wilson. Yeah.

1:46:50 > 1:46:52Um...

1:46:52 > 1:46:55That is basically One Direction, though, isn't it?

1:46:55 > 1:46:56The England team of '66.

1:46:56 > 1:47:00Great names etched into the heart of every English man and woman,

1:47:00 > 1:47:03and in some cases tattooed on their inner thigh.

1:47:03 > 1:47:04Really?

1:47:04 > 1:47:07Well, I did think about it, but there were no years of hurt,

1:47:07 > 1:47:10we didn't have to dream, and they took on the world and they won.

1:47:10 > 1:47:13They are the boys of '66.

1:47:13 > 1:47:15At number two?! Shocking!

1:47:15 > 1:47:18I was a ten-year-old kid watching it in Scotland,

1:47:18 > 1:47:20and obviously wanting West Germany to win,

1:47:20 > 1:47:24but you couldn't help but admire Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton.

1:47:24 > 1:47:26It's odd that something that is, you know,

1:47:26 > 1:47:3013 years before I was born, I still felt pride for.

1:47:34 > 1:47:35Wilson's header...

1:47:35 > 1:47:36to Haller...

1:47:36 > 1:47:38A goal! West Germany have scored.

1:47:41 > 1:47:44I like to think that 1966, West Ham won the World Cup.

1:47:44 > 1:47:46That's how that's still seen, as a West Ham fan.

1:47:46 > 1:47:49There's a statue of Bobby Moore holding aloft the World Cup.

1:47:52 > 1:47:53COMMENTATOR: The free kick,

1:47:53 > 1:47:54in it goes!

1:47:54 > 1:47:56It's an equaliser!

1:47:56 > 1:47:58That tremendous knees up,

1:47:58 > 1:48:00jumping in the air kind of stupid thing, which I look at

1:48:00 > 1:48:02and looks really stupid today,

1:48:02 > 1:48:04was something that was an expression of, you know, I'm here.

1:48:04 > 1:48:06Hurst.

1:48:09 > 1:48:12Might be a chance at goal!

1:48:13 > 1:48:14Peters!

1:48:14 > 1:48:172-1, Martin Peters, another West Ham player.

1:48:17 > 1:48:20Playing with players you worked with over many years can have

1:48:20 > 1:48:25an impact in big games where you have an understanding between two players.

1:48:25 > 1:48:27It's Emmerich coming in.

1:48:28 > 1:48:30And it's...

1:48:30 > 1:48:32Oh, yes, he must do!

1:48:32 > 1:48:36They have done! Weber has scored in the last seconds!

1:48:36 > 1:48:39He knocked the ball in the back of the net and I went, "Bloody hell."

1:48:39 > 1:48:41I couldn't believe it.

1:48:41 > 1:48:44And I suppose we could have bargained for extra time.

1:48:44 > 1:48:48Alf Ramsey, the man who schemed all this.

1:48:48 > 1:48:51He said, "Come on, you've won it once, you've got to win it again,"

1:48:51 > 1:48:52that fantastic quote.

1:48:52 > 1:48:56Come on then, we'll have to do it again.

1:48:57 > 1:49:00And here's Ball, running himself daft.

1:49:00 > 1:49:02Now Hurst, can he do it?

1:49:02 > 1:49:03He has done, yes!

1:49:05 > 1:49:06Yes...

1:49:06 > 1:49:09No. No, the linesman says no.

1:49:09 > 1:49:12'As the player that hits the shot, I want to believe'

1:49:12 > 1:49:15more than anything in my life that ball is over the line.

1:49:15 > 1:49:17My feeling is that a Russian linesman

1:49:17 > 1:49:19gave us a little bit of a favour.

1:49:19 > 1:49:22The Swiss referee consulting a Russian linesman,

1:49:22 > 1:49:25neither spoke the language - God knows what they were talking about.

1:49:26 > 1:49:27It's a goal!

1:49:27 > 1:49:31It's a goal, all the Germans go mad at the referee.

1:49:32 > 1:49:34It was very, very difficult.

1:49:34 > 1:49:37I was close to the situation because I was in the penalty area,

1:49:37 > 1:49:40but it was too fast.

1:49:40 > 1:49:43Roger Hunt, following up,

1:49:43 > 1:49:46he turned away and said, "It's a goal and I've always gone on that."

1:49:46 > 1:49:48Again, it's West Ham, Bobby releases Geoff.

1:49:50 > 1:49:54He's going towards goal, it can't possibly happen, can it?

1:49:54 > 1:49:57I had a call from one of my team-mates on the right wing,

1:49:57 > 1:49:59it went something like this,

1:49:59 > 1:50:00HIGH-PITCHED VOICE: "Hursty!

1:50:00 > 1:50:03"Hursty! Give me the ball!"

1:50:03 > 1:50:07And that call disturbed the German defence, no doubt, no doubt.

1:50:07 > 1:50:10But I said to myself, "Sod you, Bally, I'm on a hat-trick."

1:50:10 > 1:50:13And he smashed the ball with his left foot.

1:50:13 > 1:50:15COMMENTATOR: And here comes Hurst...

1:50:15 > 1:50:18Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over.

1:50:18 > 1:50:20It is now!

1:50:20 > 1:50:22It's four!

1:50:22 > 1:50:24Hurst has got three.

1:50:24 > 1:50:27And the little bugger never forgave me for the next 30-odd years

1:50:27 > 1:50:29because I didn't pass to him.

1:50:29 > 1:50:32The greatest commentary line that was ever delivered, and I'm sure he

1:50:32 > 1:50:35didn't think it up on the day and probably didn't think about it

1:50:35 > 1:50:36for a few weeks, Ken Wolstenholme,

1:50:36 > 1:50:38"They think it's all over, it is now."

1:50:38 > 1:50:40Every time you hear that, it gets better and better.

1:50:40 > 1:50:43The final moments before Geoff Hurst's hat-trick

1:50:43 > 1:50:47completion goal, that's a giddy, silly, euphoric,

1:50:47 > 1:50:49"There's people on the pitch" type stuff.

1:50:49 > 1:50:51It is all over, England are the world champions.

1:50:55 > 1:50:57England are the world champions.

1:50:59 > 1:51:01It was paradise.

1:51:01 > 1:51:03It was just paradise, you know.

1:51:03 > 1:51:06Everybody was hugging one another.

1:51:06 > 1:51:10I think England was the better team and they deserved the win.

1:51:10 > 1:51:14And everything then was happiness.

1:51:14 > 1:51:18This great moment in English sporting history.

1:51:18 > 1:51:21'Bobby was crying, Geoff was on his hands and knees,

1:51:21 > 1:51:24'and they were probably more aware

1:51:24 > 1:51:26'of the occasion, the momentous occasion'

1:51:26 > 1:51:28and achievement than I was as a youngster.

1:51:28 > 1:51:33Jackie said to me, "What about that, kidder? What about that?"

1:51:33 > 1:51:37And I said, "Well, Jackie, our lives are never going to be the same."

1:51:41 > 1:51:44And Bobby Moore comes up to receive

1:51:44 > 1:51:47the Jules Rimet Trophy for England.

1:51:48 > 1:51:52Solid gold, and it means England are the world champions.

1:52:01 > 1:52:03So, this is it.

1:52:03 > 1:52:06The greatest moment in World Cup history.

1:52:06 > 1:52:07Brazil 1970.

1:52:07 > 1:52:10On their own, just the name of the country and a year,

1:52:10 > 1:52:14but put them together and they're the greatest team of all time.

1:52:14 > 1:52:18They played the beautiful game, more beautifully than anyone.

1:52:18 > 1:52:21Playing like that, they won the 1970 World Cup,

1:52:21 > 1:52:24making Brazil champions for the third time

1:52:24 > 1:52:29and allowing them to keep for ever the original Jules Rimet Trophy.

1:52:29 > 1:52:32No-one has ever played the game like them,

1:52:32 > 1:52:35and it's unlikely that anyone ever will.

1:52:35 > 1:52:37They were simply the best.

1:52:37 > 1:52:42- So, here they are, at number one, Brazil 1970.- Enjoy.

1:52:45 > 1:52:50I grew up with the tradition of the third World Cup champions

1:52:50 > 1:52:52of Brazil in Mexico.

1:52:52 > 1:52:56I think the Brazil of 1970 were probably

1:52:56 > 1:52:59the greatest national team ever.

1:52:59 > 1:53:03COMMENTATOR: It's Clodoaldo, who scores! What a great goal!

1:53:03 > 1:53:05This is Brazilian football...

1:53:05 > 1:53:06'This generation, I think,'

1:53:06 > 1:53:08changed the history of Brazil's football.

1:53:08 > 1:53:11It was an amazing team, the football was...

1:53:11 > 1:53:13It was football that we all dream about watching.

1:53:13 > 1:53:18Jairzinho's off like the wind, and scores!

1:53:18 > 1:53:21Carlos Alberto, Rivellino, Jairzinho...

1:53:21 > 1:53:24The midfield two, Gerson and Tostao...

1:53:24 > 1:53:25..Clodoaldo...

1:53:25 > 1:53:28And obviously in Pele, they had, you know,

1:53:28 > 1:53:31probably one of the greatest three players

1:53:31 > 1:53:33that has ever played the game, if not the greatest.

1:53:33 > 1:53:36Don't know who played in goal, don't think they needed a goalkeeper.

1:53:36 > 1:53:38We talk about our game today being so quick

1:53:38 > 1:53:41and the Premiership being brilliant, the speed of it, but there's

1:53:41 > 1:53:45something beautiful in the artistry about that Brazilian team.

1:53:45 > 1:53:48It being sweltering, skill, technique meant everything

1:53:48 > 1:53:51and they were just effortless, weren't they?

1:53:51 > 1:53:54COMMENTATOR: Rivellino, and it's Pele! He's got it!

1:53:54 > 1:53:59Pele has scored, and that is Brazil's 100th goal in the World Cup.

1:53:59 > 1:54:03The first goal, Pele, he's in the air for about three months.

1:54:03 > 1:54:05It's the best header of all time.

1:54:05 > 1:54:08It's like there's no energy, no energy, no energy,

1:54:08 > 1:54:09burst of energy, goal.

1:54:09 > 1:54:10Jairzinho.

1:54:15 > 1:54:17Great goal, a beauty!

1:54:17 > 1:54:19Tremendous goal by Gerson!

1:54:19 > 1:54:22And then the fourth goal was the best goal of all time.

1:54:22 > 1:54:23That Carlos Alberto goal,

1:54:23 > 1:54:26I've seen it so many times and you just think, wow.

1:54:26 > 1:54:29The Brazilian player gets it, and he beats about four Italian

1:54:29 > 1:54:32players with a bit of shimmy and skill and trickery.

1:54:32 > 1:54:35If I was one of the Italian players, I would think, "You know what?

1:54:35 > 1:54:36"Let's just go.

1:54:36 > 1:54:39"You take the trophy, because clearly, now you're taking the piss."

1:54:39 > 1:54:42You couldn't take your eyes off them. The footwork was amazing,

1:54:42 > 1:54:45the way they got forward all the time, Pele's passing...

1:54:45 > 1:54:48There's a split second where you're watching, going,

1:54:48 > 1:54:50"Well, what's Pele up to?"

1:54:50 > 1:54:52Because there's no-one there.

1:54:52 > 1:54:54Carlos Alberto just comes in like a train.

1:54:54 > 1:54:57He strikes it so hard that he ends up in mid-air,

1:54:57 > 1:54:59like he's doing the hurdles.

1:55:00 > 1:55:04It does you, it does the cameraman, it does everyone. It does Italy.

1:55:04 > 1:55:08It was the way you'd always wanted to play yourself.

1:55:08 > 1:55:10I'd have been, what, 13,

1:55:10 > 1:55:13and, yeah, that made a massive impression on me.

1:55:13 > 1:55:17The whole team were just fantastic footballers, every one of them.

1:55:17 > 1:55:20I suppose Spain have challenged them in recent times,

1:55:20 > 1:55:23but the players they had and the football they played,

1:55:23 > 1:55:25they were just ahead of their time.

1:55:25 > 1:55:28They're the greatest football team of all time, I don't care.

1:55:28 > 1:55:31Better than Spain, better than all these other teams,

1:55:31 > 1:55:33just because they looked so beautiful playing football.

1:55:33 > 1:55:35Pele.

1:55:35 > 1:55:37Gerson.

1:55:38 > 1:55:41Oh, this is great stuff.

1:55:44 > 1:55:47They seem to take it in turns to give an exhibition.

1:55:47 > 1:55:49Jairzinho. Another step.

1:55:52 > 1:55:53Pele.

1:55:53 > 1:55:55Up comes Carlos Alberto on the right...

1:55:55 > 1:55:57and it's four!

1:55:59 > 1:56:04Oh, that was sheer delightful football!

1:56:08 > 1:56:11Well, that is it. Olly, it's been a pleasure.

1:56:11 > 1:56:13Thanks, mate. You know, we make a great team.

1:56:13 > 1:56:15Like Toshack and Keegan, Beardsley and Lineker,

1:56:15 > 1:56:19Hoddle and Waddle, Morecambe and Wise.

1:56:19 > 1:56:21- What do you reckon? - Something like that.

1:56:21 > 1:56:23Soon there'll be a whole load of great new World Cup moments

1:56:23 > 1:56:26- to add to our list and, frankly, I just can't wait.- You know what?

1:56:26 > 1:56:27Neither can I.

1:56:27 > 1:56:29We've got the World Cup starting, we can hook up,

1:56:29 > 1:56:32- go round your house, barbecue... - I can't, I'm busy.

1:56:32 > 1:56:35- I'm going to the World Cup with the Beeb.- Oh.

1:56:35 > 1:56:37So, goodbye all, thanks a lot.

1:56:37 > 1:56:39Yeah, thanks for watching. Come on, England.

1:56:39 > 1:56:42But, I mean, what about if I hold your bags in Brazil?

1:56:42 > 1:56:46- No, seriously, I'm actually busy. - You sure?- Yeah. All right?
