I remember watching the 1996 final, when I was 7, but the most memorable World Cups were 1970, 74 and 78. 74 was good because it was in Germany and games were on at sensible times for the UK. The Dutch team in 74 were superb to watch, especially Cruyff.

1978 was good because of the atmosphere in Buenos Aires and the implosion of the Scottish team, especially after they cheated Wales out of a place.
I think you mean the 1066 final when the Normans won it on pelanties? Unlucky England!
