WORLD CUP FINALS, MEXICO 1986

PHOTO’S

Another great trip that was nearly scuppered before we left due to the now defunct travel agents making a complete balls-up of the travelling arrangements - no much wonder they went bust. Rather than spending the first night living it up in Toronto we spent it in the Adair Arms in Ballymena - enough said!!

 

Never made it out of the group but had a great three weeks away,watched Brazil in action and somehow managed to get into the team hotel for the last night party after the afore-mentioned game. Even had a drink with Big Pat on the occasion of his 41st birthday and his 119th and last appearance. Even shared a few 'pleasantries' with Ron Atkinson, the soon to be sacked United manager.

 

The NI support will forever and a day be known to me as MONTEZUMA'S BROWN AND WHITE ARMY as the chant used to go at the games. For anyone who has travelled to Mexico (or most foreign destinations) you will get the drift!!!
