Since we are all missing football and sport in general I was thinking about my favourite football time. Have a go yourself and you could even include favourite sporting year as a whole.
My favourite football year would be 1996. I was 10 turning 11. I remember going to Wembley and that remains my fondest early football memory. Being that young and amongst 35,000 argyle fans was incredible. 1996 was also memorable because I remember being caught up in the hype around Euro 96. Watching England get to a semi final on home soil was brilliant. Gaza’s goal against Scotland and the win against Holland! But also other teams and players were exciting and it was such a tight tournament, both semis went to penalties that’s how close we were. What a time to be alive.
I also appreciate we have had more rough years than good.
