David Baddiel makes a joke about Colombia as a guest on BBC’s World Cup ‘94 coverage, which Bob Wilson seems keen to shut down. In light of what happened to Andres Escobar shortly afterwards, that exchange has aged rather awkwardly. It seems Bob was right to exercise some caution.

Having started Euro 88 with a loss to Ireland in their opening match, England had no margin for error against the Dutch, who had also lost their opening game to the USSR. Ruud Gullit was the name on everyone’s lips and was widely tipped as the man to watch. However, on 15/06/1988, it was his AC Milan team-mate Marco van Basten who stole the headlines with a devastating hat-trick. His performance was immaculate. England were heading for an early exit, while the Dutch kept alive their dreams of European glory.

16th September 1990 A fantastic sunny Sunday afternoon at Anfield for Liverpool. Manchester United were the visitors and were taken apart by Beardsley and Barnes. The former Newcastle man scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win as Kenny Dalglish’s men were irresistible. Liquid football.

16th September 1998: Champions League football on terrestrial telly, with Clive on comms. We never knew we had it so good. A thriller at Old Trafford saw Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United share six goals with future Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal’s Barcelona. On a night of high drama, which saw comebacks, penalties and a red card, David Beckham provided the game’s standout moment of quality. A trademark free-kick, delivered with aplomb. Eight months later, a fantastic season would be wrapped up in style. But we didn’t know that yet. We were just enjoying Champions League football on ITV.
