1982. The Game The kick off was 4-15.pm, we finished school at 4-00.pm, I had fifteen minutes to race home, so I didn't miss a second. It was close, running like a lunatic across Broadhurst Fields, past the cemetery, down Moston lane, Rosslyn Road, up the garden path, I made it! Brazil and Italy, a shootout in the searing, Barcelona, late, afternoon. Tea could wait, and homework! The magical colours almost blinding through the television screen. Yellow, gold and blue. The greatest game I have ever seen in my life began. One littered with moments of genius, heroes and villains, tears, and sheer, unmitigated, passion and emotion. Paolo Rossi's hat trick. The stuff of footballing wonder. A tale of biblical proportions. Of redemption, Italy's joy, and Brazil. A team of heart's broken. Thirty nine years ago...RIP Paolo.
