Soccernostalgia Talk Podcast-Episode 286 (1986 World Cup, 40th Anniversary special-part 1-Memories of Frequent Guests)

 This is part one of the 286th episode of the ‘Soccernostalgia Talk Podcast’.

Back in 2022, Mr. Paul Whittle and I did a special two-part podcast commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1982 World Cup, by interviewing some of our regular guests, who would have been around and lived through the World Cup.

This was not meant to be in-depth or analytical analysis of the tournament.

We just want to hear personal memories of the event and then compile everyone’s responses spread into one or two podcasts.

As this is the 40th anniversary of the 1986 World Cup, I did the same thing and interviewed some of the frequent guests and their memories of the 1986 World Cup.

At the end, myself and Mr. Paul Whittle also shared our memories.

 

For this first part, the following shared their memories of the 1986 World Cup:

Mr. Nacho Dimari (from Argentina) @ElOleg,

Mr. José Inácio Werneck (from Brazil) @WerneckInacio @brasilcopa70,

Mr. Jan Roskott (from the Netherlands) @DutchSoccerSite,

Mr. Davide Eskelund Rota (from Italy) 

Mr. Gavin Buckland (from England) @GavinBuckland1

Mr. Achim Schregle (from Germany)
