Anyway, they went pretty quiet apparently during the first couple of games because I didn't score.
And then I scored a hat-trick and then I got two more against Paraguay.
And then it happened.
So, you know, suddenly score a hat-trick, things changed, top score in the World Cup and then I'm in Barcelona.
I think prior probably to the last World Cup final, I think it's, and it still might be, I think it's the most famous game in history, in football history, because of all the circumstances, post-World Cup.
They call it Las Malvinas.
Well, I mean, they always denied it as footballers.
I saw them do press conferences.
But genuinely amongst our, all I can talk about is our team and we never really.
And Bobby Robson was saying, you'll probably get asked questions in press conferences, just dead bat them.
Really?
All we're concentrating on is the World Cup.
But we were aware of it.
Of course we were.
It was so recent.
And then what happened in the match itself?
You then had probably the most controversial goal ever scored when Maradona punches it in.
And then probably the best goal that's ever been scored.
So to have those two things just a few minutes apart in the same match and then we came back a bit and John Barnes came on, knocked it across and I got us back in it and then I nearly scored at the end.
Yeah.
