I remember being interviewed on Gloria Honeyford at a programme on Radio Ulster at the time called A Taste of Honey.
And she called...
Yeah, it was very popular.
It could have been about anything.
But she called me because I was the local boy who was now in Argentina at the World Cup.
And it was a big deal back then to have somebody local at the World Cup.
I mean, Northern Ireland's 1958 had been a long time ago.
And she was calling me up to see a little bit of flavour of what life was like in the foothills of the Andes in Mendoza, where I was.
Because nobody had ever heard of Mendoza then, though they know all about it now because of the wine.
But I remember a phrase I used to her when she was asking me how it looked.
It all seemed to me remarkably normal.
There's no having to open your shopping bag when you're going into a department store or anything like that.
It was all just, there were lots of police about, but you'd expect that at a big major sporting event.
It's the same anywhere.
It would have been around the turn of the year.
Okay.
There was plenty of time, but I was overwhelmed at the thought of it.
And at the time, no internet.
I had my full set of Rothman's football yearbooks, which was the bad to make them for people like me.
And it had to be carried with you as like a traveling library.
