FIFA 2018 : Barring its sole triumph at home in 1966, England hadn’t done much at the World Cup. And by 1990, the national game was in deep trouble.
Hooliganism, falling attendances and ramshackle stadiums had brought English football to new lows.
Arguably, it was the team’s performance at the World Cup in Italy – and the tears of a 23-year-old midfielder from Newcastle in particular – that reignited the country’s love affair with the game.
Paul Gascoigne, widely known as Gazza, had made a late run into England’s starting line-up for the World Cup but he ended up playing a central role in the team’s advancement to the semifinals. Following lackluster performances in the group stage, England beat Belgium in the round of 16 and then saw off the thrilling challenge of Cameroon in the quarterfinals to set up an encounter against long-time rival West Germany.
It’s an epochal match in English soccer history that confirmed that the game’s popularity did not just reside among the ranks of the working class. It even spawned a popular stage play called “An Evening with Gary Lineker.”
