No, but there is a book which has one

Don't know why I'm hyping it, as I had nothing to do with it, but yeah. Buy it and such

It's called "Gazza Misses The Final"

1970 had some cracking games I must say

1954 and 1958 sound like they were really good as well, but there's sadly not as much footage of those

Shame England bottled the Quarter Final with Germany, or we might have seen it again

Brazil Vs England is what everyone at the time expected the final to be mate

This was a big deal when it happened

It would be like Spain and Germany drawing each other in the group stages this year

They didn't bottle it. Even without the worlds greatest keeper , England bossed the match. The mistake, and it was a big mistake, was taking Bobby Charlton off..........
