Thank you for the information. Been a few games between Rangers and Arsenal over the years. I went to one at Highbury years ago. Think it was a testimonial for Ian Wright. Will need to check.

 

Trevor Francis taking on Marius Trevor, during the England v France game in San Mamés. World Cup Spain 1982. A late afternoon kick off. I remember our secondary school had its annual school play on that week and so our school finished at 2.40, enabling me to watch these games. Amazing what football trivia I remember from back then…😀

Those teams marked with an ** were relegated at the end of the season. For most teams the biggest attendance was against Dirty Leeds. Possibly because everyone hates Leeds!

 Brazil celebrate a goal v Italy in that 1982 World Cup game v Italy.

A draw would have put them through into the semi-final.
