This is one of my favourite football stamps of all time. Captures beautifully the iconic moment when Dino Zoff lifted the 1982 World Cup following Italy’s 3-1 win over West Germany in the final.  footballphilately: Italia Campione Del Mondo Di Calcio 1982 More Italian football stamps

A Postcard Home - World Cup Souvenir 1966

Argentina v Switzerland Group 2 First Round game held on 19th July 1966 at Hillsborough, Sheffield.

Argentina won 2-0 courtesy of second half goals from Luis Artime, who with 24 goals from 25 appearances is one of Argentina’s most prolific international goalscorers and Ermindo Onega. Argentina finished second in Group 2 and went on to meet England in the quarter-finals to whom they lost 1-0 at Wembley.

Switzerland finished bottom of Group 2 with the worst playing record of any of the sixteen participating nations. They lost all three group games scoring only one goal and conceding nine.

The last time the Blades won anything of note was the Division 4 title back in 1982. This led to the rather rare occurrence of a Sheffield Utd player holding aloft a trophy! Further reading: Sheffield United: A Philatelic Journey

“We’ll really shake them up when we win the World Cup”  Scotland depart for the 1978 World Cup finals. Scottish manager at the time Ally McCoist McLeod when asked what he would do after the World Cup replied, “retain it”. Royal Mail even had a special stamp ready to celebrate a Scottish victory - Scotland World Cup Winners 1978 .. EDIT 01/02/12 : Of course the Scotland manager at the time was Ally McLeod NOT Ally McCoist. Thanks for the correction folks, glad to see you’re on the ball! ;-)
