Back in 1998, at the the World Cup in France I still have vivid memories of the Michael Owen goal against Argentina, the Beckham sending off, the Roberto Baggio penalty against Chile, the Blanco bunny hop & the ghost Ronaldo in the final. One player who really caught my eye was Hidetoshi Nakata, a Japanese […]
