FOR YOUR INFO

- Brazil spoiled Pat Jennings' 41st birthday by beating Northern Ireland, but Michel Platini helped France eliminate the Seleção on his 31st birthday.
- An England substitution in their game against Morocco presented commentators with a problem - it left them with two Gary Stevens' on the pitch!
- After scoring nine minutes from time in the 1982 Final, Italy forward Alessandro Altobelli bagged the opening goal of Mexico 86 against Bulgaria.
