World Cup – memorable moments since 1966. Win this fantastic framed montage, signed by Colossus Bets brand ambassador Michael Owen, with iconic images from World Cups since 1966.\u00a0 Simply retweet \u00a0Michael\u2019s tweet<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on Twitter<\/a> to be eligible. Michael will choose a winner at random next Sunday and the winner will be announced on Monday 26th<\/sup> May!<\/p>\n

Below is a little background on the iconic images in the montage:<\/p>\n

1: Maradona\u2019s \u2018Hand of God\u2019 v England, Mexico 1986: this was a match (and a tournament) dominated by the brilliance of Diego Maradona, but in this moment he became a villain to England fans.<\/p>\n

2: Laurent Blanc and Fabien Barthez, France 1998: \u00a0kissing the bald head of flamboyant keeper Barthez became something of a ritual for French players in the 1998 tournament \u2013 a ritual which did them no harm as they went on to lift the trophy.<\/p>\n

3: Mario Kempes\u2019 goal celebration, Argentina 1978: the opening goal of the 1978 Final, as Kempes charges through the ticker tape which littered the Dutch goalmouth. Kempes scored again in extra-time as the host team ran out 3-1 winners.<\/p>\n

4: Roger Milla\u2019s goal celebration, Italy 1990: one of the most memorable sights from this World Cup was Roger Milla\u2019s \u2018dance with the corner flag\u2019 goal celebrations. Milla scored 4 times in the tournament and Cameroon progressed to the Quarter-Final stage before being eliminated by England, courtesy of an extra-time penalty by Gary Lineker.<\/p>\n

5: Gazza\u2019s tears, Italy 1990: the moment that Paul Gascoigne realised a Semi-Final yellow card against West Germany would mean he was going to miss the Final should England make it through. Had he known at the time it was the 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> place play-off he was going to miss, he might not have been so emotional.<\/p>\n

6: Marco Tardelli\u2019s goal celebration, Spain 1982: a truly iconic goal celebration, the passion and emotion clear in Tardelli\u2019s face as he wheels away from the goal that gave Italy a decisive 2-0 lead against West Germany in the 1982 Final.<\/p>\n

7: Pat Bonner\u2019s deciding penalty shoot-out save v Romania, Italy 1990: this was the crucial penalty save in the shoot-out, which was followed by David O\u2019Leary\u2019s converted spot-kick to send Ireland into a Quarter-Final against the hosts, on Ireland\u2019s first appearance at a World Cup.<\/p>\n

8: Pele\u2019s goal celebration, Mexico 1970: the legendary Pele celebrates Brazil\u2019s 100th<\/sup> World Cup goal and the opening goal of a Final in which Brazil comfortably defeated Italy 4-1.<\/p>\n

9: Archie Gemmill\u2019s goal celebration v Holland, Argentina 1978: Gemmill celebrates his brilliant individual goal in a 3-2 group match victory against the mighty Dutch side, but it wasn\u2019t enough to send Scotland through to the Second Round.<\/p>\n

10: Bobby Moore lifts the World Cup trophy, England 1966: the England captain is held aloft by his players as he raises the trophy on the Wembley turf in 1966.<\/p>\n

11: Michael Owen about to score v Argentina, France 1998: the moment that the 18 year old England striker burst onto the scene, using his searing pace to leave two Argentine defenders for dead to put England 2-1 in front. It wasn\u2019t to be enough though, as Argentina went through to the Quarter-Finals after a penalty shoot-out win.<\/p>\n
