I was 13 and remember it as the best year ever!
Euro96 was a magical time, the whole country was united. I remember where I watched every one of those games. I cried when we lost on the penalties to the Germans and everyone at school admitted they had done the same.
Olympics Atlanta 96 - great great games! I used to stay up to the early hours watching the athletics. Remember staying up until 3am for the 100m and then Christie got disqualified. Donovan Bailey won it and Michael Johnson murdered the oposition!
My team Manchester United won the double with the kids you couldn't win anything with!
Great great year!

1996, I was working in Milton Keynes for 6 weeks, and watched all the tourny there. Seems like yesterday. I was really upset the night we got eliminated, but went to Flamingo's down by the railway station and pulled a young chick, so it wasn't all that bad.
Couldn't agree more
I was 14, having the time of my life. Great year for music. Britpop at it's best. Euro 96 et al
If only I could turn back time!

Just thinking, I was 14 in 1996. Some of these kids born that year will soon be 14.

First game we drew 1-1 with the Swiss, Shearer with the opener.
Second game we beat Scotland 2-0 after they missed a penalty to equalise. What a goal from Gazza!!!
Third game we hammered the Dutch 4-1!!!!
Quarter final we were very luck to beat Spain on penalties. They had two good goals chalked off.
Semi final we took the lead through Shearer, drew 1-1 in normal time. Anderton hit the post then Gazza was an inch away from scoring, before we lost on penalties...

If she retired after Atlanta she would have gone down as an olympic legend. It was after the world champs she was caught. :(
Still has her Olympic medals though. :) :)

The only bad thing about it was that you had no idea it was going to be so special until around about 2000 when the world and music started to go to sh1t
F*ck.

Was a very special summer! As well as the football we had the arrival of the spice girls, and the imminent arrival of New Labour to look forward to...
Was dodgy times SuperShire as you'll know...the walk to the pub was the hairy bit...all the Hilltown jakeys beggin' for change..the walk back I didn't give a fk cos I was usually p!shed....
1996 was a great year, but for me personally 1976 is my fav, I was 14 the summer was hot & wall to wall sunshine everyday from april 'till the end of august, plus my first sexual experiences. Magical times when your 14.
christ superrShire..in '96 we'd go to pretty much all of the city centre pubs before ending up in the Mardi Gras or Fat Sams...
Ah sorry, thought you meant a pub on Viccy Road!
Hey Shire...what were u doing in Dundee ? Were u RAF ?
