Steve Perryman is currently manager of J. League club Kashiwa Reysol and a former boss at Shimizu S-Pulse. Perryman played for England's Under-23 side and won one cap with the senior team. He also won two F.A. Cups, two League Cups and two UEFA Cups as captain of English club Tottenham Hotspur. Following are some of his memories of World Cups past.
From an England point of view, the World Cups I remember are 1966 and 1970, but from a pure footballing point of view, it's the 1978 World Cup.
In 1966, I was 14 years old and I lived maybe 10 minutes from Wembley Stadium, which I passed every day. This event happened so close to my home; it was fantastic.
