Mexico 1970 World Cup Socks

1930 was a historic year in football with the introduction of the FIFA World Cup™, the competition which would officially decide the best footballing nation on earth. The first tournament was hosted in Uruguay with thirteen nations and has grown ever since in size and stature to become the world’s pre-eminent sporting occasion.

Every FIFA World Cup™ occasion has brought seminal and defining moments that will linger forever in the memory of every football fan, moments like the Miracle of Berne as West Germany overcame the unbeatable Magyars in 1954, Pelé’s jaw-dropping arrival on the scene in 1958, the Geoff Hurst goal that may or may not have crossed the line in 1966, Brazil’s magnificent and decisive fourth goal in the Final of 1970, Marco Tardelli’s euphoric celebrations in 1982, and Diego Maradona’s controversial ‘Hand of God’ goal in 1986.
