    Born in 71. First one I remember watching was 78 with my buckled dad and my equally buckled uncle. Best one for me was Italia90. I was 19 and just loved everything about that tournament. I went to France 98 and that was a great experience. I would recommend anybody who hasn't been to a World Cup to try and go at least once. You won't regret it.

    Assuming I don't pass on before next week, then 2014 will be my ninth.

    The first one I remember was Italia '90. I thought it was great. I had the Esso coin collection and a Coca-Cola mini fitba. I was disappointed when Scotland lost to Costa Rica; I didn't even know where that was. In fact, I still don't.

    I've never been to any World Cups. I'll probably be in my nineties next time Scotland qualify.
