Memories Of 1982

[Claret & Blue Army]

The new series of Ashes To Ashes got me thinking about the year it was set in and how much happened,

Falklands War
Israel attack the PLO in Lebanon bringing an end to the ceasefire
Villa become champions of Europe
The Mary Rose wreck was pulled up
Liverpool won the league
Tottenham beat QPR in a cup final replay
Italy won the world cup
Jimmy Connors won Wimbledon
Alex Higgins won the sanooker world chamionship
Grittar won the Grand National
Best seller was Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners
Christmas number one was from the Midlands with...erm Renee & Renato
Channel 4 started (Countdown was the first programme)
Rocky III was a smash hit
As was E.T.


Any others?
