Were you at Italia '90? Send us your World Cup memories

Gazza was England's star of Italia '90

Twenty-five years ago England reached the FIFA World Cup semi-final – their first on foreign soil.

Ahead of Saturday's anniversary of that memorable night in Turin, we are asking fans to share with us their memories of Italia '90. 

England 1-1 West Germany

(AET: West Germany won 4-3 on penalties)
1990 FIFA World Cup Semi-Final
Wednesday 4 July 1990
Stadio delle Alpi, Turin, Italy

Despite the Three Lions' shootout defeat by West Germany, it was an iconic tournament that really captured the imagination of fans at home and abroad.  

From Wright's flick-on against Egypt to Platty's winning volley against Belgium, Lineker's pair of penalties past Cameroon and Gazza's tears in the semi-final – the World Cup in Italy will always be remembered.

Fans who Follow England Away always come back with a tale to tell, and the biggest football tournament on the planet is no exception.

Did you head out to Italy to support Bobby Robson's men in the summer of 1990? Were you there that night in Turin 25 years ago?
