Hi!
My name is Joachim. I’m a Norwegian guy who is in the process of establishing an extensive website on the 1990 World Cup (www.italia1990.com).
A big part of the project is going through each and every one of the qualifying matches for that tournament, and as you will know, New Zealand played two First Round matches against Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), both on home turf, in Wellington and in Auckland respectively. These matches ended in 4-0 and 4-1 wins for you lot. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find anything about these two fixtures other than a Youtube clip showing the five goals from the second leg, a Darren McClennan hat-trick included.
I am looking for newspaper articles, information about the NZ team from late 1988 (manager, info on the players, anything), social media postings...is there anyone with historical knowledge on the NZ national team on this forum?
Sincerely
«kaltz» (Joachim Aasan)
