If your recollection of the 81/82 qualification campaign is touch blurry, then its well worth getting a copy of Spanish Odyssey. Lots of goals (maybe even all of them), action from Mt Smart to Australia to the Middle East to China and Singapore, as well as interviews with the players and coaching staff.

"Lots of goals (maybe even all of them)"
 
No, there's quite a few missing, especially from the 2 Fiji matches, Taiwan/Chinese Taipei & Indonesia.  The other WC '82 DVD (forgotten the name, the one Finisher's selling) has more of the goals, but that also is missing a few:  All 4 in the away game v. Fiji & one of the 13 in the home game v. Fiji, if I remember correctly.
 
Spanish Odyssey has some good interviews, especially with Grant Turner, whose hair seems to have reversed the aging process by getting darker over time, instead of lighter.

Grant Turner's goal against Aussie.  The most powerful header I've seen.

Ahhh, Josh Ken and Timmy C have plenty of better headers, go and youtube them!!!

All jokes aside, I think there was a dressing room revolt in the Skip's dressing room after the SCG gane in 1981.

Fallon's header for you guys last year had some meat on it I thought.

Better go.
