In 1998, Richard Connelly took a job in France just so he could be there for the World Cup.

An ardent collector, Richard collected a heap of memorabilia from his trip including assorted commemorative T-shirts, a scarf and a special edition of L'Equipe celebrating the famous French win over Brazil in the final.

But the items that Richard cherishes the most are the tickets for all the matches he attended - 26 games in 18 days.

Have a look at him as he shows off the tickets and recalls the feelings about some of the games.
