Sadly Luciano Pavarotti, the larger than life tenor passed away this week. Now I’m not claiming to be an opera fan, but I am a fan of Nessun Dorma, the song the BBC used as the theme tune for the 1990 World Cup. For anyone born around the late 70s early 80s, Italia 90 is probably the first World Cup you can vividly remember and to be honest I don’t think there has been a better one since.
So in dedication to Luciano and all England fans whose hearts were broken by the Germans in 1990, here’s a reminder.
The legend’s Nessun Dorma
