How well can you remember the year 1998? (Image credit: Future)

We're approaching the late 90s in our November theme of yearly quizzes.

1998 in the footballing world was special for so many reasons, wasn't it? Paul Gascoigne's omission from the England World Cup squad. France's superiority. Real Madrid even won more silverware. Shock.

To help mark the occasion, we here at FourFourTwo have put together another sly little trivia test to see how well you can remember 1998, as a little gesture to help us celebrate our 30th anniversary in style.
