I was 13 when Terminator 2 came out and couldn’t get into the cinema to see it (didn’t stop my mates though).
The first 15 I got in to see was Boomerang, which was utter sh!te, closely followed by Patriot Games, which was better.

Arsenal did win the league and cup double in 1971, but being only one years old, I can't really include it. 
The Cup Final of 1979 was a huge event though.

Born in 1977.
Had to say when we were kids it didnt matter if you had the best most expensive trainers or a brown shell suit with pink bits in....no one cared at primary school. All the boys ever wanted to do was play football in the playground and prayed for the day they said we could play on the field.
Bryan Robson, Gary big ears, MArk Hatley and the other Mexico 86 mob.
Panini sticker albums.
skateboards that were quite wide with sandpaper at either end to help your feet stick to the board.
Commando bikes with 3 gears.
Action man, Action force toys, Star wars toys.
Wednesday night Sports night with football on TV.
Then growing up a bit more...Flowers on shirts, purple tops, flairs, centre partings, long hair, Roses, Oasis, girls, warhammer 40k, champo on the amiga holding the spacebar down to make it go faster.
Champo italia!!!

That's twice CD's have been mentioned. They were pretty much established by the end of the 80's (and available from around 1983 iirc).
I got my first CD Player in 1989 and I was a late starter.
