12RofC No.12: The First African World Cup is held in South Africa in 2010

The first of our countdown of the biggest moments, themes and events of the last ten years comes in the shape of World Cup 2010.

The boys don't let England's showing dampen their spirits though as they enthusiastically march down memory lane regaling all with their memories of the summer, including what it was like to be on the ground in Johannesburg.
