Hadley Lodge Farm, Shropshire; a building survey. Ironbridge Institute Research Paper no. The European Cup final against Liverpool at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels should have been the crowning moment of Platini's Juventus career, but was instead overshadowed by the Heysel Stadium disaster in which 39 people died, and more were injured.

It was decided to proceed with the match in order to avoid inciting any further trouble, and after both captains had appealed for calm, the match began just under an hour and a half beyond schedule, with riot police still engaged in a pitched battle with Juventus fans. Platini scored the only goal of the match from a penalty kick, which had been controversially awarded for a foul just outside the area on Zbigniew Boniek, after the Frenchman had met his run behind the defence towards goal with a long ball.

In his own defence, Platini maintained that he had not been made fully aware of the scale of the disaster. In the Intercontinental Cup final against Argentinos Juniors , Platini scored from a penalty during regulation time, also having another goal disallowed, and later assisted Michael Laudrup 's equaliser; he subsequently netted the match-winning penalty in the resulting shoot-out, and was named Man of the Match. Having first attracted the attention of national team selectors in the Coupe Gambardella tournament, Platini was selected for the French junior team, but injuries prevented him from playing.

He made his first appearance for a French national selection playing for the French amateur side on 26 September Platini began his military service in summer He was assigned to the Joinville battalion, as were all talented French sportspeople fulfilling their military obligations. His colleagues in the battalion included his Nancy teammates Olivier Rouyer and Jean-Michel Moutier, as well as Maxime Bossis , soon to become a regular in the French national team along with Platini.

Platini would turn out for the French military team, in addition to representing the French unders and the French Olympic team. He impressed in the Olympic team's 4—0 win over Romania in Brest , a result made even more impressive by the fact that Romania had fielded a full international side for the Olympic qualifier. Platini's performance made him a star in France. The away leg of the qualifying tie was a mere formality, France coming away with a 1—1 draw. Three days after the draw in Bucharest , Platini received his first call-up to the national team for what was coach Michel Hidalgo 's first game in charge, a friendly against Czechoslovakia in Paris 27 March , 2—2 , and scored his first goal with a trademark free kick.

Platini was a member of the French football team at the Summer Olympics in Montreal. Their tournament began on 19 July with a 4—0 win over Mexico. They registered another 4—0 win in their next match against Guatemala , with two goals from Platini. The French team completed the group stage with a draw against Israel, Platini scoring from a penalty. France progressed to the quarter-final stage, where they would face a full-strength East German team. France lost 4—0 and finished the match with nine men. With a 3—1 win over Bulgaria at the Parc des Princes on 16 November , a match in which Platini excelled in the role of playmaker and scored with a strike from 30 yards, France secured qualification for the World Cup in Argentina for their first appearance in the World Cup finals since In the month following the decisive qualifying match, Platini finished third in the voting for the European Footballer of the Year.

Among the international friendlies France played in preparation for the World Cup, their match against Italy in Naples on 8 February 2—2 was particularly significant for Platini. With a number of scouts from Italian clubs in attendance, he was in excellent form. He beat Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff from two direct free-kicks, the first being ruled out because the referee had not blown his whistle. The re-taken free-kick was blocked by the defensive wall, but minutes later Platini had the ball in the Italian net from another free-kick.

Zoff attempted to anticipate the flight of the ball by positioning himself on the left side of the goal, only for Platini to find the unguarded area of the net with his free-kick, leaving Zoff rooted to the spot. Platini's duels with Zoff and his performance in a match that was broadcast on Italian television made him a name in Italy.

In retrospect, this match may have been a Pyrrhic victory because Platini's brilliance drew the attention of Italy coach Enzo Bearzot , who devised a successful plan to contain him in a match-up that really mattered—the first round of the World Cup four months later. Platini was kept in check by Marco Tardelli 's implacable marking and Italy won 2—1.

In the final against Spain at the Princes Stadium in Paris , he opened the scoring with a free kick-goal, helped by a monumental blunder from Spain goalkeeper Luis Arconada. A second goal from Bruno Bellone in injury time at the end of the match secured France's first major title in international football. Suffering from groin pain and playing under injection, Platini was not in peak physical condition for the World Cup in Mexico.

The second came during the quarter-final match against Brazil in Guadalajara.

Platini was named coach of the French national side on 1 November , replacing Henri Michel , who had been forced out after France infamously drew with Cyprus 1—1 in a World Cup qualifier.
