EURO time tunnel: 1988 in focus

In the build-up to UEFA EURO 2016, UEFA.com is trawling through the annals to pick out the best stories, characters, goals and highlights from the 14 previous final tournaments.

What to watch out for this week

• Watch highlights of the Netherlands' win, including Marco van Basten's famous volley
• Recall one of the biggest shocks in EURO history, Republic of Ireland's defeat of England
• Watch ten of the best goals scored in the tournament
• We look at EURO's golden oldies in tribute to Arnold Mühren, a winner in 1988 aged 37
• Watch five of the best volleys in EURO history – do any compete with Van Basten's?

1988 HISTORY SECTION

Each week is devoted to a different tournament, with the next seven days looking back at the 1988 edition in West Germany. We are following a broadly similar pattern each week, opening up with the team of the tournament on a Monday. On Tuesdays we will look at a particularly significant image and ponder where the protagonists are now, while Wednesdays will be your chance to watch the best goals from that year's tournament.

Every Thursday we will hear from our 'EURO history makers', with Friday dedicated to a different record or milestone each week. The weekend will begin with a study of one of the quirkier characters or tales – our EURO cult heroes – and the week will come to a close with video highlights of that year's final.

In addition to all that, there will be a raft of further individual match highlights and, starting at the end of this month, a weekly poll on Twitter asking you to choose which game you want to watch again.
