The great story piece was exactly what you saw at the time. Guy that never should have been there played well, scored some nice goals and the players rallied around him as he ended up MVP. People loved it. A multitude of stories were written on it. It was a feel good piece in an otherwise light hearted and normally boring event.
I can see missing all of that suffering from cranky old man syndrome, but it made for a great story to the majority of people at the time.

Funny thing is that you have to be arguably the crankiest poster on this site.
