Is it getting any fuel, check the fuel lines and filter. It could also be damp in there, clean the HT leads and spay some water dispersant.

When I pulled my golf gti out of storage no matter how many times I turned it over it just wouldnt fire, the only way I could get it to start in the end was to bump start it, a few mates have had the same problem too.

As Tian said though, try cleaning up any connections first, has anything been adjusted/played with whilst it was standing, such as the dizzy etc?
