1966 and All That...

A tribute to the repressed but impressive Alf Ramsey with some nice footage of the final. It still sends a tingle down my spine after all this time. I was 12 at the time.

My FIL (deceased) and his brother both went to the final.

Hve a vague memory of the World Cup on television... we had a small set and the vertical hold had gone on it.... you got used to the rolling picture...

Went to a Building Federation Dinner where Geoff Hurst was the main speaker.... I fell asleep.

66 was a fantastic year for English football

Cantona was born.

"...Some people are on the pitch. They think it's all over. It is now!"

Pure, classic commentary.

8 years old at the time. Remember a load of us replaying the match all over again straight after. Bit of a shock in 1970 when we lost to them in the quarter final.
