That England won the World Cup. Blimey that went quickly !

I can remember watching it in glorious black & white, as a boy, Then a few of us went to the local park to replay the game, with jumpers for goalposts !

There's a special programme on BBC 2 tomorrow, commemorating the event.

i remember it well,they think its all over,it is now.

ALAN BALL man of the match.

we didnt go to the park after,it was down the pub 6pm.opening time.

Germany believed if they marked Sir Bobby out of the game by putting Beckenbauer on him they would win..................ooh no they didn,t.

as a 17 year old apprentice at the time it was delightful to go into work and tell the "old doubting codgers" who believed England had no chance of winning after the miserable first round draw against Uruguay.....I told you so.

Now in the "old codger" status myself............never mind..........at least I,ve made it

World Cup Willie nougat!

Pickles the Dog. Our hero.
