Channel 4 now -FULL 1966 WCUP FINAL-IN

looks like a half decent passing game so far, surprising as I never knew before that the pitch was as bad as it looks, as it's in colour, lots of cut up muddy patches, must have been difficult to play on.

HT-1 ALL
Style of football
Taking fouls/corners very quick
No injury time

Like a basketball game

When Hursts scores.....don't mention the VAR

This is the itv version
Very young i watched the bbc version

Ingerland lead
WOHOO

Boo
They equalized

ETIME

Gordon Banks really rushed to take that last goal kick.

Russian linesman lost his contact lenses, could be vital.

Hurst scores
3-2

FIFA appointed a Swiss referee to ensure neutrality.

Overs landed

Every time he says ball in that posh voice, it sounds like 'four', so I think he's beginning a countdown til the end of the match

Hurst hattrick

4-2

People on the pitch

Could be a replay...

Actually the man of the match was
Alan BALL

Hearing ITV's version of the final moments isn't the same, you need the 'they think it's all over, it is now' line

It's like when the show Solskjaer's 99 goal without Clyde Tyldesley commentary 'into Giggs', SHERINGHAM'and 'Solskjaer has won it'

or Martin Tyler's Agueroooooooooooo commentary, the BBC makes the goal seem so tame.

Great skill in being a great commentator.

Actually the man of the match was
Alan BALL

My favourite player when i was a little lad, think i had a deeper voice than him then

Saddest day of my little life when Harry Catterick sold him to Arsenal

The ITV commentator was good old Hugh Johns, often heard on The Big Match revisited on ITV4

The fastest the Germans ran all match was when the ref conferred with the linesman about Hurst's 2nd goal, and when he gave it they bombed over to him like no one's business.

Remember meeting Bally at a Newbury races in the 70 s
Very high pitch VOICE

Alan ball white boots were best boots I ever had.
I could play football on field to same level as in 5 a side
with them on.

I had a pair a a kid,real leather,used to have to use white leather cricket boot polish to keep them clean,evertons orange shirt,and socks and blue shorts,iconic away trip of the day

England finally win in color!

Some of the lads won't have played in boots 2 sizes too big (you'll grow into them)
with 2 pairs of thick socks, moulded soles, then trying to shoe horn them on
2 years later, after out growing them.

Happy days, when they actually fit, for 6 months or so.
