The World Cup Final
Surely everyone knows about this one? England v
West Germany, dodgy Russian linesman, 2-2 in normal time, Geoff
Hurst, "They think it's all over..."
The final was played before a packed Wembley with
a capacity crowd of 96,924 in attendance. The England manager Alf
Ramsey caused a sensation before kick-off, by leaving out star striker
Jimmy Greaves, despite his return from injury. Instead he kept together
the winning combination up-front of Hurst and Liverpools Roger
Hunt, Greaves was distraught.
The match kicked off and England had the worst start
imaginable, but the boys went on to clinch it. Final score 4-2 after
extra time.
Bobby Moore is climbing the famous Wembley steps
to collect the trophy from the Queen. There are unbelievable scenes
of celebration. Bobby Moore carried aloft by the team, Nobby Stiles
dances a jig with the World Cup in his hand.
