1966

1966 was a bad year for me, my first marriage, then the world cup.

I try to forget them but it's futile, i keep getting reminded of both.:smirk:

I was just too young (5 years old) but grew up with the knowledge that England were World Champions at football! I adopted Bobby Moore as my hero.

I remember 1970 vividly. Spent that that summer playing endlessly with jumpers for goal posts (!) on our local green. Fantastic game vs Brazil - Hurst, Moore, Banks, Pele, Jairzinho, Rivellino, etc. I cried when we lost the quarter final to West Germany.

I was 8 and we watched it at home. When it was done me & my brother went into the garden to re-enact the goals. As is the way of the world, me being the little brother, l had to be the German goalkeeper.
