Fifty years ago today I
watched on TV as England won the FIFA World Cup final, and to commemorate that
event BBC Radio 2 broadcast a show “World Cup 66: Minute by Minute” to cover
the period, 2:50 to 4:30, that the game lasted incorporating both events in the
stadium and around the country, as weddings, bus journeys, even putting out a
fire played second fiddle to events at Wembley; I missed the transmission but
stumbled over a televised version on the red button late tonight and was
enthralled, even moved, by the recollections, testimonies, footage, interspersed
by live performances of music of the day.
