    Is it available to watch in full anywhere? Just been thinking that I've never seen it and would like to.

    Thanks.

    I've got it on DVD. I watched it on TV in 1966 as a 9 year old and was thrilled to bits. Watching it later in life I was stunned as to how poor the two sides, and the quality of football, were. In fact, the nearest equivalent I can think of would be watching Barnsley vs Barnsley this season. I kid you not.

    Yeah, me too. I bought the DVD expecting a fantastic game of footy with England also winning the World Cup. I too was disappointed with the overall quality for two apparent decent teams and especially for a W.C final..

    Yup. I bought it on video, about 25 years ago, I think it's the colour version though not sure. It bored me daft. It was a struggle to watch it once, never went back to it.

    To be honest I was actually the same with the 1970 Brazil final, I never saw the original due to been nothing but bairn but seen loads of clips and always raved about it but many years later I got to watch it and found myself bored rigid,
