    Yes, the Boys of 66 will soon be no more.

    All will be never forgotten though by those who were privileged enough to witness the achievement. I was 14 at the time.

    R.I.P George. Even though I wasn't born I will remember him as a legend of the English game.

    George Best said he was the best full back he ever plated against. Him and Ray Wilson were the ‘steady Eddies’ in the ‘66’ side. RIP George, you and your mates gave us the best experience in the game.

    I must have been at home but I can’t remember the day at all. I know I wanted Brazil to win it, then Portugal. Finally England but probably because it was Germany.

    In black and white of course. It was a revelation seeing the whole thing in colour when the film “Goal” was shown in cinemas early 1967. Can’t remember where though - ABC, Odeon?
