There's a quite lengthy documentary on him knocking around somewhere - I will see if I can find it on youtube. I remember watching it a few years back - fascinating story, rags to stardom to rags again...

Happy days. Along with three of my friends - we were all 16 at the time - I bought a book of 10 tickets covering the games at Goodison/Old Trafford, semi-final, third-place match and final for a grand total of £3 17s 6d.
Travelled down to London on the Friday night for the final and never slept again till I got home on Sunday night.

Amazing - so you where actually there at Wembley? Great stuff!
Love the price of the block of tickets, but I suspect that was quite a bit of money back then!

I remember all the National flags draped on Goodison road and inside the Stadium and the drum beats and everyone in high spirits, the Goodison crowd were behind Hungary most probably because they were the the underdogs and chanting Albert,Albert Everytime he got on the ball, it was a truly magical experience .

It's often said that players of yesterday would struggle to cope with the pace and physicality of the modern game, I reckon if you gave those 22 players a good preseason with the modern day nutrition, boots and balls etc they'd give anyone a game, even more so now given the way the games changed in recent years compared to the 80's and 90's. A quality player is a quality player whatever era they played in.

I had just done O Levels and had a holiday job paying a basic of £9 per week - £12 if I worked plenty of overtime.
Been offered £800 for the set of ticket stubs, which I still have, but I won't part with them.
Best memory of the final is dropping the school Union Jack (which we had "borrowed" with the intention of returning it before Monday morning) from the front of the upper tier. It was picked up by a German fan who stuffed it under his jacket and ran off with it!

Yes right there mate he was called little bird,when he scored from that free kick there was silence for a split second as if no one could believe it,great memories.
It was a weeks wages for me as a first year apprentice.
Standard price for The Gwladys was 3 shillings aka 15p
Pint of Beer was approx 9p
world cup tickets were 7shillings and 6 pence, spoken as 7and 6 aka 37.5p, which was also the cost of a wedding licence, hence the bingo cry 7and 6; 76... 'was she worth it?'
*runs back to oldies thread for a woodbine and a pint of Threllies

The programme used to list all the day's matches in alphabetical order for example A - Arsenal v Villa B -Derby v Blackpool etc and at half time they used to put up the scores next to each letter......
