Yes it was 47 years ago today that we won The Jules Rimet Cup.
I watched the final in a boarding house just off The Golden Mile, Blackpool.
Where were you July 30th 1966?

I was only 14 , I don't think I would be doing much. Most likely in the front room playing Beatle records ,and swooning over John Lennon .

Missed most of the 1st: half, attending a shop fire on the
Soho Rd,Handsworth. Got back just before half time and
watched the 2nd: at the station.

I was at boarding school and the school bought a TV specifically to let the boys watch the World Cup.

Too young to remember, but was told that as we had the only tv in the street there were lost of people around.
