On this Day in 1966,England won the world cup,Beating West Germany 4-2 aet,with Geoff Hurst scoring a hat-trick,i say if Greavsie had played,we would'nt have needed extra time!
 
No they weren't because it was a game of football and the media hadn't yet hijacked the game for their own ends.

Next time we meet the Germans we will need Greek officials.........................just to ensure fair play you understand.
