1966 World Cup Final

The most complete version available of the BBC coverage of England's World Cup victory at Wembley Stadium on 30th June 1966. The well-told story shows England coming from behind to take a 2-1 lead which they held until West Germany scored in the last minute of ordinary time. The extra thirty minutes were packed with action and controversy as Geoff Hurst scored a somewhat dubious third for England, and then completed his hat-trick.

The commentary comes from Kenneth Wolstenholme who uttered the famous phrase 'They think it's all over...it is now!'
