  • Pointless

  • Fascinating!

    I remember the ‘66 win and Gordon Banks’ skills , but never was a football fan so forgotten the following World Cup problems -strangely this added to an enjoyable listen! A good story well told.

  • Conspiracy??

    Brilliant podcast. A lot of conjecture and fine stories, expertly told but ….

    Sounds like Gordon Banks and Bobby Moore had a piss up in there room days before match (like all working class lads would).
