Football's Coming Home: How England Won The 1966 World Cup | Part One | It Was What It Was

تفصیل

This week on The Overlap, Rob Draper and Jonathan Wilson begin a four-part series revisiting England’s 1966 World Cup win. Part one focuses on Sir Alf Ramsey’s background - and the conservative England setup he inherited, including the FA selection committee and a poor early World Cup record. We'll look at how a trip to Brazil in 1964 helped to change things for Ramsey - and we'll see the emergence of his core players - who would go on to become England legends.If you want more, subscribe to It Was What It Was.
