    [Highly rated reviewer]

    my 12 year old son joseph loved this dvd. it starts on the 30th july 1966 on world cup final day, when England's Bobby Moore and West Germany's Uwe Seeler led their teams out onto the Wembley turf before an expectant crowd of 94,000. What Followed is part of footballing legend.

    well worth watching

    By comparison with modern rugby the skills shown were rubbish. Even the famous end to end try shows more about the lacklustre defence than it does about the brilliance of the attack! That said, this is wonderful. A look back at the great, gentlemanly days of amateur rugby in which the game was played with enthusiasm and a will to win, when scoring a try yourself was more important than stopping your opponent from doing so. Lovely stuff.

    Memorable match. Fantastic performance from all all home nations represented. Gareth Edwards try is still the greatest ever scored in an international match. Interesting to compare current rules and tactics to those of yesteryear.

    my 12 year old son Joseph really enjoyed this dvd. With the game being shown in its original black and white form and the original commentary, it really does let you feel what it must have been like, to be a part of English football's greatest ever moment ,and one that true football fans will want to watch again and again.

    The audio commentary is amazing, as Jack Charlton amongst others, explain what was happening during the match, and their experiences of it.

    The documentary gives some good insight ,into the 1966 World Cup, and the interviews, with the late Kenneth Wolstenholme and Bobby Moore's wife, are very interesting.

    well worth renting out.
