On This Day: 14 May 1966

[Eggs]

Going to test you now eggs ,what was the name of the Sheffield Wednesday fan interviewed before the final on the record?

….got me on that one, I remember Athole Still doing much of the commentary (I think he was later involved in Guinness Book of Records. Couple of lines always stood out for me;

‘Temple scores the winner, least I expect it’s the winner’

‘…and he’s lost his jacket, he’s lost his jacket’.

 

[coollino]

I was at that game and I sat next to a certain ginger fella called 'Ball'

 

[RufusCat]

Missed it ... I was only 17 days old, mind.

Excuses, excuses

 

[Furey1878]

What a time, what a sensational kit and what a fella who runs on the pitch!

My dad and his mate only had one ticket they both went down outside Wembley
They tossed a coin , dad lost but he did get in last 10 mins or so
& seen Princess Margaret present the cup to labby, he loved telling that story

My Farther had a very bad drink problem which finally killed him he left after 2nd goal went in and missed the come back

 

[Jokerdan]

What a time, what a sensational kit and what a fella who runs on the pitch!

Always said they should create a statue of Eddie Kavanagh getting stripped of his jacket at BMD. Laugh at ourselves but also show the passion of what it is to be a Blue

 

[PSB1]

Great day. Great era.

 

[Mrtallywacker]

My old fella was there,wish I'd been but I was only 11 months old sat on my mum's knee at home in Maghull

I was still a glint in the milkman's eye my son.

God bless.

[T LEAFE]

But she said im 64 today not 60
Yes i know I said but 60 years ago I was at Wembley for one of the best comebacks ever..
Happy birthday Dear

 

[EcclesEFC]

Watched this match on TV with my dad. The air was certainly blue when we went 2-0 down. This was the start of my love for Everton.

 

[Toffeepot]

And sixty years before that 1906 we beat Newcastle in the final

Remember it well
