England World Cup 1966.

For a Christmas gift this year my parents who remember this event very well included the film in amongst my oldest son's gifts. So we watched, both sons remember only the Euro 96 near miss (failure)and the previous world cup disaster/s. The last thing they really wanted was to see a football win from a bygone age. My parents were pointing out footballers like Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton etc. to which both sons were saying 'Who?' It was meaningless to them and it occurred to me what a waste of time it was to go back there, no purpose to it at all, it will never be repeated again like that so what is the point?
