1966 World Cup Final
built 392 days ago
The 1966 World Cup Final programme was printed up in two stages. The outer section of the programme was printed first, before the final took place. Once the finalists were known, the inner section was printed. The inner section consists of details of the finalists and previous results in the tournament. Because the programme was printed in two sections there is a slight discrepancy in paper quality and appearance. If you pinch the programme edge between your fingers and look at the pages sideways on, you will notice that the pages of the central section of the programme are slightly darker than the outer pages.

Famous for his toothless grin and victory dance in the 1966 England World Cup victory, Nobby Stiles was known as one of the "Hard men" that were commonplace in the 1960's and 70's. An enthusiastic half-back he was extremely popular with United and England fans alike, renowned for his hard, tough tackling, expert skills at spotting potential danger and man marking.

The actor, writer and football fan Colin Welland missed the 1966 World Cup final because he was on stage in a matinee at the Royal Court. Welland would do well to get down to the Battersea Arts Centre, where the latest in that bold theatre's series of Christmas shows elevates the famous match to the level of the epic, in the mode of earlier BAC offerings Ben-Hur and Jason and the Argonauts.
