In 1966 I had to go into Hospital to sort out my busted hip. Uncle Flops strongly suggests it is not a good idea to fall over a cliff during School Field Trip. But I did.
10 hour operation.
My Mum bought me the Beatles album 'Revolver' into Hospital, not that I could play it in Hospital, but it was good to know I had it.
Four week hospital stay at age 15.
Two years later they took out the stainless steel pins and I didn't go into a Hospital again until 2002.
In 1966, I wasn't even aware we'd won the World Cup, honest, I had no idea.
Strange days indeed.
On a serious note, seems England Team, Manager and fans thought we weren't in with much of a chance.
ha ha
Good stuff
