The 1966-67 British Home Championship was the first since England's victory at the World Cup 1966. Naturally, England were favourites for the Championship title.

In the end, the outcome of the entire Championship rested on the final game:

England v Scotland at Wembley Stadium in London on 15 April.

If England won or drew, they would win the Championship;

if Scotland won, they would triumph.

Scotland beat the World Cup winners 3-2.

The match was followed by a large, but relatively harmless,

pitch invasion by the jubilant Scottish fans,

who were quick to jokingly declare Scotland the 'World Champions',



as the game was England's first defeat since winning the World Cup.

Many of the World Cup Matches were played in Sheffield which meant the pubs there had licensing hours extended till 11.30pm for 3 weeks so we drove to Sheffield for nights out every night for 3 weeks (no breathaliser then but I didnt drive anyway)



Black is Black by Los Bravos was the number 1 record at the time. (Would that title be allowed now?)



The Beach Boys 'God Only Knows' was the best record of 1966.



I was 18 in 1966 but in those days the age of majority was 21 so I had another 3 years to wait until I could vote, or buy a house, but I wasn't too young to join the army and maybe lose my life!



1966 was 'D' reg for new cars.



Britain had a Labour government in 1966



Television was in black and white and there were 2 channels.



Mainstream radio gave the choice of the Home Service, the Light Programme, and the Third Programme. If you wanted pop music you had to find a pirate radio channel or wait until Radio Luxembourg started at 7pm!

Gawd Chegs you are worse than a lemon squeezer,

Surely there are some more generous people who read this board, or do they prefer to keep their mitts in their pockets ??,

hows about some of the businesses that are not struggling stepping up to the mark, it is for charity after all

£220 raised so far

Bidding now closed Chegwin wins with bid of £110 matched by Mr Greg Keenan so a total of £220 raised.



Thank you both gentlemen I will be in touch, and will even make the trip to Esentepe to meet you both.
