Remember it well. Watched it on the TV in the WRVS room in Sennelager. The only person there. Hardly reported the next day in the papers (obviously didn't happen).

The old fella still got his ticket and programme,
was 22 days after i was born,
he tells the story of what a great day, getting pissed wet through then sleeping on the british embassy floor
as they had nowhere to stay.

Still got dad's ticket, no programme though
None stop rain, surprised ticket even survived. It's flimsy paper

I hadn’t long turned seven years of age.
I don’t think the game was live on telly because of the Leeds v Chelsea Mixed Martial Arts FACup replay.
I think I stayed up to watch the highlights. Summerber wasn’t fit and around then Polish football was up there !!
Great win in our lucky cherry /black kit.

I was ten years old, I recall vaguely listening to it with my dad on the radio?
