Don't actually remember much about the 1970 World Cup only what I've watched since, I seem to remember the games were being shown at odd hours so I was probably at school or in bed?
Looking at the footage shown it seemed to be one of the greatest tournaments, where England went into it with probably their best team ever but as you know goalie Gordon Banks mysteriously went down with illness just before the quarter final with West Germany and Peter "the cat" Bonetti was drafted in, I assume he was called the cat because he was asleep most of the time.
Actually I do remember some of that match when my dad was saying that he couldn't understand why Bobby Charlton was substituted when we were winning.
