Cohen and Wilson I’m guessing must have been about the oldest of the 1966 team ? The reason I say that is my football memories seem to start around 1970, and these are the only two players I don’t remember. Had they retired by then?
George Cohen was one of the younger players at 26, but he retired through injury in 1969 when 29. Ray Wilson and Jack Charlton were the only two of the final team in their 30s, though Ron Springett, Jimmy Armfield and Ron Flowers from the squad were all 30 or 31.Quote:

Interestingly seven of the German team are still alive.
One of those who passed on scored against City at Ninian Park. I wuz there.Quote:

Having seen the recording of the 1966 World Cup about a year ago, I had forgotten that substitutes weren't allowed and players were running around suffering with cramp in extra time.
So was I. A heartbreaking night . My dad was going to take me to the final had City got through. What a trip that would have been.Quote:
