47 years of hurt.....

[Banging_Them_In]

....and I'm only 45.

Yes 47 years ago today, England won the World Cup !


RIP Bobby Moore

"My captain, my leader, my right-hand man. He was the spirit and the heartbeat of the team. A cool, calculating footballer I could trust with my life. He was the supreme professional, the best I ever worked with. Without him England would never have won the World Cup." Alf Ramsey
"He was my friend as well as the greatest defender I ever played against. The world has lost one of its greatest football players and an honourable gentleman." Pelé
"Bobby Moore was a real gentleman and a true friend." Franz Beckenbauer
"Moore was the best defender I have ever seen." Sir Alex Ferguson
"Bobby Moore was the best defender in the history of the game" Franz Beckenbauer
"There should be a law against him. He knows what's happening 20 minutes before everyone else." Jock Stein
"Ask me to talk about Bobby Moore the footballer and I will talk for days. Ask me about the man and I will dry up in a minute." Ron Greenwood

Surely it should be 43 years of hurt, as we'd have been reigning champions for the first 4 years?!
