I watched the last 20 mins of that game in the Magdela(the one with the atmosphere, not the current reincarnation).


I was so disinterested I was at B&Q but when I heard West Ham were winning I convinced my wife I could nip out for a pint and watch the last 20 mins. It was absolutley jammed in there that day and I had not thought there were so many West Ham fans in ED, they easily outnumbered the Liverpool fans, and when Gerrard scored it was like someone had died.

There was something special for me about the 70 WC. I remember England v Brazil was on my birthday. I remember England being 2 up and somehow losing with everyone blaming Bonetti. The Kaiser ended up playing with his arm in a sling I think. Most of all I remember the brilliance of Brazil.
1970 was a tough one for me too. We'd been to my eldest sister's for tea and were going to watch the game there. But I wanted to be able to concentrate on the game without all that family chatter in the background so walked back and watched the game alone and ultimately in disbelief. I actually believed in the England team in those days and when they sang "Back Home" it meant something. I need my faith restoring tomorrow.

the England or West Ham one? Both were, for me, truly gutting!


I honestly hardly bought a drink in Cardiff that night, we were staying down there and went out with a brave face and scousers were practically queing up to buy us drinks.

This is probably the first game I can remember watching on TV with total recall...I was sitting on the arm of 'Dad's chair', which straight away meant it was an important occasion...I also remember going out to the park with my mates and trying to replicate Muller's sidekick winning goal, somehow I don't think I'll be doing that if England let another 2 goal lead slip!

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
