We know England won the World Cup in 1966 and we keep seeing clips of the goals, but why can't we see the whole match? (for the benefit of those of us who weren't here in '66) Does anyone else feel "Left out" or remember the game?

The final score that day was 4 - 2 even as you say Joker smile England scored a ghost goal that nobody saw only the referee in my way of thinking 4 - 1 = 3. And 3 is 1 more than 2 so England would have still won. I am one of the lucky people who watched the match and I am sure like a lot of those answering you can get either a VIDEO or DVD with the game on. Sorry I got side -tracked it just bugs me when people go on about that goal.

We scored the most goals of course!!
Silliness aside, I believe it was quite exciting with goals having their validity questioned and so on - I am sure if you search around you can find a vid or DVD of the match so you can enjoy the whole thing in peace. I know there is a BBC DVD called simply 'The World Cup Final, 1966, England V West Germany'

After 12 minutes 32 seconds Helmut Haller score. In minute 18 the score was levelled by Charles Hurst (Geoff Hurst). Martin Peters put England in the lead in the 78th minute
The referee awarded a free kick to West Germany with one minute left. The ball was launched goalward and Wolfgang Weber managed to poke it across the line
With the score level at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes, the game went to extra time. In minute 101 and 120 Hurst score. This made Geoff Hurst the only player ever to have scored three times in a World Cup Final. An England won the cup 4 to 2.

Which states contains the most complete version of the match from the bbc archive.

simple. England scored 4, the Germans 2... self explanatory really when you read the scoreline.
