World Cup Rematch England 1 0 Argentina The 1966 Battle

And if we could have a look at the team and for those who haven't heard Nobby Styles is in and the two new men are Hurst number 10 coming in for the injured Greaves and Ball number seven coming in for Callaghan. Roger Hunt the top scorer in the World Cup so far, Hunt 21. There's the Argentinian side and there's the team and you'll notice number 12 Albrecht is back in the team after his one-match suspension. Onega number 20 is a man we have to watch. There's number 16 Gonzalez one of the midfield players and the gaily bedecked crowd. Hats in the England colours, summer frocks, shirt sleeves. Bobby Charlton going to take the corner for Italy. Argentinians didn't like it and Jackie Charlton doing a spot of nudging on Rattin before he moved in. There's Jackie Charlton. Argentina were runners-up in the very first World Cup in 1930 since when they have done absolutely nothing in the World Cup, never been beyond the eighth final since 1930. Rattin. Onega. Well you'd think it was a cricket crowd wouldn't you? Just play it and then move to get into space. For a moment Banks had come too far out for that one to be very deceptive from up here. Gonzalez to Marcellini. I knew that one was coming well he probably is very sorry now to realize the referee probably speaks Spanish and knows what he meant. Onega. Explain that burst of applause and cheering nothing to do with this. Three kick two in. Bobby Stiles, the man's father and Jack Charlton. The split second chances you must take against a team like Argentina. Did he get a shot in? He was tripped. And Rattin, Rattin has been threatened with sending off. He's Bobby Charlton. I don't know whether the referee is going to report them all or whether he's writing a book on the World Cup but I think it's about four he's got in his notebook now. That's out of play for a throw to Argentina. He had his name taken two minutes ago committed that foul but it's just a free kick to England. Rattin Moore. Dicing with death. He's arguing with the referee. And another one going in the book. He'll fill a library before he's finished. I think the best thing for Mr. Kreitlein to do is to buy an official program. He's got the ball in that. And Rattin is off. Jimmy Hill is now taking off his tie. He thinks he might have to go off and play England for the rest of the match. He's sent off and there are so many of them have run off now I don't know whether we're going to have any more football. Rattin is now the only one on the field. Harry Cavan the FIFA commissar has now come down to try and sort this mess out. Alf Ramsey is just coming on to send some orders to his team. Oh he's pulling Harold Shepperton and Alan Bass the doctor away. Well they don't get this at Coventry City do they Jim? Well as a matter of fact an Argentine team did once play a match at Coventry City which ended at half time because they walked off under similar circumstances. And remember Arthur Ellis that was it wasn't it? Arthur Ellis was the referee. But officially the referee is in a difficult position here. He has without doubt sent Rattin from the field and he must abide by that decision. So having made it we can't restart the game with 11 Argentinians. They're taking a stand and saying well if we can't start with 11 we're not going to start with 10. So it's a very nasty situation indeed. I think it's pretty clear that he must have been sent off for violence of the tongue which is a an Argentina equivalent of an Anglo-Saxon word. Because when he committed the foul before he was sent off there was a look of horror on his face as if he thought the referee was going to send him off at that moment. But I don't really think any of the Argentinians thought that they would be sent off for violence of the tongue. I think they're used to getting away with a fair amount of this in South America and it's horrified them to think that this has happened. But the laws of the game are clear. Violence of the tongue is an offence for which a man can be sent from the field. That's Rattin. Oh and now Mr Aston. Mr Aston knows all about South Americans because he was a referee in that rather explosive match in Chile. And there's Rattin I think is off. Coach is now trying to come on. And I bet the referee's forgotten what had happened. And away we go. Eight minutes of a hold-up we've had. Oh and that was a bad thought. They were going to have a go at Jeff Hurst. And the whistle goes for half time. And no score. Remember not a goal scored against them. And Hurst, the man who put in that great shot. Best shot of the match so far. Came in, he's down. And Argent, the goalkeeper's down. There's Alvarez. Oh that hurt me. Don't know about him. 21 is Hunt. Wilson coming on his left. Gonzalez. Onega. You see how dangerous Argentina can be. That's Artime, the man they call the film star. Luis Artime of River Plate, a man who's their top goal scorer. Argentina's top goal scorer in this competition. And now here's Mass. He's pushing any instructions onto the field. Whether to say to his team, put extra men up and make an attempt to get that goal, which may be just what the Argentines want. They want England to commit themselves, put too many men up and then break into the space. But don't forget if it ends full time and then extra time, not more than it gets to a 50-50 lottery. And I'm sure Alf Ramsey wouldn't want that. To Argentina. It's not Onega, it's Solari going to run up first I think. And he barks. Number 20, Onega. And there's a goal! We're in injury time. And the whistle has started. The 77th minute was hurt. And so England have won by one goal.
