Fifty years after England lifted the World Cup, this upbeat film talks to an array of people with special memories of that famous day. Among them are two chaps who couldn't believe their luck when they landed the job of updating the Wembley scoreboard. We also meet the couple whose wedding day was completely overshadowed by the final, and there's an interview with England star George Cohen, who recalls manager Alf Ramsey's words as they went on the pitch. 'You know what I need gentlemen – good luck,' said Alf. Yeah, Alf's boys wouldn't have lost to Iceland!
