Still at least that means that we didnt officially lose 3-2 to the Jerries in the 1/4 final, and Bobby Moor was never in Colombia allegedly knicking watches.

Rewriting history can be so refreshing.
If we were to rewrite that 1966 WCF then there would have been no extra time and England would have still won the World Cup.

When Germany equalised, 20 seconds from time, Karl-Heinz Schnellinger was, according to the offside Law at the time, offside.

The linesman who missed that offside was the same man who gave the "dubious" Hurst goal. I have always thought that he had realised his mistake and "put it right".
