BARRY RADFORD'S RECOLLECTION
OF WORLD CUP '66
West Germany & England moving on to the pitch for what turned out to be an historic and memorable day. Regarding
the big day, as I've said, we the Whale Island band stayed until after
the final whistle. The band changing rooms were above the players tunnel
next to the media rooms. We were allowed access to the tunnel and allowed
free access to enjoy this great day. I know our memories tend to get
a little foggy with age! But anyone witnessing what we were lucky enough
to share. WOW!
Sorry to the doubters but my memory is Crystal Clear. An experience never ever to be forgotten. One of the lucky participants |

It's not my wish to prolong the issue of the Wembley differences of opinion but these photos were taken after the match, and although they are 50 years old they clearly show some of us celebrating at the end of this memorable match. Minus helmets and other regalia. The National Anthem was also played at the presentation of the cup. So who played it if the Royal Marine Band didn't? |
The
persons concerned are myself, next to me is Ray Grant (French Horn)
and John Tucker (Percussion) the England players are Nobby Stiles, Bobby
Charlton and Martin Peters. |
