Great day! I was 14 and watched it with my dad
I asked him if he was going to watch it that morning and he said he had to dig the garden. I said to him I would dig it if England won and bugger me as soon as the game was over he gave me the spade and said there you go son, celebrate with that! It took me two days of my school holidays!! I still have the watneys red barrel world cup Willie pendant and every time I look at it I think of that f**king garden! Happy days
