Molt(e)s ja sabeu que l´any 1966 l´Atlético va guanyar la lliga, el Madrid la Copa d´Europa, el Betis va baixar a segona i ni el Manchester United ni l´AC Milan se varen classificar per competicions europees. (Com a conseqüència d´això???) Anglaterra va guanyar la Copa del Món.
(La Voz de Galicia també recorda que aquell any, com enguany, també es van donar els ascensos del Depor a primera i del Racing Ferrol a segona)
Anit s´estrenen contra Itàlia, i tots els anglesos s´aferran a la repetició de l´anterior seqüencia per somiar amb el gran Steven Gerrard alçant el trofeu al darrer partit del Mundial...
Per animar-los, recordam amb un vídeo la que va ser cançó oficial a l´estiu de l´any 1966:
WORLD CUP WILLIE
by Lonnie Donegan
There's a football fellah, you all know his name
And the papers tell us he's in the Hall of Fame
Wherever he goes, he'll be all the rage
'Cause he's the new sensation of the age
Dressed in red, white and blue, he's World Cup Willie
We all love him too, World Cup Willie
He's tough as a lion and never will give up
That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup
Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup
Well, we're all football crazy and it's plain to see
That we're all so happy, like one big family
Now we've found someone who makes the rafters ring
Welcome to a brand new soccer King
All dressed in red, white and blue, that's World Cup
Willie
We all love him too, World Cup Willie
He's tough as a lion and never will give up
That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup
Yes! Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the
Cup
All the fans are waiting, how they'll spur him on
And those sixty nations will soon know Willie's song
Wherever he goes, he'll be all the rage
'Cause he's the new sensation of the age
All dressed in red, white and blue, that's World Cup
Willie
We all love him too, World Cup Willie
He's tough as a lion and never will give up
That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup
Ev'rybody!
Willie, yes Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the
Cup
One more time!
Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup
