I have just finished watching C4's showing of the '66 World Cup Final in colour - anyone else see it? First time I've seen it. I wonder what the perception of the officials' performance was back in 1966. I suppose no one cared too much as we won but it certainly seemed quirky to me. One example, Alan Ball throws down the ball with force in an act of dissent. The ball springs into the air and as it comes down the referee decides to head it before trotting over to Ball and wagging his finger at him. Quite surreal to see in 2021.
