What did Geoff Hurst have, > exactly? A good chance at a goal. First, the commentary from the lesser known Hugh Johns: '"Those were the so-often quoted words of BBC Commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme as Geoff Hurst scored England's fourth goal against West Germany in extra time at the 1966 World Cup Final at Wembley. At precisely the same time on ITV, his counterpart - Hugh Johns - concentrating his thoughts on a hat trick possibility, told the viewers: "Here's Hurst, he might make it three. He has! He has! ..... So that's it. That is IT!"' Then: http://www.aboutsoccer.com/ghurst/ghurst.htm The clock was ticking down. The referee checked his watch, ready to blow for full time. Were England about to win the World Cup trophy on a hotly disputed goal? In dying seconds the Germans were pushing everybody up field, desperately trying to equalize again. Bobby Moore floated another long ball from just outside his own penalty box all the way down field. Hurst had acres of room as he collected the as he entered the German third of the field. The seasoned veteran T.V. commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme stated "People are on the pitch, they think it's over! But the referee with whistle in mouth, waved play-on. Just then Hurst reached the edge of the German penalty box and just powered the ball with his left foot into the top left corner of the net. Wolstenholme continues his commentary without missing a beat with "It is NOW!" Geoff Hurst's third and hat trick goal came with only 10 seconds left in the game. A game that put him in the record books forever. And: "In the autumn of 1998 the BBC announced that the England fourth goal (Sir Geoff's third) with Kenneth uttering those immortal words, has been the most shown/popular sporting piece of footage ever seen on the T.V." Kenneth Wolstenholme was also a World War II RAF hero, which few people knew in the 60s. - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2003 20:14:57 -0500 From: Red Subject: Re: seven-seas OT World Cup '66........... um....when was this again??? 30 some years ago?
