Welcome to It Was What It Was.

I'm Rob Draper.

I'm the co-host of the Football History Podcast with Jonathan Wilson.

And with the World Cup underway, we've got a special four-part series on England's 1966 World Cup win.

Yes, 60 years of hurt we're going into.

the origin story of that we go into proper depth into a story you might have heard before but hopefully it's going to be a load more detail and if you enjoy it please do head over to it was what it was and if you sign up to our patreon channel you'll get everything all four episodes straight away on demand you won't have to wait for them but if you want to wait for them just head over to it was what it was listen to them on there

If you go on to our It Was What It Was feed, there's almost 200 episodes now of all sorts of histories from Colombia's 1994 World Cup to Arsenal-Liverpool 1989 title climax.

Everything you could think of is on there.

But also, if you go on to our Patreon, there's a whole history of the World Cup on there from 1930 to 2022 and lots of bonus episodes on football hooliganism.

on why Brazil are not doing well in the 21st century, all sorts for you to enjoy.

So do check those out and we hope you enjoy this episode.

We won't win the World Cup, but don't blame Alfa Ramsey.

No one would win it with this lot.

Looking back at England's 1966 World Cup win, we're in part two.

We're coming up to the World Cup.
