And a nice guy.
And a nice guy.
My wife got to know him when we played golf many years later with the wives as well turning up.
And my wife, as women are good at summing up the people they know, lying about Bobby Charlton was he wouldn't put a foot wrong on the field and he didn't put a foot wrong off the field.
That's how she described Bobby Charlton.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No special, no special.
Same routine.
Really?
Exactly the same.
Exactly the same.
Team talk first?
A small team talk.
There wasn't, again, the difference here, there weren't major team talks.
A lot of it was, I think, Alf Ramsey picked players who...
their position, the way they played was fitted into his team plan.
He didn't need to tell me how I should play, things I should do, because he's picked me on the basis that the way I played at West Ham would fit in to the way the team played.
The thing I remember about Alf Ramsey saying, more than anything, in the final when the Germans equalised, we're off the pitch, waiting for Alf to come and talk to us about the last 30 minutes, and
A couple of players just sat down on the grass and the first thing Alf said when he came over to those lads, get up, get up, don't let the Germans see your tie, get up.
And he simply said, as we went back onto the pitch, he said, the thing I remember more than anything, as we all do, he said, you beat the Germans once, go and beat them again.
