Very disappointing.

So the two memorable things are, one, when the whistle is blown.

And at that moment, as the ball went in, I wasn't sure whether the goal had counted because the referee was blown.

But we realised not long after that goal did count.

So the first reaction is one of just relief, if you like, or sagging.

You've been through a tough game against a great German side.

There's one that you got through it, is your first feeling.

And the celebrations, you run around the pitch and that stuff, but you're just still sagging because of the tough game you're in.

The second you talked about meeting the Queen, my other recollection, things you stupidly remember, Bobby Moore was not only a great player, he was known as being very immaculate in his opponents, teammates, how he dressed, behaved on and off the field, immaculate.

Even from school, people remember him.

Somebody bumped into me a few months ago who had been at school with Morrow and she said about him then at school as immaculate.

So we go to meet the Queen.

He's up for arms.

I'm second in line, as you see in the film.

And he sees the Queen is wearing white gloves.

So not to make sure he dirties the white gloves of the Queen, he then wipes his hands, just in case there's any mud on them, on the cloth parapet, whatever that was, to make sure his hands were not dirty before he meets the Queen and shakes hands with her.

Who does that?

That's astounding, the thing I said about somebody who went to school and saw him as immaculate as a schoolboy.

No, I wouldn't have thought so.

I think it was a team, I wouldn't think for one second, everybody, maybe from outside people, maybe from the media, maybe from people who didn't watch much of the game.
