All we till the mid sixties was the FA Cup Final and England v Scotland. West Ham v TSV Munich in the Cup Winners Cup final was the first European final to be shown live in 1965. Even the World Cup games were only on live TV from '66 on.What a team! I remember watching that game intently and think it was about the second game we'd ever seen broadcast live on the telly as football just wasn't shown live in those days. All our school were behind the hoops that night and we were all made up Celtic won.
In many ways though it made the games more special. Although it's great to have plenty of matches to watch now FA Cup and European finals don't empty the streets like they used to.
