WORLD CUP SPECIAL - COME ON ENGLAND

We, at The Local Herald are aware that between 11th June and 11th July most Englishmen will experience every emotion under the sun as they follow their team in the World Cup. This could put a strain on some relationships, so we have put a few instructions together for the ladies. 1. Between the above dates the T.V. is his, at all times, with no exceptions. Do not even look at the remote control.

2.

If you need to pass in front of the T.V. please do so on “all fours,” so as not to interrupt his line of vision.

3. All forms of communication should be limited to half time, and only during the adverts. This is a great time to bring him more beer and nibbles.

4. One of the most dangerous times during the world cup is if the game against Germany goes to penalties. Warning, nothing you can say will help, so don’t say anything.

5. Other phrases to avoid are, “Get over it, it’s only a game.” “ Don’t worry, they’ll win next time.” “ But these are highlights, you’ve already seen the game, and I want to watch Britain’s Got Talent!” Refer to rule 1.

6. A little pre planning could also help save the relationship. A) Keep the Fridge well stocked with the right stuff. B) Tell your friends not to have any babies during this period, and not to organize any child related parties or gatherings that require him to attend.

7. Finally, his behaviour may become erratic at times, and he might even appear to neglect you, your emotions and your needs. Try to understand this is not personal, this is the World Cup. Normal service should resume on 12th July. Unless we win. Hope this helps.

Passionate about the game !

It was Cup Final day and a huge crowd was approaching the Stadium. A funeral procession slowly passed through the crowd. On seeing this; a man took his hat off and stood motionless for a few moments before walking on. "That was a nice thing to do," said his friend. "Well," said the man, " It’s the least I could do, she was a good wife to me for over 20 years."

Our 1966 World Cup Winning Heroes of 1966 ( above) are household names now but who was the trainer on the left, can you name any other members of the SQUAD, and which clubs did they all play for ? The commentator to the left uttered the immortal words “ They think it’s all over ! ….. It is Now !” What was his name ? Answers on page 18.

In June 2009 the members of the 1966 squad and backroom staff were awarded their World Cup winning medals, arranged by FIFA and presented by Prime Minister Gordon Brown. George Cohen collected the manager’s medal on behalf of Lady Ramsay. It was the rule at the time that only the 11 players on the pitch at the final whistle were awarded medals.
