WE have just celebrated our Golden Wedding on August 13.
We had to go for my wedding ring on the day of the 1966 cup final as it was the only Saturday afternoon.
My future husband had time off work. We decided to go to town on the bus to Prestons after the match finished but of course they played extra time and n those days the shops didn't stay open late or on Sundays.
So for 50 years I have never lived it down that my husband never saw the past part of the res of the most famous England match we ever won. Fortunately, our match has stood the test of time.
