1966 and All That!

The 1966 and the Euro 2004 teams are a very similar blend of good but not great players!

Where the 1966 team differs is in the manager. Sir Alf could take a team of donkeys and make them play like lions!

After all look how he won the Championship in 1962, with a team containing no stars. Every player was played to maximise his potential and the rest is history!

If Sven can do this with the Euro 2004 side, they will win!

As a footnote, I’m an Ipswich supporter and saw that 1962 side. Any team would love to have a pair upfront like Crawford and Phillips!
