190. World Cup 2014 (Part 4: Dad's Memories of 1966)
In this episode I was planning to give you my 'brief History of the World Cup' but I abandoned that idea because I decided it was too boring! Instead I've decided to just play you a recorded conversation I had with my Dad about his experience at the 1966 World Cup in London.
