1966

 

Crossed from the wing

By Alan Ball

He picks out Hurst

Who’s standing tall

He takes control

A turn and shot

Its hit the bar

Was it in or not?

It crashes down

Onto the line

Has it crossed?

It must this time

It’s not a goal

The Germans say

Where’s the ref

He’s gone away

He even asks

The linesman too

He nods his head 

England three - two

I have regrets

About that day

We did not win fare

The Germans say

Nearly forty

Years of doubt

Was the ball in?

Or was the ball out

But if Hunt had only

Knocked it in

We would not have

All the arguing
