We were on holiday in Llafranch, Spain on the day of the final.
We did not know that England were in the final until the morning of the match due to a lack of newspapers etc and it appeared that we were the only English in the village. So suitably excited we went in search of a bar with a TV, we found one with a 12/14 inch screen. On our return shortly before kick off we found ourselves standing about 20 yards from the screen with a multitude of Germans in front of us and before kick off at the side and behind us too. We mistakenly thought England had gone one up because they normally play in white we realized immediately that we were wrong when the rest of the bar jumped up and started celebrating. Of course the rest of the game was terrific with some good give and take from the rest of the bar.
That evening in the hotel at dinner time we were served first and the rest of the dining room were banging their cutlery as our food was served - a brilliant moment.
