15 - Watching the Final in Germany John Kay: watching in Bavaria

In 1966 I was an 18 year old musician touring Germany with a Soul Band whose members were from England, Germany and the USA.

I watched the World Cup final in our German drummers parents apartment in Bierstadt nr Wiesbaden. The family made us very welcome and fed us and provided beer during the match! The hospitality of this family was superb and even though we beat the Germans, they took it all very well.

That night we played at an American base club and I remember the Americans buying us drink after drink because we were ‘WORLD CHAMPIONS’ even though they didn’t have a clue about football!

So I watched England beat Germany in the World Cup Final with a German family in Germany! I don’t think many people can say that!
