West Germany at the 1966 World Cup - Original Photos

Football gold dropped through my letterbox this weekend. I’d spotted some original photographs taken at the 1966 World Cup up for sale on a well known auction site so being a bit of nostalgia nerd I just had to have them. Here’s a selection for your viewing pleasure.

The bottom photo shows West German fans cheering on their team during the Group 2 game against Argentina at Villa Park. The game, watched by 51000 ended 0-0. 

The bottom photo is a shot of a British Army marching band providing pre-match entertainment prior to the quarter-final tie between West Germany and Uruguay at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough ground. The two middle photos are action shots from the game itself, which was watched by a crowd of 34000 who saw the Germans beat Uruguay 4-0.

The Anglo-Italian Inter Leagues Clubs Competition more commonly known as the Anglo-Italian Cup started in 1970 and ran until 1973. It reappeared in various guises throughout the seventies, eighties and nineties.  The programme shown above is the 1973 official souvenir handbook and ranks as one of my all-time favourite cover designs. It’s got a wonderful sense of movement and energy whilst conveying a unity of purpose between the English and Italian leagues as they come together in the spirit of friendly competition. The 1973 competition was won by Newcastle Utd who beat Fiorentina 2-1.
