World Cup Willie…

Molt(e)s ja sabeu que l´any 1966 l´Atlético va guanyar la lliga, el Madrid la Copa d´Europa, el Betis va baixar a segona i ni el Manchester United ni l´AC Milan se varen classificar per competicions europees. (Com a conseqüència d´això???) Anglaterra va guanyar la Copa del Món.

(La Voz de Galicia també recorda que aquell any, com enguany, també es van donar els ascensos del Depor a primera i del Racing Ferrol a segona)

Anit s´estrenen contra Itàlia, i tots els anglesos s´aferran a la repetició de l´anterior seqüencia per somiar amb el gran Steven Gerrard alçant el trofeu al darrer partit del Mundial...

Per animar-los, recordam amb un vídeo la que va ser cançó oficial a l´estiu de l´any 1966:

WORLD CUP WILLIE 

by Lonnie Donegan

There's a football fellah, you all know his name

And the papers tell us he's in the Hall of Fame

Wherever he goes, he'll be all the rage

'Cause he's the new sensation of the age

Dressed in red, white and blue, he's World Cup Willie

We all love him too, World Cup Willie

He's tough as a lion and never will give up

That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup

Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup

Well, we're all football crazy and it's plain to see

That we're all so happy, like one big family

Now we've found someone who makes the rafters ring

Welcome to a brand new soccer King

All dressed in red, white and blue, that's World Cup 

Willie

We all love him too, World Cup Willie

He's tough as a lion and never will give up

That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup

Yes! Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the 

Cup

All the fans are waiting, how they'll spur him on

And those sixty nations will soon know Willie's song

Wherever he goes, he'll be all the rage

'Cause he's the new sensation of the age

All dressed in red, white and blue, that's World Cup 

Willie

We all love him too, World Cup Willie

He's tough as a lion and never will give up

That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup

Ev'rybody!

Willie, yes Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the 

Cup

One more time!

Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup
