Here is the first of such a final that 1966 match, that was Englands greatest footballing achievement that being the World Cup Final England v West Germany. It's doubtful that the England team will ever be able to reach the W.C.F. again, but in 1966 they had ateam of heroes that could and did win this fabulous tournament. ORIGINAL PROGRAMMES are aplenty, but still fetch a high price tag. Over 100 pounds is the norm, so popular are these programmes that there are several reprints. I myself have bought at least 2 reprints, thinking that they are originals, it is not until you have the programme that you can ascertain whether or not it is genuine.
1. See the pattern on Earl of Harewood's tie.
2. Weighs exactly 128 grams ( reprints are lighter)
3. Cigarette label on back page is red not orange.
4. Cover Chelsea Blue
These are just some of the tests one can spot a reprint. Yes that is Jackie Charlton's signature on the back of an original I once had. Of the other 2 one is genuine and one is a reprint can you spot the difference. This can be difficult task. But I currently have an original for sale @ Mickey's Bric a Brac
