Anyone watching it? Channel 4
3 little knobs on the back if I remember correctly .The thing I remember most about this is my father, who hated to spend money on non-essentials, splurged on a new colour TV just for this event.
Until then we'd only had black and white TVs.
I also remember he had no idea how to adjust the colours (it was a manual process in those days), so the grass was extra green and England's shirts extra red.
When an England player ran fast, he left a red trail behind him.
He wouldn't let us kids touch the TV controls in case we 'broke it'.
I thought it was shown live in b&w, most of the country only had b&w tv’s.The thing I remember most about this is my father, who hated to spend money on non-essentials, splurged on a new colour TV just for this event.
