1966 ORIGINAL WORLD CUP FINAL PROGRAMME ENGLAND V WEST GERMANY
CONDITION IS FAIR, IT HAS A TEAR TO FRONT COVER ON RIGHT HAND SIDE, WAVY THROUGHOUT, NO WRITING, STAPLES ARE RUSTY, AND CENTRE TEAM PAGE HAS COME AWAY FROM THE TOP STAPLE, THE PROGRAMME IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY
ALL TESTS HAVE BEEN MET, TO ENSURE THIS PROGRAMME WAS ON SALE AT WEMBLEY IN 1966
The football programme has a very distinct Chelsea Blue colour to the front cover background, which is a (darkish shade of blue) if you did not know. On the rear cover of the original programme there is a picture of a Cadet cigarette packet, and the colour of the stripes should be a distinctive scarlet red colour, NOT "orange".
Inside the programme on page Two the Players No.6 cigarette packet picture, should have a distinct two tone contrasting black and white stripe on the pack.
The front cover lettering of "England V West Germany" should be a slightly blueish colour and NOT "BLACK". On Page Four the Earls tie should have a distinct pattern to it, the reprints do not have this, it is just dark. The picture of the Slazenger football on the centre pages should be a clear light colour, and you can read the writing on them. The weight of the programme is a real clue as well, the original 66 Football programme weighs about 130 grams, and the reprints are only about 96 grams, thus the original is heavier than the reprints. Also the size of the staples are exactly half of an inch long. The paper was printed in two separate stages, They were printed separately just before the final when they found out the team line ups, the reprints use the same paper throughout.
