1966 & 2010 the similarities go on!

1966 was an election year and so is 2010.

The World Cup victory that year also saw a new Dr Who on tv, as Patrick Troughton took over from William Hartnell and this year Matt Smith has taken over from David Tennant.

Our World Cup winning captain of 1966, Bobby Moore began his career at West Ham just like the proposed captain this year Rio Ferdinand.

In 1966, Spain were the European Champions, in 2010 the reigning champions are Spain.

Italy waited 44 years between their World Cup win in 1938 and their next in 1982 and it is 44 years since our triumph.

The opening of Parliment was first televised in 1966, and last Thursday was the first TV debate between the prime ministerial candidates.

On July 11 1966 saw the opening match of the World Cup featuring England and on July 11 2010 is the date of the World Cup final - could England be featuring?

So could this really be our year of lifting the World Cup - let's hope so.
