This is a four-page mini-exhibit that I prepared for my album after obtaining one of the covers in a GB bulk lot. I welcome any changes to the facts that are stated, and/or any suggestions for a philatelic item to go at the bottom of the fourth leaf, which is uncomfortably blank. A classic stamp design by David Gentleman.
Many of the matches were poorly attended. I saw Italy v Russia at Roker Park, and had the honour of seeing Lev Yashin play. The ground was about half-full.
Our headmaster, "Nobby" Hall, boasted of having acquired a sheet of the England Winners stamp. I suppose he regretted it at leisure.
Nice presentation. I have no interest in soccer/football but I still enjoyed reading it and might have even learned something.
This is nit-picking, the last line in the first paragraph on the fourth page says ".....accounting from inflation......" should read "accounting for inflation".
Aside from Italy in 1934, a single stamp had been the norm. The 1966 stamps were a poor design, but at least there were only three. The 2012 Olympic stamp overkill was remarkable.
