Too bad they lost to Croatia. I wanted to see them play France. We can only imagine the tension in that game between two nations that have had a rocky and strained relationship for centuries. France would of hammered England, and the world would of seen the mother of all meltdowns!

You could buy these shirts from left-wing magazines for years:

Harold Wilson, the man who said the quote, was Prime Minister when England won the Cup in 1966.
