London England:
The country of England was in a state of euphoria today after FIFA officials officially changed the score of the 1966 World Cup final from 4-2 to 2-1. A decree was issued by world renowned European Tour referee John Paramor, adopted immediately by FIFA and enshrined into law by parliament hours later.
The original match saw England beat West Germany 4-2 after extra time. However a dramatic change of events transpired yesterday to change the course of history by 30 minutes and three goals.
It all started when keen football fan Alastair Gray, 46, from Staines London, who had Sky plussed a documentary of the '66 final returned home from a night of copious drinking and watched the event only to notice that West Germanys second goal that forced the match into extra time should never have been allowed.
By skilfully using the ‘X2’ Sky plus and ‘pause’ buttons simultaneously Gray noticed the German equaliser appeared to strike the hand of 'up for the cross' German defender Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, 73, before hitting the English net.
Quick thinking Gray immediately emailed the European Tour alerting them of the then AC Milan defenders rules breach. Seconds after, the email reached head referee John Paramor who, having slept on it, ate a big fry up for breakfast, then reviewed the footage, deemed that the viewer was indeed correct.
The European Tour then issued a statement booking the defender and awarding a free out.
Sales of the 15,000 "buy it now" matchworn Geoff Hurst player jerseys are said to have plummeted on eBay.
