Re that similar Germany result v England in 1970 LS, I can vividly recall driving near Littlehampton in the summer of 1970 with my car radio broadcasting a live commentary of this match and suddenly Frans Beckenbauer made it 2-1, England still ahead. I immediately pulled in to a beach siding intently listening to this match because it was clear that Germany were in the process of overhauling Bobby Moore, Charlton et al - an up n coming great German side at work. I was right and that great old striker, Uwe Seeler, scored the equaliser and another younger great, predatory pen box striker, Gerd Mueller, finished them off in ET with a fantastic, acrobatic kick to beat Gordon Banks. This was indeed another great match at a pt when one could 'sense' the 'tide was turning' after Beckenbauer scored that 1st goal! I didn't realise that was the last time re such a result occurring! Always remembered.
