After it was reported that Bobby & Jack Charlton's dad missed The Semi-Final because he was working down the pit but was able to watch the game thanks to the BBC , will be at Wembley for the final with Mrs Charlton

My dad admitted he wanted Greaves back in and the papers were saying the same.

I hadnt really noticed until recently that Greaves scored only one goal (v Argentina in 1962) in seven World Cup matches.
