Mark Watterson's 1966 World Cup collection highlights football history

Mark Watterson, a Sheffield resident, reflects on his 40-year journey collecting memorabilia from England's 1966 World Cup victory. His collection includes tickets, programmes, and items from players, including Gerry Byrne's kit bag. Watterson's passion for the tournament, sparked by meeting Geoff Hurst, has led him to acquire rare artifacts, such as an unused quarter-final ticket against Argentina. As the last surviving member of the winning squad, Hurst represents a dwindling link to that historic event. Watterson hopes to pass on his collection to his son, but worries about the fading interest among younger generations.
