Episode notes

What, we had the fake one? I’m staggered. Bloody Cheek. It’s outrageous”.

When England met West Germany in the World Cup Final, England's vice captain George Cohen had his heart set on winning the cup.

Rookie policeman Peter Weston had been charged with swapping the fake cup for the real cup after the game.

Both men tell their story of what happened on that momentous day.

And Tom has a major breakthrough in his search for the elusive Sidney Kew.
