England supporters will be able to prepare for this Sunday's Euro 2020 final in perfect fashion by watching the Three Lions' greatest ever triumph at the 1966 World Cup in colour for the first time. The 4-2 victory against West Germany sealed the only trophy in England's long history in international football, although Gareth Southgate's current crop also have the chance to make history when they face Italy. And to gear up the nation for the date with destiny, Channel 4 have revealed they will show the 1966 classic in all its glory on Saturday. The broadcaster claims this is the first ever screening of its type, and say that the original black and white footage has been 'restored and colourised' by production company Final Replay. Although the online schedule for Channel 4 is yet to change, the special show dedicated to the replay of the final will replace Goodbye Christopher Robin.
