In the meantime, how about some reminders of life on South Tyneside the last time England won a major tournament?
We have got 9 flashback photos from 1966 including a visit by a clown to a famous store, local pubs and a well-known band pictured in the borough.
We all remember Bobby belting the ball, and Nobby dancing, but who remembers these South Tyneside scenes?
