		They looked to have all the time in the world, and would saunter leisurely with the ball in the middle of the field before sending a pass like an arrow to one of their flying teammates; excitement was at their command.
		Bobby Moore held up the cup, and, as it was passed from player to player, each one’s name was chanted fervently; but it was when Alf Ramsey raised the cup gingerly aloft, as though still not quite convinced that it was real, that the cheers became pure delirium, the delight pure ecstasy.
