FIFA World Cup 1958
While on the subject of Swedish first day covers with stamps featuring transport subjects I thought I'd chuck this one in.
Having just emigrated to the big city - Bournemouth! - from Somerset where I went to a village school comprising just two classes both with lady teachers and the family only having acquired a telly the previous year football was something of a mystery to me in 1958. Consequently I don't recall watching any of the games and have no idea how TV coverage compared with today's blanket version.
Having been partially converted in the early '60s I was confirmed in 1966 and have followed the faith ever since.
