From The Guardian:
'Just hours before England were due to face Denmark in the second round of
the World Cup competition, Mr Humphrys, a Welshman, told the audience at a
Scottish Business Achievement Trust charity lunch in Edinburgh that he would
find it "unbearable" if England were to duplicate their 1966 victory.

He asked: "Can you imagine what it would be like living in London if that
bunch of precious, overpaid tossers win the World Cup?" His comments were
reportedly greeted by cheers and applause.'
