Chance to relive that 1966 final

25 September 2007
The cheers are not from England fans but from people recruited by American artist Paul Pfeiffer in the Philippines.
Their chants of Rule Britannia and When The Saints Come Marching In can be assessed for veracity when the installation, The Saints, is unveiled tomorrow at a warehouse in Engineers Way, directly opposite the refurbished stadium.
Pfeiffer, 41, who was commissioned by arts agency Artangel, said: "I was aware of the great importance of the match in England but it continues to unfold just how important the event appears to be to a lot of people. That's been a discovery."
He wants the work to make people think of 1966, the year he was born, at a time when Wembley has been re-opened.
