HEADLINES
It was May 1965 and Cassius Clay overcame Sonny Liston to
become the Heavyweight Boxing champion of the world. A
famous photo of the bout was published in newspapers in
which Clay stood looking over the floored Liston having
sent him crashing down in the first round of the fight.
From
boxing to football and Liverpool won the FA Cup for the
first time. They
beat Leeds United two one with all the goals scored in extra
time. Liverpool,
managed by Bill Shankly, had been the underdogs to the much
fancied Don Revie managed Leeds United.
After
a goalless ninety minutes, Roger Hunt scored the first for
Liverpool three minutes into extra time. Leeds
United's Billy Bremner equalised only for another Scot -
Ian St John - to fire the winner home nine minutes from
time.
On
the European stage meanwhile, West Ham United were the kings.
They'd
won the European Cup Winners' Cup at Wembley beating TSV
Munich by two goals to nill. It
was described by many as one of the best European football
finals ever played.
Seen
live on television in eighteen countries, one Brazilian
football official said afterwards - "If England can
display football like this, then they are the real danger
in next year's World Cup."
They
would be prophetic words and Hammers fans to this day say
that West Ham United's greatest victory was winning the
World Cup - because of the West Ham influence in that national
side.
It
was ay forty years ago and old England was disappearing.
The Government announced that we would be switching to the
metric system, and 40 years later what do we have left -
the mile !
The
Queen was on a state visit of West Germany and visited the
Berlin Wall. The
visit came just days after West Germany had established
relations with Israel. In
protest a number of Arab countries severed their ties with
West Germany.
Scotland
Yard were appealing for help, they needed the public's assistance
in catching the three train robbers still at large.

FRANCOISE
ALL OVER THE WORLD
 |
By
the time Francoise had her hit All Over The World
in 1965, she was already a well established singer
and recording artiste in France, having made an LP
in 1962 called "Tous les garçons et les
filles."
That first album was released in the UK in 1964 and
made No.36.
A year later she represented Monaco in the Eurovision
Song Contest and came fifth with her song "L'amour
s'en va."
Francoise was twenty one and the future looked very
rosy.
"Et meme" was released as a single in January
1965 and made No.31. It paved the way for her biggest
UK chart hit. "All Over The World," which
features in this week's John's Journey Back In Time,
made No.16.
Most of Francoise's songs were self written and have
been translated into several languages including English.
Like so many other French singers, Francoise successfully
made the break into films, appearing in "Chateau
en Suède" in 1963, "Une balle au
coeur" in 1965, "What's New Pussycat?"
in 1966), "Masculin-Féminin" in 1966,
and "Grand Prix" in 1967.
She was also a singer the biggest pop stars of the
day wanted to meet. She was photographed with Mick
Jagger, and when Bob Dylan came to Paris in 1966,
he asked to meet with Francoise.
That meeting came after the legendary singer songwriter
had written a long poem about her and had it published
on the cover of his LP Another Side Of Bob Dylan.
Francoise Hardy is still very active today and there
is an official website dedicated to her - www.francoise-hardy.com.
