  After two contentious goals allow Chelsea to celebrate victory over Tottenham Hotspur, Sir Geoff, who famously scored a goal in the 1966 World Cup Final thanks to a marginal call in the same circumstances, talks to Garry Richardson on BBC 5 Live about goal-line technology.

  "Every football person who has played the game or watched the game would say it's got to be introduced but a small handful of people in Zurich decide, because it's not their idea, that they're not going to use it."
