Re 186 Many of Spurs matches in this cup run exist as recorded highlights & can be easily found on you tube.Of course many such highlights have also long gone & I think that the retention rate for Spurs is due to the fact that ,with all due respect to Hibs,this was the first time that it looked like a British club could actually win the European Cup ...sorry William!!! Of course the honour of being the first British side to win the European Cup ultimately fell to Jock Stein's brilliant Celtic team,the Lisbon Lions.

Re 186 the European Cup semi-final Tottenham v Benfica this was the first football match I can ever remember watching on tv as 7 year old.They showed the 2nd half live and it was a thrilling watch as Spurs just failed to overturn a 1st leg defecit.Many years later in 2014 the teams met again in Europe on ITV and I was wondering if they would show any footage from the 1962 game. In the event they showed the Pathe newsreel coverage which leads me to suspect that once again any tv recording has long since disappeared, indeed as it was a live broadcast it may never have been recorded at all.

Re inter league match it finished 1-0 to the English League, scorer Hooper. No idea if it exists in any archive.

Regarding the archive status of FA Cup Finals from the 1960s I think you should not look too hard for a coherent strategy from the BBC. Without doubt all FA Cup finals in the 60s were videotaped originally but all of the b/w ones were subsequently transferred to film ,apart from the 1965 game. Why it survives on the original VT is probably a lucky accident of fate.
Re 1966 World Cup ,again a bit of pot luck what got presereved on original VT and what was transferred to film and then wiped. ITV even wiped their VT of the final and as I remember it was commentator Hugh Jones who pleaded with them to at least make a t/r before wiping.
Re 1968 European Cup final it does revert to a telerecording for the extra time period ,presumably the VT protion for extra time was wiped long before the BBC had any idea that they would be able to commercially recycle the whole match to the general population. I have though seen a VT version of the extra time goals from the ITV broadcast that night.
