Morgan, as editor of the Daily Mirror, apologized on television for the headline (in upper case) “Surrender, beware! The Euro Championship is over for you, Fritz Ze “on June 25, 1996, a day before England faced Germany in a Euro ’96 football championship semi-final. Morgan’s headline was accompanied by an open letter in which he mocked Neville Chamberlain’s declaration of war on Germany in 1939. “It was meant to be a joke, but anyone who was offended by it must have taken it seriously, and I apologize to those people,” he said. Germany won both the game and the championship at Wembley Stadium in London.
A £16 million investment package in the title began in January, including the removal of “Daily” from the masthead in February, which was later reversed. Morgan’s editorship “has made a huge difference: his enormous enthusiasm, determination, and focus is a major plus,” wrote Roy Greenslade in August 1999.
