For once we are releasing a timely episode as England are still (at time of release) in the 2026 world cup. Which is the perfect time to talk about how, 60 years ago, a team full of missing teeth, combovers and prominent knees, somehow managed to win the whole thing on home turf.
The story of the 1966 world cup has everything. Death, controversy and even a potential international incident (not to mention ransom demands) whic formed the backdrop to a tournament where everything conspired to allow the English to achieve something which they may never manage again.
