George Cohen

The dependable right-back's defensive excellence provided the foundation for England's 1966 World Cup triumph, keeping clean sheets when it mattered most. Cohen's pace, positioning, and tactical discipline made him Alf Ramsey's first choice throughout England's victorious campaign. His entire professional career at Fulham, spanning 459 appearances, exemplified loyalty rarely seen in modern football. The Kensington-born defender's partnership with Ray Wilson gave England the best full-back pairing at the tournament, crucial to their defensive solidity. His 37 England caps included the European Nations Cup and multiple World Cup campaigns, establishing him among England's finest defenders. Cohen's humility and team-first mentality epitomised the spirit of 1966 that united a nation behind their heroes.
