Description

"England will win the World Cup in 1966" predicted Alf Ramsey on his appointment as England Manager in May 1963. However, his prophetic words were to be thrown back at him time and time again during the next three years, as he struggled to build a World-beating team using his own, idiosyncratic methods. He experimented with a bewildering number of combinations of formations and players, attracting criticism from Press, public and players alike. In truth, he was a highly successful and revolutionary manager who assembled and inspired a hugely talented and committed national team. His most controversial decision was to dispense with wingers altogether, introducing a 4-4-2 combination in which the front men were Hunt and Hurst, and earning the team the epithet of the 'Wingless Wonders'. After a bad-tempered quarter final against Argentina, whose players Ramsey described as 'animals', followed by a thrilling semi-final classic against Portugal, in which even Eusebio's brilliance could not counter Bobby Charlton's two magnificent goals, England came up against West Germany in the final, for a clash that would prove to be truly unforgettable. The highs and lows of the final - Germany's equaliser in the dying seconds of the first 90 minutes, taking the score to 2-2, then, ten minutes into extra time, Geoff Hurst's disputed goal, followed, one minute before the final whistle, by Hurst's third goal and England's fourth - are etched for posterity on the minds of England fans everywhere.
