Description

On 30th July 1966 at Wembley Stadium in front of 90,000 fans, England won the 1966 FIFA World Cup'”, beating West Germany 4-2. It was one of the most exciting football matches ever, culminating in a hat-trick for the England striker Sir Geoff Hurst and the golden Jules Rimet trophy being presented to the captain Bobby Moore by Queen Elizabeth II. The match was broadcast to millions around the world – and in the UK was covered by both the BBC and ITV – in black and white. To this day it remains the biggest ever TV audience in UK history.
