In 1966 england were the best football in the world; we havn't achieved that previously or indeed since and in the sport that is truly the British peoples most famous and rigourously fought around the world this is indeed a great achievment.
Names such as Charlton, Moorew, Banks and Hurst still pass the limps of school children today as true British heros and that team still today remain the pinnacle of British sport to which we often glance fondishly back at. For once English bravado about the the game we gave the world was justified.

England beat the world in the most global team sport and that is why this is the true all time great team.
