1966 FIFA World Cup Final - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The match was contested by England and West Germany on 30 July 1966 at Wembley
Stadium in London, and had an attendance of 98,000. England won 4–2 after extra
time to win the Jules Rimet Trophy. The England team became known as the
"wingless wonders", on account of their then-unconventional narrow attacking
formation, described at the time as a 4-4-2. The match is remembered for
England's only World Cup trophy, Geoff Hurst's hat-trick and the controversial
third goal awarded to England by referee Gottfried Dienst and linesman Tofik
Bakhramov.
