Once upon a time, England were the best at the world at football. No… really.

In 1966, football truly came home, returning to the island in which its laws were written down, as 16 teams from around the globe descended on Blighty. England were to win the entire competition, too, beating West Germany 4-2 at Wembley Stadium.
