July 30th, 1966. The day when football really did come home. The day England won the World Cup in front of 97,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
More than five decades on from that famous victory against West Germany, the team still remains the most successful national side in British footballing history.
And the iconic image of captain Bobby Moore being hoisted onto the shoulders of his team mates clutching the Jules Rimet trophy is still etched in the hearts and minds of England supporters.
To celebrate the launch of HISTORY’s major new global TV event, History of Football, we’re giving away a free A4-sized art print to help readers re-live England’s finest sporting moment.
History of Football, which begins tonight and runs over 14 days in the run up to this year’s World Cup in Russia, features original documentaries on the beautiful game’s most legendary events and the most famous footballing icons.
Among the stories being told is England’s magical 1990 World Cup campaign, which saw Bobby Robson’s team go closer to winning the World Cup on foreign soil than any other England side either before or since. Return to Turin: Italia ‘90 features exclusive interviews with Gary Lineker, Paul Parker and former captain Terry Butcher talking about the inspiring, but ultimately heart-breaking semi-final exit. Other highlights include a behind-the-scenes look at the sport’s most incredible moments with the players, coaches and fans who made them happen. Episodes include Pele, Argentina and the Dictators, The Three Musketeers: France ‘98 and 7 Goals that Shocked the World.
Football Godfathers delve into the minds of the world’s most revered club managers such as Sven Goran Erikksen, Claudio Ranieri and Roy Hodgson to reveal how they rose - often from relatively undistinguished playing careers - to become footballing titans.
Head-to-Head matches up finest players of yesteryear with the best of today, to find out once and for all, who is the greatest of them all. An expert panel of World Cup players and winners use hard science as well as the romance of style and passion to resolve some of the most vexing questions in sport - Pelé or Maradona? Ronaldo or Messi? Beckham or Bale?
Highlights of the talent line-up for History of Football include Pelé, the only player to win three World Cups; Ryan Giggs, the most decorated player in British history, and former England strikers Gary Lineker and Michael Owen.
