1966: Who Stole The World Cup?

Channel 4, Monday, 10pm

Ahead of the 2022 World Cup, this documentary, narrated by Alan Ford, looks at one of the most audacious and surprising stories in the tournament’s history – one that took place entirely away from the pitch: the theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy just months before the 1966 tournament.

The tale, which involves spivs, wide boys from south London, the Flying Squad and a dog named Pickles, is worthy of any classic British crime flick.
