Lauded as England’s greatest ever goalkeeper, Banks left Leicester City the year after winning the World Cup. He had been dropped for Peter Shilton and was told to move on. He joined Stoke despite interest from Bill Shankly’s Liverpool and ended up making 250 appearances and winning the 1972 League Cup. After retiring, he spent a brief period in co...
In a side that lacked natural width in midfield, the likes of Cohen were crucial to manager Alf Ramsey. Sadly, injury forced Cohen, a one-club man for his whole career, into retirement just three years after topping the world with England. He spent some time in coaching with Fulham, England and in non-league, but is more often seen raising money fo...
Moore went on to win a total of 108 England caps, a record for an outfield player that stood until 2009 when David Beckham surpassed it. The majority of his club career was spent at West Ham, where the No 6 shirt has now been retired in his honour, although he did spend three years at Fulham and some time playing in the USA. Like so many of the 66 ...

A l...

Wilson took an unusual path after retiring, running an undertakers in Huddersfield until ret...
Still just 21 when he lifted the trophy, Ball was bought by Everton in the aftermath of the World Cup, winning the title there, and went on to Arsenal five years later. After spells at a number of other clubs, including Blackpool again, he worked as a manager for more than a decade with lengthy spells at Portsmouth, Exeter, Southampton and a season...
Stiles is best remembered for his performance in the semi-final against Portugal, nullifying the prolific Eusebio, and for the pictures of him dancing on the pitch with the World Cup. (Referenced in the song “Three Lions” by the lyric “Bobby belting the ball, And Nobby dancing!”) He was part of United’s European Cup-winning side of 1968 and left th...
Charlton was already an England and Manchester United legend by the time he won the World Cup, and added another league title and the European Cup to his achievements after. He also won the Ballon d’Or in 66 and was runner up for the next two years. When he finally retired, he had scored 309 goals in 913 games as a professional. Charlton is still a...
Peter left fellow World Cup winners Hurst and Moore at West Ham in 1970 and moved to Tottenham, where he was part of the Uefa Cup winning side and twice won the League Cup. He ended his career as player-manager in the Third Division with Sheffield United in 1981. After retiring, Peters worked in insurance but remained involved upstairs at both Spur...
Fame and fortune beckoned for the man who had scored 40 in 59 leading up to the World Cup and then a hat-trick in the final but West Ham turned down a considerable offer from Matt Busby’s Manchester United. Instead he stayed at Upton Park, but did not add any further silverware before moving to Stoke in 1972. Hurst eventually retired after a spell ...
