Of course England romped to victory in 1966, winning their first and only World Cup title in history in front of 96,924 fans at Wembley.
The game was levelled at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes. Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters got on the scoresheet for England while Helmut Haller and Wolfgang Weber netted for West Germany.
Hurst struck again in the 101st minute, arguably the most infamous goal ever scored in world football, with suggestions that the whole of the ball failed to cross the line. The striker wrapped up his hat-trick – and indeed the game – in the last minute with an iconic strike as supporters invaded the pitch.
England triumphed 4-2 and sparked legendary scenes across the nation to be fondly remembered forever.
