England 'Victorious' XI (1966)

England's pride - despite controversies surrounding the World Cup for unfair exits of Brazil, U.S.S.R. and Argentina, the Football from the masters of England was of the highest quality.

Alf Ramsey prepared this team with meticulous selection and strict eye on pragmatism, and keeping the new formation 4-1-3-2 close to his heart after a few experiments, until unraveling it again right in the World Cup 1966.

Perhaps one day the Three Lions will win the top prize again, joining the legends of Banks, Charlton, Hurst and Moore as names etched on the hearts of a nation. However, for the time being this is the ultimate team England ever have assembled. A world champion - a deserving World Champion team.
