Overview
Hurst the hero for England in the home of football
The country that invented football, England, finally found a formula for success on the world stage. Alf Ramsey's 'Wingless wonders' overcame Final opponents West Germany thanks to Geoff Hurst's historic hat-trick, though the debate over whether his middle strike crossed the line continues to this day. Eusebio was another scoring hero, his nine goals – four of them against Italy's surprise conquerors, Korea DPR – taking Portugal to third place.
+ Fourth: Soviet Union
+ Golden Shoe: EUSEBIO (Eusebio da Silva Ferreira) (POR)
* Best Young Player Award: Franz BECKENBAUER (GER)
