The World Cup: Heroes of '66

Duration: 35 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

Dan Walker delves into the BBC archives for a look back at England's World Cup-winning team of 1966, and what happened next. With rarely seen interviews and clips featuring the likes of Geoff Hurst, Bobby Moore, Gordon Banks and the Charlton brothers, we get the players' own perspectives on that famous victory over West Germany.

We also explore how the football fame-game has changed dramatically over the years, and discover the different paths the heroes of 66 followed in the decades after the triumph, with careers that ranged from football manager to more unexpected jobs like travel agent and undertaker. Show less
