Scotland striker Denis Law eyes the ball under pressure from England defenders Keith Newton and Jack Charlton during the final game of the British Home Championship at Hampden Park on 2 April 1966. Law was on target in what was an enthralling duel, and his team-mate Jimmy Johnstone scored twice. However, the Three Lions emerged 4-3 victors thanks to a Roger Hunt double and a goal apiece from Geoff Hurst and Bobby Charlton. The result ensured England seized a morale-boosting trophy ahead of that year’s FIFA World Cup™, which they famously won on home soil.
