In the summer of 1966, fresh from securing his second top-flight league title with Liverpool, prolific striker Roger Hunt joined clubmates Ian Callaghan and Gerry Byrne in Alf Ramsey's 22-man England squad for the World Cup finals on home soil.

England would go on to win the Jules Rimet trophy for what remains the only occasion in the nation's history and Hunt played every game, scoring three goals on the way to the final.

The Three Lions beat West Germany 4–2 in extra time at Wembley, with England's controversial third goal, Geoff Hurst's shot that was adjudged to have gone in off the crossbar, the subject of debate for more than 50 years... did it cross the line?

Hunt was the closest England player to the incident and his reaction (pictured above) is proof it did, according to Hurst.

"Roger Hunt wheeled away shouting "Goal!" when his striker's instinct would have been to make sure if he thought it hadn't gone in," Hurst has always insisted. "That's good enough for me."
