July 2016 is the 50th anniversary of England winning the World Cup.

If you would like a different question to ask on the subject ... I have used it as part of a marathon round with a wipeout element (get one wrong and cancels your score)

Name the 11 players in the England World Cup squad of 1966 that didn't play in the final?

Jimmy Greaves is about the only one I could name

Brilliant question. I could add quite a few - Ron Springett was reserve goalkeeper and Ian Callaghan and John Connelly were originally in front of Martin Peters in the pecking order and I'm pretty sure Terry Paine also played a game. Jimmy Armfield also mentioned a few times on his match commentaries that he was in the squad but after that That I'd be guessing. That leaves 5 more so my guesses would be Bryan Douglas, George Eastham, Ron Flowers, Brian Labone and Keith Newton.
