This claim to greatness is chiefly substantiated by England's results against Italy, still technically reigning World Champions until 1950, and still under the guidance of Pozzo in 1948. Italy never beat England when they were world champions and on 16 May 1948 England beat the Italians 4-0 in Turin. Also in 1948 England beat Portugal an incredible 10-0 away in Lisbon.

England's finest hour; made all the brighter due to her relative lack of success in the years since. Alf Ramsey was a tactical revolutionary, inventing the 4-4-2 system and the hardworking, versatile midfield, which has since become a staple of the game since. But this team deserved to be remembered as fondly as it is: Gordon Banks - one of the finest goalkeepers of all time, Bobby Moore - majestic centre-back (one of the best ever) and noble leader, and Bobby Charlton - talismanic orchestrator and a fine ambassador for the game.
