I think that leaves George Cohen, Roger Hunt, Bobby Charlton, and Geoff Hurst. It's starting to feel like that day when Neil Armstrong died - a part of my youth removed.

Legend doesn't really fully justify what these guys have done for football, for our nation, for humanity bringing people together in the love of the beautiful game. RIP Nobby Stiles.

The word legend is much overused these days, but only the select few represent their country.

Even fewer play at a World Cup finals, and only the true legends have the winner's medal to prove it.

Thanks Nobby. Three Lions on your shirt, worn with pride.
