Still undeniably the most memorable English sporting event was the national football side's victory in the World Cup at Wembley. A hat trick from Geoff Hurst and a Martin Peters goal sealed a 4-2 win over West Germany.

No side sporting the three lions of England on their chest has managed to surpass it in the last 50 years and judging by the current form of the current national side it won't be in the near future either.
