It is 50 years since England won their one and only World Cup, beating West Germany 4-2 at Wembley on July 30, 1966.

96,924 --the official attendance at Wembley.

2,575 -- it would have cost 25 pounds and 75 shillings for a Grade 1 "10-match ticket" to watch all the 1966 World Cup games in a group, the knockout stages and then guaranteed admission to the final at Wembley, for which there were no individual seat tickets put on sale. According to monetary website www.measuringworth.com, that is an equivalent purchase of around £483 today.
