Must read

A programme for the training camp at Lilleshall in June 1966 outlined the full 40-name squad list nominated to Fifa.

It also included details of rooming arrangements for the players and mealtime requests for “first-class food” with “waitress service in the dining room” alongside instructions for “squash, milk and fresh food”.

The documents showed captain Moore shared with players including Jimmy Armfield, Nobby Stiles and Alan Ball.

Jimmy Greaves was with the likes of Norman Hunter, goalkeeper Gordon Banks and 1966 World Cup Final goalscorer Martin Peters.

Hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst, meanwhile, was with Jack Charlton and Peter Bonetti.
