They delivered English football's greatest moment but what happened to the 1966 World Cup winners?

Sir Alf Ramsey's side became legends with a 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley Stadium on July 30, the victory sealing England's first and - to date - only World Cup triumph.

But what became of the glory boys and the man who masterminded the historic win? Fifty years on, take a trip down memory lane by clicking on the cards below to find out... 

Sky Sports will mark the 50th anniversary of England's finest afternoon with a 'live' minute-by-minute blog from 2pm across digital platforms, as well as coverage on Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports News HQ and the Sky Sports social media channels.
