Some newspapers didn't make England winning the World Cup for the first and only time their top story. MEDIAThe 1966 World Cup Final remains the most watched television event in Britain, despite the relative scarcity of TV sets in the UK. On the day of the World Cup final, the most-popular song was Out Of Time by Chris Farlowe. He was part of the England World Cup squad in 1950 before retiring to manage Ipswich Town in 1955. Ice baths, yoga sessions and basketball on a purpose-built indoor court have all formed part of the England players' downtime.
