We beat Fulham 5-3 in that game. My dad was sad because the crowd were laughing at misplaced passes from an aged and ineffective Johnny Haynes, who dad had seen at his imperious peak.
I remember seeing two other England right backs at The Valley in 68/69, albeit not World Cup winners - Jimmy Armfield for Blackpool in a 0-0 draw and the then Blackburn defender, Keith Newton, who played in the 1970 World Cup.0 -
Barthez, the Man Utd goalie.0
-
Karembeu for Middlesbrough in early 2000s ?

Marco Materazzi played at The Valley, pre World Cup win0

Alberto Tarantini (Argentina/Birmingham)0

Nobby Stiles for Preston North End when we won promotion in 19751

He certainly was but lost his place to Cohen in the lead up to the 1966 World Cup.

We played West Ham in a friendly on the Friday before 4th round day 1971. Bobby Moore played as he was coming back from his ban for going AOL before 3rd round game at Blackpool.
Pretty sure Hurst and Peters didn't play but as posted before Peters played later at the Valley for Sheff U and Norwich in a friendly.
I never got to see Roger Hunt as he was a unused sub for Bolton when we beat them 4 1 which was strange

Although he certainly wouldn't have got a medal before he played at the Valley.
Was the Southampton winger, Payne I think, in the world cup winning squad? He is a candidate.0 -

I haven't googled it or anything so I have no real idea; I'm thinking Desailly? Petit? Leboeuf? I imagine some of the 66 England world cup winners did? (just a bit before my time)
Any glaring ones i've forgotten?0 -

imagine sitting out games when you just proved you are the best in the world. Not on your nelly.. this isn't a summer world cup where you go on holiday after. It's barely mid season0

No, I need to get back to Brighton. We'll never beat Charlton on Wednesday unless all the first teamers play, especially under their inspirational new boss Dean Holden."2 - Sponsored links:

Found it! We had a Friendly against West Ham on Friday 22 January 1971. The team listed in the programme included not only Geoff Hurst, but also Billy Bonds, Trevor Brooking and a certain Harry Redknapp. Someone else said that Bobby Moore also played, but he is not listed in the programme. Perhaps a late change?
Charlton: Wright; Curtis; Bruck; Moore; Went; Shipperley; Davies; Treacy; Plumb; Bond; Kenning
West Ham: Grotier; McDowell; Lampard; Bonds; Taylor; Howe; Redknapp; Lindsay; Hurst; Brooking; EustaceCan't remember the score or been able to find it.
