  • George Cohen's 1966 World Cup Final Shirt Leads Christie's Summer Sale of Sporting Memorabilia
    For Immediate Release Tuesday, 16 May 2006 Contact: Matthew Paton 020 7389 2965 [email protected] GEORGE COHEN’S 1966 WORLD CUP FINAL SHIRT LEADS CHRISTIE’S SUMMER SALE OF SPORTING MEMORABILIA Traditional Sports and World Cup Memorabilia 27 June 2006, South Kensington South Kensington – Christie’s announce that the shirt worn by George Cohen during the World Cup Final of 1966 will lead the sale of Traditional Sports and World Cup Memorabilia on 27 June 2006. A rare relic from English football’s finest hour, Cohen swapped the shirt with Lothar Emmerich, a winger in the defeated West German team, in whose family possession it has remained to this day. It is expected to realise £15,000-20,000. The summer sale will also include approximately 200 items of cricket, boxing, tennis and golf memorabilia, including the Renshaw Cup won by Fred Perry at Wimbledon in 1936, the last time a British player won the singles title (estimate: £25,000-£30,000). George Cohen (b. London, 1939) won thirty seven caps for England between 1964 and 1967 and played in all six of England’s matches in the 1966 FIFA World Cup Tournament. He spent his entire playing career at Fulham and made 459 appearances for the London side before retiring through injury at the age of twenty nine. Described by George Best as ‘the best full back I ever played against’, Cohen was one of five players from the England team of 1966 to receive an MBE in 2000. His 1966 World Cup final shirt has been in German possession for forty years, having been swapped with Lothar Emmerich at the end of the match.

The portraits are seen together for the first time as part of a new display, Bobby Moore: First Gentleman of English Football (March 5 2018 – January 2019) to mark this summer’s FIFA World Cup tournament. Moore famously captained the England football team to achieve their first and only World Cup victory, on 30 July 1966, defeating West Germany 4-2 in a tense final at Wembley Stadium. While the famous image of Moore, lifting the Jules Rimet trophy cemented him as the embodiment of a golden period in English football, these newly acquired vintage press prints provide an insight into both the professional and personal life of one of England’s best-loved sporting heroes on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death.
