Bobby Charlton was one of England\u2019s greatest ever players (PA)<\/p>\n

England 2 Portugal 1 \u2013 July 26, 1966<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The attacking midfielder put in a stunning, match-winning performance to earn England their only World Cup final appearance to date. <\/p>\n

Up against Eusebio-inspired Portugal in the semi-finals, the midfielder opened the scoring in the 30th minute after the ball fell kindly for him and struck home an emphatic second goal as the clock wound down.<\/p>\n

England 4 West Germany 2 \u2013 July 30, 1966<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The 1966 World Cup final at Wembley earned Charlton and his team-mates their place in history. <\/p>\n

He impressed as a playmaker against the West Germans and hit a post with the scoreline at 2-2 in extra-time. <\/p>\n

The likes of hat-trick hero Sir Geoff Hurst grabbed the headlines, but Charlton still called the victory the \u201cdiamond of my days\u201d.<\/p>\n

England 3 Northern Ireland 1 \u2013 April 21, 1970<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bobby Moore gave Charlton the captain\u2019s armband as he celebrated becoming the second player in history to reach a century of England caps. <\/p>\n

It was a special moment made all the better by the fact he wrapped up the scoring in a 3-1 Home Championship victory at Wembley. <\/p>\n

Charlton called time on his England career following that summer\u2019s World Cup in Mexico.<\/p>\n
