The Beautiful Game Changes.

1966... when pints, a pipe and trips to the flicks won it! England's footballers earn a fortune every week - but 55 years ago, final tickets were ten shillings. Just one of the many eye-popping changes in the Beautiful Game between then and now



Fifty-five years of hurt have passed since the glorious summer of 1966, when England lifted the trophy in a major tournament final for the first - and so far only - time. As Sunday night approaches, when the Three Lions take on Italy in their first ever Euros final, winning a cup - and at Wembley too - is in reach once again. But a lot has changed in 55 years of the beautiful game - from the pay packets to the players' WAGs and downtime. SARAH RAINEY charts the differences between the 1966 squad that defeated West Germany 4-2 and today's England heroes.
