Geoff Hurst plays himself into the history books
1966: Football glory for England

England have

England have won football's World Cup for the first time since the tournament began in 1930.

A crowd of 93,000 spectators - including the Queen and Prince Phillip - filled London's Wembley Stadium to watch the host nation play West Germany in the final game of the 1966 championships.

Another 400 million people around the world watched the keenly fought match on television.

In the final moments of extra time Geoff Hurst powered home his third goal to give England a 4-2 victory and to become the first man ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.

After Germany had taken an early lead, Hurst levelled the score for England by half time with a header from a free kick taken by captain Bobby Moore.

Victory in sight

England came out with courage and determination after the break and glimpsed glory thirteen minutes from time as Martin Peters took their second goal.

But a free kick to Germany 15 seconds from full time gave Wolfgang Weber a close-range shot into Gordon Banks' goal and took the score to 2-2.

In the crucial minutes before the decisive half hour of extra time England manager Alf Ramsay was heard to rally his team, saying: "All right. You let it slip. Now start again."

A dubious goal by Hurst - glanced off the line by Weber and only given after consultation between the Swiss referee and Soviet linesman - put England ahead in the last 15 minutes, before the striker's third goal put the game out of Germany's reach.

Bobby Moore went up to the royal box to collect the solid gold Jules Rimet trophy from Queen Elizabeth.

In the largest World Cup ever - numbering 70 countries - England were among the favourites and got as far as the semi-final, against newcomers Portugal, before conceding a goal.

Turkey began landing troops on Cyprus on 20 July

1974: Peace deal for Cyprus

Artificially 1969:
The Foreign ministers from Greece, Turkey and the UK have signed a peace agreement to settle the Cyprus crisis.

After five days of talks in Geneva, Constantine Karamanlis of Greece, Bulent Ecevit of Turkey and James Callaghan of the UK have agreed a deal to end weeks of fighting on the Mediterranean island.

Mr Callaghan said:"It creates conditions under which Greece and Turkey can draw back honourably from making war on each other."

He has described it as a "common sense agreement", but Greek diplomats say it leaves Turkey - which invaded the republic of Cyprus on 20 July - in a stronger position.

Ceasefire terms

Under the ceasefire, Turkish troops are prevented from making further advances and a UN-patrolled buffer zone will be established to keep warring Greek and Turkish factions apart.

Representatives from Greece, Turkey, the UK and the UN will determine the precise location and size of the buffer zone tomorrow morning, according to the positions of the opposing forces at 2000 GMT this evening.

The agreement is in line with UN Security Council Resolution 353 demanding withdrawal of all unauthorised troops and seeks to restore the terms of the peace agreed in Nicosia in 1960, which established independence and power-sharing.

Greece breached the 1960 treaty ten days ago by instigating a coup against elected Cypriot president Archbishop Makarios.

Turkey responded by sending in troops, since the Greek puppet regime threatens its minority on the island.

Turkish soldiers were still arriving on the island last night, swelling their force - permitted under the 1960 treaty - to 35,000 men and 300 tanks and other armour.

Peace conference

Speaking in London, the exiled president said he was pleased with the peace as long as all parties kept to it.

Greek, Turkish and British ministers will meet again in Geneva on 8 August to discuss further details of the settlement.

Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot delegates will be invited to the conference on 10 August.

Vocabulary:
 

instigate : to stir up; foment(鼓動(dòng))
