England 1966 World Cup winner, and Fulham legend, George Cohen dies aged 83
There are now just two surviving members of that incredible side – Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Geoff Hurst.It was announced by Fulham that Cohen had sadly passed away
Cohen played every minute of the victorious campaign on home soil and, in total, won 37 caps for his country.The club wrote on their website: “Everyone at Fulham Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our greatest ever players – and gentlemen – George Cohen MBE.” Cohen made his England debut at right-back in a victory against Uruguay in May 1964. Just over two years later, he would be celebrating the game’s greatest prize.
In 2000, he received an MBE along with four other members of the World Cup-winning XI who had yet to be honoured. Manchester United legend George Best once described him as the best full-back he played against, while England manager Sir Alf Ramsay labelled him the country’s greatest ever right-back.
