20-March-1966 The Jules Rimet World Cup trophy is stolen
The Trophy on display in the run up to the 1966 finals was stolen, although later recovered by a dog! At the time the Brazilians, the then holders, went ape. Subsequently when they won the trophy for the third time in 1970 it was awarded to them permanently. It was then stolen and never recovered. An expression about glass houses and stones comes to mind.
