A discovery on a walkSourced
A dog found the stolen World Cup trophy
The World Cup trophy was stolen from a London display in March 1966. A week later, Pickles found the newspaper-wrapped trophy beside a parked car while walking with his owner. The dog was invited to England’s victory celebration.
An ordinary walk entered football history.
