I've never understood why only the selected couple from that great team were knighted.

Yes, sorry what I meant was there maybe some of the 22? man squad still alive but even they're diminishing with the deaths of Greaves etcSorry to be pedantic, but they were all starters. No subs in 1966.
Terry Paine Ian Callaghan and Blackpool born George Eastham are still alive. Paine played in one of the group games in 1966 as did Cally. There may be others from the 22 as well about not sure.Yes, sorry what I meant was there maybe some of the 22? man squad still alive but even they're diminishing with the deaths of Greaves etc
Jimmy was carrying an injury.
No, he`d had a groin injury some time earlier but he was fit before the WC started, and did play in one WC warm up game against Finland but had lost his place to Cohen who had become first choice by then and Jimmy was just past his best sadly. He did not play for England again.
