The final 23-man squad named by England manager Fabio Capello is brimming with goals and attacking intent. Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are all highly regarded for their goalscoring exploits for both club and country. There are a number of goals in England’s World Cup history that together represent the gold standard against which other efforts are judged. Included in this list are classics such as David Platt’s superbly timed volley against Belgium, Bobby Charlton’s thunderbolt against Mexico and Michael Owen’s blistering run and perfect finish against Argentina. But perhaps the most famous and most important English World Cup goal of all time remains Geoff Hurst’s second in the final of the 1966 World Cup.It’s a goal with its own chapter in the history of English football.
