DO YOU KNOW THE YOUNGEST EVER CAPTAIN OF ENGLAND'S THREE LIONS NATIONAL TEAM?
![]() |
| Bobby Moore |
He was the youngest man ever to captain England at the highest level. England defeated Czechoslovakia 4–2 in the game and Armfield returned to the role of captain afterwards, but new coach Alf Ramsey gave Moore the job permanently during a series of summer friendlies in 1964, organised because England had failed to reach the latter stages of the UEFA European Championships.
He later captained the Three Lions to victory at the England 1966 FIFA World Cup finals at Wembley Stadium against West Germany.
