 Telegraph | Sport | Revolutionary coach revered by his players
When his players remembered Ron Greenwood, it was as a gentleman and a revolutionary; a man who treated them as equals and involved them in a coaching set-up that, when he took over as West Ham manager, was well ahead of its time.
Greenwood's vision of football was far more subtle and continental and one of his most inspired ideas was to suggest to the young Hurst, whose hat-trick won the 1966 World Cup final for England, that he should switch from being a wing-half to a striker.
Greenwood was 60 when he stood down from managing England after the 1982 World Cup and Brooking regrets that his experience was not called upon by either the FA or any other club.

 Guardian Unlimited Football | News | Ron Greenwood
When Ron Greenwood, who has died aged 84, worked as a teenager on the ground staff at Wembley stadium before the second world war, he could hardly have expected to return there as England's team manager.
Greenwood was essentially a purist who believed in the arts and skills of the game.
When Greenwood transformed him into a second stopper, playing on the left of the centre-half, he emerged as an outstanding defender, a regular England player at 21 and outstanding captain in the 1966 and 1970 World Cup tournaments.

 Guardian Unlimited Football | News | Ron Greenwood
It was perhaps an irony that Greenwood probably did far more for the England team that won the 1966 World Cup, by helping the development of Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters, than he did as England manager in the 1982 World Cup in Spain.
Their philosophies were very different: Greenwood was essentially a purist who believed in the arts and skills of the game.
When Greenwood transformed him into a second stopper, playing on the left of the centre-half, he quickly emerged as an outstanding defender; a regular England player at 21, when he played in his first World Cup, and outstanding captain in the 1966 and 1970 tournaments.

Ron Greenwood, who died on Thursday at the age of 84 after a long illness, was an England coach of the old school.
Greenwood's side, bolstered by the arrival of Billy Bonds and the emergence of Trevor Brooking from the youth set-up, continued to play attractive, expansive football throughout the late 1960's in front of large crowds at Upton Park, but the trophies remaining frustratingly out of reach.
Greenwood was the clear candidate and he was appointed coach of an England side suffering through a lean, fractious period.
