 The legacy of Walter Winterbottom
Strange because in a sense Hidegkuti was Walter's nemesis, the man who destroyed the England defence on that November afternoon in 1953 when he scored three of the Hungarian goals in a crushing 6-3 victory; the first ever by a foreign team on English soil.
True Winterbottom, who remained in office for an amazing 16 years, from 1946 to 1962, for most of that time was obliged to field the teams the selection committee of club directors picked for him; and they certainly picked a pretty strange one for Budapest.
Walter himself was no mean footballer, playing League soccer before the war for Manchester United as a centre half and as a guest for Chelsea in wartime when he worked, a Wing Commander in the RAF, at the Air Ministry in London.

When Winterbottom and Eaton were developing the project as a sitcom, they had approached Brydon to play Tristram and Walter Shandy (a fact that is mentioned in the modern portion of the film).

Beckham was exceptional throughout the Athens match and sealed the win with a soaring free kick in the 87th minute but it was his attitude that lifted England to take the lead when the Greek team made a good start to the second half.
