English footballer and manager (1942โ€“2020)

Norbert Peter Stiles was an English footballer and manager. He played for England for five years, winning 28 caps and scoring one goal. He played every minute of England's victorious 1966 FIFA World Cup campaign. In the semi-final of that tournament against Portugal, he was given the job of marking the prolific Eusรฉbio. His tough performance resulted in Eusรฉbio being practically nullified for the entire game. Stiles also played in the final, which England won 4โ€“2 against West Germany. His post-match dance on the Wembley pitch, holding the World Cup trophy in one hand and his false teeth in the other, was widely broadcast.
