Help needed English players

[Ballet On Ice]

I was chatting to a few friends in the pub last night when somebody mentioned MOTD last weekend.

The pundits were talking about Nobby Stiles and stated that he was one of a certain number of English players that had won both the World Cup and European Cup.

Did they say that only 3 or 4 English players had done this, and does anybody know who they are, I have been struggling to get this all morning, should be getting some work done.

I have got Bobby Charlton, Nobby Stiles and I think Ian Callaghan (He was in the squad for the 1966 W C I think)

If its 3 then job done, if its 4 then who was it

Job done. Callaghan played against France in group match.

What about Roger Hunt? Had he retired when Liverpool won the EC?

What about Roger Hunt? Had he retired when Liverpool won the EC?

Yes I think so, but not 100% sure

Roger Hunt got a Cup Winners Cup Runner Up medal in 1966 and then in 1969 spent 3 years at Bolton.
So the answer is no.

What about Roger Hunt? Had he retired when Liverpool won the EC?

Yes. He had left Liverpool 8 years earlier and played 2 for Bolton before hanging up his jockies.

Back to the original question, does anybody know whether MOTD said that there were 3 or 4 players that had done it
