Three footballers from England's 1966 World Cup winning team are on the Isle of Man today (Thursday).

Gordon Banks, Jack Charlton and Nobby Stiles are the guest speakers at this evening's Isle of Man Sporting and Dining Club gathering at Mount Murray.

England famously beat West Germany 4-2 after extra-time at the old Wembley stadium to lift the Jules Rimet trophy.

The trio are the latest in a long line of distinguished sporting guests brought over by the club.

Others include Sir Ian Botham, Bill Beaumont, Pat Cash, Steve Davis, Lawrence Dallaglio and Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson.
