"Pickles"...the most famous dog in the world of football

The stolen World Cup was found in 1966 after the British police were unable to find a trace of it Sunday - 24 Jumada al-Thani 1439 AH - March 11, 2018 AD Issue No. [14348] London: Scott Murray

In March of 1966, the World Cup was stolen in the British capital, London, a few months before the start of the World Cup; This caused the FA officials in a state of panic and confusion, and they issued a statement saying: “The FA expresses its deep regret over this unfortunate incident, an incident that will inevitably lead to questioning the FA, and in this The country as a whole.” In fact, this statement was correct in the last sentence, as other countries quickly questioned Britain's ability to protect the most expensive trophy in world football, and the honorary president of the Finnish Football Association, Erich von Frenkel, said: "I am very angry." What happened!”, while the president of the Brazilian Sports Confederation, Abrin Tebet, was even more blunt and said: “Even Brazilian thieves love football, and they would never commit such sacrilege! This would never have happened if the World Cup had been in Brazil.” But what happened next was that the World Cup was stolen from Brazil in 1983 in the most eloquent response to Abreen's blunt comments. However, you can understand the feelings of anger that were there at the time. In retrospect, security arrangements were not sufficient to protect the 12-inch gold Jules Rimet trophy, set meticulously on a large piece of lapis lazuli. The FA agreed to display the trophy in a stamp gallery in Westminster Central Hall (the palace where members of Parliament meet) on the condition that the trophy be displayed in a glass case and guarded for 24 hours. There was no sense of anxiety while arrangements were in full swing to host the eighth FIFA World Cup. All conditions were met with meticulousness. "Our instructions were to put the cup under personal observation, certainly during the time the gallery is open, during the day," said gallery president Cecil Richardson. We had two goalkeepers standing next to the cup the whole time.” Believing that the cup would not be stolen when the exhibition was closed, the guards did not stand by the cup on the morning of Sunday 20 March and left it unattended. Although mass was held in another part of the building, the stamp gallery itself was closed. In addition, there was only a wooden plank across the door at the back of the hall and a small lock on the facade, as if these security measures were enough to protect the most precious trophy in the world of the world's number one popular game! On the regular inspection tour at 11 am that day was The cup is in place, but by the second inspection at midday the cup was completely gone. The plank was found lying on the floor along with two nails that were holding it to the wall, and the lock on the facade was also broken. One of the guards said he saw a stranger "thin with black hair and thin lips" circling the hall just after 11 a.m. The head of Elsa-Guard Security Services, the company hired by the fair to guard the World Cup, insisted that Her guard was in his place "right next to the glass cage". But when pressed, he kept evading and said, "Look guys, don't try to tie me to geographical details." Richardson, the gallery's director, also insisted that "nothing went wrong, the cup was just stolen", noting philosophically that "there is room for human error in all of us, and perhaps a little human error." Equally comical. "We have the most intelligent detectives in the Metropolitan Police," said Chief Inspector of Crime Prevention, Patterson. The World Cup organizers hope that will be the case. A state of confusion and confusion pervaded everything in London. Lots of rewards have been announced for anyone who helps find the lost World Cup, with Gillette Corporation announcing a reward of £500, and Topless & Harding Company of £3,000. Walter Max, a London orthopedic doctor who has treated many footballers for more than a quarter of a century, announced a reward of £150 in gold. Tommy Trinder, chairman of Fulham, has promised £1,000 to anyone lucky to return the trophy to him. Meanwhile, the Football Association chief, Joe Myers, was called on Monday March 21 by a person named Jackson asking him for £15,000 in exchange for the trophy. Return the stolen cup. Jackson asked for the money from Myers at a meeting on Friday, 25 March, and would return the cup to him the next day. Unfortunately, the great stress that Merz was under at that time led to him having an angina pectoris, and he was bedridden on the day of the meeting. Therefore; In his place, Inspector and Detective Lynn Bogey went to meet Jackson, who did not notice that Boogie's briefcase, which was supposed to be full of banknotes, contained mainly scraps of old newspapers. But he noticed a car nearby watching what was happening, and he tried to escape but was arrested, and it turned out that his real name was Edward Beechley, a trader from Camberwell, London, who had previously been convicted in the case of rotten beef. Beechley was accused of stealing the trophy, but he flatly denied it, claiming that a man called "The Bull" had paid him £500 to act as a go-between. Brown at the baggage counter in Charing Cross, central London. But then it turned out to be a hoax. Therefore; The question that reverberated across Britain and the world was: Where is the World Cup? There were no clues to finding the missing cup, except for a 26-year-old man named David Corbett who was frantically searching for a booth to make a phone call to see if his brother had given birth while dragging his dog Pickles with him. The dog started smelling something unusual and headed for it. "I noticed he was smelling something near the road," Corbett says. I looked down and saw the cup. It was wrapped in newspaper. I picked it up and it was heavy. I tore off the end of the parcel and saw the base of the cup, tore off the other end and saw the golden cup! I didn't realize until then that it was the World Cup. I went back to the base and saw the words “Brazil 1962” written on it, and that’s when I realized it was the World Cup.” Corbett rushed home and told what had happened to his wife and they both went to the police station and reported what had happened, and Corbett insisted that "his little dog Pickles saw the trophy first." , secretary of the National Dog Defense League, at a lavish party at the Kensington Hotel. He also received a silver plate of £53 as a gift from the hotel staff, in addition to giving him free food for a whole year, and he also starred in the movie "The Spy with the Cold Nose" or (The Spy with the Cold Nose). In that film, he was paid more than twice that of the average dog. After a little longer, Mears said Corbett was the one worthy of the rewards announced for finding the lost trophy. At a time when every England player who won the World Cup in 1966 received a financial reward of 1,360 pounds! Unfortunately, Myers did not see England star Bobby Moore lift the World Cup; Because he passed away on the eve of the tournament at the age of 61. It would be hard to remember him only for his unfortunate role in this failure, and it suffices to know that he was the man in charge of security for former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's secret operations room at Whitehall during the war, and he did the job well. Also early, as he died while chasing a cat in 1967, and as for the World Cup itself, it was stolen again in 1983 from the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation, after Brazil got it forever after winning the championship for the third time in 1970, and no finds were found. The cup again, and the thief may have melted it! But what we would like to know now is the reaction of the former CBF President Abrin, who said: The World Cup would not have been stolen if it had been in Brazil! March 20 with the theft of the championship cup in the absence of security by the English police, who imposed a state of emergency within the means of transport and communication throughout London to find the cup. Sadness descended on the streets of London after the theft of the most expensive cup in the world before the start of the tournament; What sparked a state of panic within the English Football Association, which fell into a major impasse with the International Football Association (FIFA) after this incident.
