The [[1966 World Cup]] was held in England. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Changing of the Guard (audio story)|Changing of the Guard]]'') In [[March]] of that year, the Jules Rimet trophy was stolen by [[Goldsmith (This Sporting Life)|a goldsmith]]. He stole the trophy to get gold to repair an alien ship that crashed. The [[First Doctor]], [[Steven Taylor]], and [[Dodo Chaplet]] found the trophy and helped the aliens leave Earth. The Doctor left the trophy in a bag in a street and it was discovered a few minutes later. Prior to this event, Steven had never heard of the World Cup.

During the 1966 World Cup's final match between England and [[West Germany]], [[Joseph Galloway]], who possessed the [[Blessing Star]], watched the match, and the jewel started to respond to his fervent wish for England's victory over Germany. As he watched the final, the [[First Doctor]], fresh from his victory over [[WOTAN]], found him. The [[Time Lord]] had been tracking down the Star so as to tie up loose ends from his last visit to England. To his dismay, he found the Star too late. By then, the Star had started to overload, taking in not just the rag and bones man's wishes, but those of people all over England. The Star allowed England to make a very close shot into the German goal, but no more. It exploded, overwhelmed by the hopes of an entire nation. England went on to win, but without any further help from the Star.

In [[2050]], the [[New Wembly Space Stadium]] had what appeared to be the England [[2010 World Cup]] team playing. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] saw from the match programme that the England team was borrowed from the past by the [[Chronos Corporation]]. With a team of computerised robots playing in opposition the Doctor investigated as the eleven players from the England squad walked onto the pitch. Behind the scenes the Doctor used his [[psychic paper]] to pass himself and [[Amy Pond|Amy]] off as laundry service to gain access to the England changing room. The Doctor soon recognised a perception field generator with a big on / off lever. Without hesitation the Doctor turned it off and the players on the pitch were revealed to be multi-tentacled purple alien players.
