My Take
For me George Cohen is inseparable from England's 1966 World Cup triumph, where he played right-back for that golden generation on home soil. What moves me most is that he spent his entire professional career at a single club, Fulham, a loyalty almost unimaginable in today's transfer-driven game. He was awarded an MBE in 1999 and later wrote his memoirs, and his nephew Ben Cohen went on to win a Rugby World Cup, so the sporting blood ran deep. Cohen passed in 2022, but I will always honor him as a one-club craftsman and a quietly faithful guardian of England's defense.
