It depicts a famous victory scene photographed after the final, held at the old Wembley Stadium in London, featuring Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters and Ray Wilson. It was the first and only time England had won the World Cup, and England captain Moore is pictured held shoulder high, holding the Jules Rimet Trophy aloft. Jointly commissioned by Newham Council and West Ham United, the statue stands at the junction of Barking Road and Green Street, near the former location of the Boleyn Ground. It commemorates West Ham's contribution to the victory, with Moore, Hurst and Peters having all been West Ham players at the time of the 1966 World Cup. Sculpted by the Royal Sculptor Philip Jackson, it was unveiled in 2003 by Prince Andrew, president of the Football Association. Jackson went on to also sculpt the statue of Bobby Moore unveiled at the new Wembley when it opened in 2007. StatueThe work, titled by Jackson as The Champions or The World Cup Sculpture, is a one-and-a-half times life-size bronze piece, {{convert|16|ft|m}} tall, weighing four tonnes.[1][2][3] It stands in a prominent location at the junction of Barking Road (the A124) and Green Street in the London Borough of Newham, close to the former home stadium of West Ham, the Boleyn Ground (commonly called Upton Park).[4] InspirationThe statue was inspired by the victory scenes in the immediate aftermath of the 1966 World Cup final. Moore, Hurst, Peters and Wilson had just been part of the England side which defeated West Germany in a famous 4-2 extra time victory over Germany in the final held on home soil, at the old 1923 built Wembley stadium (since replaced by the new Wembley Stadium opened in 2007). In that final, Moore was the team captain and a central defender, while Wilson served as full back alongside him. Peters in midfield, and Hurst as one of the strikers, were the England goalscorers on the day of the final, with Hurst scoring the first goal in the first half, Peters scoring in the second half, and Hurst scoring two more in extra time to complete a famous World Cup hat-trick and secure victory. Jackson used as his subject material a series of photographs taken during a 12-second period after the game.[3] In a scene described by the Football Association as "one of the enduring post-match images", Moore was pictured holding the Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy above his head, while he himself is being held shoulder high by Hurst and Wilson, while Peters completes the scene.[3][7] Jackson exercised some artistic license to not depict Wilson's expression entirely accurately, as he had been grimacing due to taking much of Moore's weight, stating "I didn't think he would mind".[3] Wilson, described by the FA as a "normally reserved" man, later said of the events depicted, "Nearly all the other players were celebrating around the pitch and they needed someone to help lift Bobby, Otherwise I would not have been there, believe me." HistoryCommissioningThe statue was commissioned jointly by West Ham United and Newham London Borough Council, where the club resides.[1][2] At the time of the final, Moore, Hurst and Peters were all West Ham players, while Wilson was with Everton F.C.[3] The statue was the idea of Newham councillor Graeme Cambage. He said of the project after the unveiling, "After Bobby Moore died, I thought there ought to be a statue of him but it's taken a long time to realise my dream".[3] The statue cost £725,000 in all, with £400,000 coming from a Government grant, and the bulk of the remainder from the football club.[3] The cost included associated street improvements.[2] Contributions also came from the Green Street Single Regeneration Budget, the Arts Council for England, and Arts & Business.[4] ProductionThe project was announced on 18 October 2001 by Newham Council leader, Sir Robin Wales and West Ham chairman Terry Brown, during a ceremony at Newham Town Hall where Hurst, Peters and Wilson viewed a miniature model of the proposed statue.[2] The statue itself took a year to complete.[3] UnveilingThe statue was unveiled on 28 April 2003 by Prince Andrew, Duke of York, president of the Football Association.[3] The plan to have the Duke of York unveil the statue was announced on 24 February 2003, on the tenth anniversary of Moore's death from cancer, aged 51.[20] Hurst, Peters and Wilson were joined by Moore's widow Stephanie at the unveiling.[7] In the midst of a public campaign to give Moore the recognition of a British honour, rarely given posthumously, Prince Andrew inadvertently referred to Moore as "Sir Bobby" during the ceremony.[22] ReceptionPaul Hayward, writing in The Daily Telegraph in 2003, described it as "stunning", and that it "radiates golden light and transforms a mundane road junction into a shrine both to England's finest hour and West Ham's contribution to the game in these isles".[23]Mick Dennis writing for The Daily Mirror was critical of the work, stating the statues did not resemble the players.[24]See also
