World Cup Sculpture, Bronze sculpture in Newham, England.

The World Cup Sculpture stands 5 meters tall at the junction of Barking Road and Green Street, depicting England players celebrating their 1966 victory.

West Ham United Football Club and Newham Council commissioned this monument in 2003, with Prince Andrew conducting the official unveiling ceremony.

The bronze figures represent Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters, three West Ham players who contributed to England's World Cup triumph.

The sculpture remains accessible near the former Boleyn Ground stadium, with multiple transport connections available through Upton Park station.

Philip Jackson created this four-tonne monument using photographs taken during a twelve-second period following the 1966 World Cup final match.
