What does 'Jules Rimet still gleaming' mean in Three Lions?
xCruzo Brief
What does “Jules Rimet still gleaming” mean in Three Lions? The phrase refers to the original World Cup trophy, lifted by England legend Sir Bobby Moore after England’s 1966 victory over West Germany. The trophy was named for Jules Rimet, the third FIFA president, who served from 1921 to 1954 and helped drive the first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930. Rimet died in 1956 at age 83, after which the trophy was renamed in his honor. The line is still debated because the trophy was allegedly stolen from a display case at the Brazilian FA headquarters in 1984, and it was also stolen before England’s 1966 win, prompting a police investigation before it was later found by a dog.
