THE DOG THAT RESCUED WORLD CUP الكلب الذي أنقذ كأس العالم T The Apple of the Brits’ eye, The Ultimate Trophy 1966 is to be forever known as the year that England won the World Cup. However, before Bobby Moore was able to lift the trophy at Wembley, England also managed to lose the World Cup and but for a dog called Pickles, the Jules Rimet Trophy may have stayed lost forever. The story of how Pickles found the World Cup is over half a century old now but there have been some recent revelations about the theft. As you’ll read though, this is a story that has two rather unhappy endings and that excludes recent England World Cup performances. Before the tournament began, fans were given the chance to see the Jules Rimet Trophy that England would hopefully be winning. Sir Stanley Rous, the President of FIFA, agreed that the trophy, which was named after a former FIFA President could be put on display. It was put in a glass cabinet by the Stanley Gibbons stamp company as part of their Stampex exhibition at the Westminster Central Hall. It was insured for £30,000 and Rous insisted the trophy be guarded 24 hours a day. During World War II the Jules Rimet Trophy spent time in a shoe-box under a bed in order to stop the Nazis getting their hands on it and as you’ll read, that’s not the first time the World Cup ended up under someone’s bed. The Nazis did search the apartment but never looked under the bed of Italian Football Federation President Ottorino Barassi, who fearing its safety had smuggled it out of the bank where it was being held. There were actually some stories claiming that the trophy teams were playing for in 1966 wasn’t the original one. Photojournalist Joe Coyle claimed that after the trophy was sent to West Germany, it returned in 1958 and had somehow grown by 5cm and had a different base but this has never been proved. The World Cup Gets However, in England it wasn’t so lucky and on March 20, 1966 the day after it was first displayed, the Jules Rimet Trophy was found by security قُ‏ رة عين البريطانيين،‏ الجائزة الغالية ستُ‏ عرَف سنة 1966 إلى الأبد بالسنة التي فازت فيها إنجلترا بكأس العالم.‏ وبأعجوبة،‏ قبل أن يتمكن بوبي مور من رفع الكأس في ويمبلي،‏ تمكنت إنجلترا أيضاً‏ من إضاعة كأس العالم،‏ ولولا الموهبة الفذّ‏ ة لكلب يدعى بيكلز لكان كأس جول ريميه قد بقي مختفياً‏ إلى الأبد.‏ منذ أكثر من نصف قرن بدأت هذه القصة ‏"كيف وجد بيكلز كأس العالم؟“،‏ لكن مزال هناك بعض الغموض يلف السرقة.‏ كما ستقرأ،‏ هذه قصة لها نهايتان غير سعيدتان باستثناء أداء الإنكليز في مباريات كأس العالم آن ذلك الوقت.‏ قبل انطلاق البطولة،‏ حصل المشجعون على فرصة لرؤية كأس جول ريميه الذي كان من المؤمل أن تفوز بها إنجلترا.‏ وافق السير ستانلي روس،‏ رئيس الفيفا وقتها على وضع كأس العالم قيد العرض ليتسنى للجماهير تمتيع أنظارهم بهذا الكاس الأخّ‏ اذ،‏ والذي تمت تسميته تيمناً‏ بأحد رُؤساء الفيفا السابقين.‏ تم وضعه في خزانة زجاجية من قبل شركة ستانلي جيبونز كجزء من معرض ستامبكس في قاعة وست منستر المركزية وتم التأمين عليه مقابل 30،000 جنيه إسترليني وأصر السير ستانلي روس على أن يتم حراسة الكأس على مدار 24 ساعة في اليوم.‏ خلال فترة الحرب العالمية الثانية،‏ أمضى 17

You really wouldn’t have wanted to be the person who had to tell Sir Stanley Rous the news that the World Cup had been stolen would you? The following day, Joe Mears, the chairman of the English FA, received a phone call saying he’d receive a parcel at Chelsea FC. It arrived and contained the removable lining from the top of the trophy and a ransom demand for £15,000. If it wasn’t paid by Friday, then the World Cup would be melted down. Mears contacted the police and he met with the wonderfully named Detective Inspector Buggy of the Flying Squad. It was arranged to pay the ransom to a man known as ‘Jackson’ but using mainly blank paper. A meeting was arranged for Battersea Park in London and the suitcase handed over. On their way to collect the trophy from where it had been hidden, ‘Jackson’ spotted the Flying Squad van that was following them and soon after jumped out of the moving car and did a runner, well as good a runner as you can do after jumping out of a moving vehicle. He was eventually captured in a garden and identified as Charles Bletchley, a petty thief. Bletchley denied stealing the trophy and claimed he had been paid £500 by a man he knew only as "the Pole" to act as the middleman. He told the police that if they let him out on bail he could go and get it, the police refused him bail and he was charged with stealing the trophy and subsequently sentenced to two years in jail. But still the World Cup PICKLES BECAME A STAR AFTER THE CUP WAS FOUND was missing Pickles to the Rescue On March 27, David Corbett was out walking his cross-bred collie dog Pickles in Upper Norwood, south London. All of a sudden, the dog pulled him towards his neighbour’s car and there was something wrapped up in paper. Corbett was a bit concerned that it might be an IRA bomb but amazingly it turned out to be the missing Jules Rimet Trophy. It’s almost like an episode of ‘Lassie,’ you could imagine Pickles barking at his owner who replies, ‘What’s that Pickles, the World Cup is over there by that car, ok let’s have a look.’ took the World Cup to the local police. At first, they suspected that he might have something to do with the theft of the trophy, but investigations have never proved a link between him and those who did steal it and he received £6,000 as a reward for finding the World Cup. The nation rejoiced, and Sir Stanley Rous gave out a huge sigh of relief to see the trophy returned and it went back to FA HQ for safe-keeping Pickles became a star after the cup was found and he was even invited to the party held after England won the World Cup and probably scoffed down every sausage there. In the following year, Pickles got his own agent and appeared on several TV shows. Pickles was named ‘Dog of the Year’ and awarded a year of free food by pet manufacturers Spillers. . كأس جول ريميه مدة داخل صندوق أحذية تحت سرير من أجل منع النازيين من وضع أيديهم عليه،‏ وكما ستقرأ،‏ ليست هذه هي المرة الأولى التي يمكث فيها كأس العالم تحت سرير شخص ما.‏ قام النازيون بالتفتيش الشقة ولكن لم ينظروا تحت سرير رئيس اتحاد كرة القدم الإيطالي أوتورينو باراسي الذي هربه من البنك الذي كان محتجزً‏ ا فيه خشيةً‏ على سلامته.‏ كانت هناك في الواقع بعض القصص التي تد َّ عي أن الفِ‏ رَق المتبارية على ذلك الكأس في عام 1966 لم تكن تعي أنه بعيداً‏ كل البعد عن الكأس الأصلية.‏ ادعى المصور الصحفي جو كويل أنه بعد إرسال الكأس لألمانيا الغربية،‏ فإنه عاد في عام 1958 ونمى بطريقةٍ‏ ما 5 سم وله قاعدة مختلفة ولكن لم يثبت هذا أبدا.‏ و أصبحت كأس العالم مسروقة أما في 20 مارس 1966 أشاح الحظ بوجهه عن انكلترا فبعد يوم من عرضه لأول مرة،‏ وقعت الصدمة على رؤوس حراس الأمن عندما اكتفوا أن كأس جول ريميه قد أصبح في عداد المفقودين.‏ لم يكن المعرض مفتوحً‏ ا في ذلك اليوم حيث كانت القاعة تُ‏ ستخدم لخدمات الكنيسة.‏ أنت حقا لا تريد أن تكون الشخص الذي كان عليه أن يخبر السير ستانلي روس بأن كأس العالم قد سُ‏ رقت؟ في اليوم التالي،‏ تلقى جو ميرز،‏ رئيس اتحاد كرة القدم الإنجليزي،‏ مكالمة هاتفية قال فيها إنه سيحصل على طرد في نادي تشيلسي.‏ وصل الطرد محتويا ‏ًعلى البطانة القابلة للإزالة من أعلى الكأس مُ‏ رفقاً‏ بطلب فدية مقابل 15،000 جنيه إسترليني.‏ إذا لم يتم الدفع بحلول يوم الجمعة،‏ فستتم إذابة كأس العالم.‏ اتصل جو ميرز بالشرطة والتقى مع المفتش الملقب بشكل رائع بالمفتش بوجي من فرقة الفلاينج سكواد.‏ تم ترتيب دفع الفدية لرجل يُعرف باسم ‏"جاكسون“،‏ ولكن باستخدام 18
