Saturday 29th October 2016 George Cohen Walk of Fame presentation Fulham and World Cup 66 Legend George Cohen MBE honoured at Craven Cottage On June 24th 2016 the National Football Museum in Manchester in association with NFM Artist in Residence, Paul Trevillion and You Are the Ref.com, launched the world’s first Football Walk of Fame on the walkway outside the museum – a permanent tribute to the legends of the beautiful game To celebrate the fifty-year anniversary of England’s World Cup win, the boys of ’66 were among the first inductees to be honored. Their portraits by world renowned iconic sports artist Paul Trevillion have been immortalized in bronze plaques; among them former Fulham F.C. player and national hero George Cohen. Artist Paul Trevillion considers it an honour and a privilege to be involved in the presentation of the George Cohen plaque to a player he saw playing many times for Fulham and England. Remembers Trevillion, “Cohen never played a bad game, he was Mr Consistency – never guilty of a careless pass. One of the reasons why he featured in every game when England won the 1966 World Cup.” National Football Museum Director Dr Kevin Moore said: ‘George is part of an elite group of players who have won football’s greatest prize, it's natural that he should be one of the first to be presented with a place on the nationwide Football Walk of Fame.’ |
