Pietersen was included in the England squad a few months before the World Cup. Coach Alfred Ramsey’s confidence was as good as ever. Geoff Hearst returned to England after falling behind Helmut Holler in the final against West Germany. In the 76th minute Alan Hearst’s shot from the corner of the ball hit the opponent right in front of Peters. He led England to half-time from 8 yards away.
