Proud Jimmy Ball lifted the Alan Ball Memorial Cup at stadium:mk on Sunday after England beat the World 4-2.

The son of the late England legend was presented with the trophy by World Cup hat-trick hero Sir Geoff Hurst after a thoroughly entertaining match at the new home of the Milton Keynes Dons.

Goals from Kevin Campbell, Les Ferdinand, a spectacular effort from Rob Lee and a penalty from competition winner Mark Baker fired England to victory - ironically by the same scoreline that Ball and co famously beat Germany in the 1966 World Cup Final.

Italian duo Lorenzo Amoruso and Benito Carbone hit first-half goals for the World side but they were unable to break the spirit of '66 as England, captained by Dons manager Paul Ince, ran out winners.

Carbone gave the World the lead early on, jabbing the ball past Dave Beasant after seeing his initial effort hit the crossbar.

England responded with a fine finish from Campbell, driving Graham Le Saux's cut-back into the top corner for the equaliser.

Former WBC Heavyweight champion Frank Bruno was a crowd favourite at the Alan Ball Memorial Cup.

But they went into half-time trailing when Amoruso was given space to run through midfield before firing a low shot out of Beasant's reach.

England took over though in the second period, Ferdinand netting another equaliser from England rugby star Ben Cohen - nephew of '66 World Cup winner George.

Lee gave England the lead for the first time, curling home a beauty from 25 yards, before Baker was allowed to finish the job following a foul on Le Saux.
