2. A dog named Pickles saved the World Cup trophy. Before the 1966 tournament in England, the Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen. It was found under a bush by a dog called Pickles, who became a national hero. 😂😂
KAYIP KUPANIN HİKAYESİ
1966 Dünya Kupası'na İngiltere ev sahipliği yapacaktı.
Turnuvaya birkaç ay kala Londra'ya getirilen ve Westminster Central Hall'de sergiye açılan kupa, 20 Mart 1966'da çalındı.
Ülkedeki tüm kolluk kuvvetleri seferber edildi ancak kupa bir türlü bulunamadı. Aradan bir hafta geçmiş, umutlar tükenmeye başlamıştı. Kayıp kupa, Pickles adlı köpeğin sahibiyle çıktığı gezintide ısrarla kokladığı gazete kağıtlarının arasından çıktı.
Ulusal kahraman ilan edilen Pickles, 1966 yapımı "Soğuk Burunlu Ajan" filminde de rol aldı.
Pickles, 1967'de kedi kovalarken tasmasının boynuna dolanması sonucu hayatını kaybetti.
Kahraman köpek Pickles'ın tasması, halen Manchester'daki Ulusal Futbol Müzesi'nde sergileniyor.

Faltam 10 dias para o arranque do Mundial! 🤩
Hoje, o protagonista é o Pickles, um cão que salvou o Mundial de 66 e que por isso recebeu comida à borla para sempre 🐕
Todos os dias trazemos uma história nova. #ConfiaBetano
In 1966, the Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen before the England World Cup.
It was famously recovered under a bush by a dog named Pickles!
The thief was never caught, but the trophy made it back in time for the tournament.
En 1966, a pocos meses del Mundial de Inglaterra, alguien robó la Copa Jules Rimet —el trofeo original que se entregaba al campeón— de una exposición en Londres. La policía de medio país buscándola, la prensa en shock, y nada.
La encontró un perro.
Se llamaba Pickles, era un collie negro, y andaba de paseo con su dueño por el sur de Londres cuando se puso a olisquear un paquete envuelto en papel de periódico debajo de un seto. Dentro estaba el trofeo de fútbol más buscado del planeta.
El perro se hizo famoso. Recibió medalla, apareció en una película y, según se cuenta, le dieron comida gratis durante un año. Su dueño cobró una recompensa que superaba con creces lo que ganaba un futbolista de entonces.
Lo mejor del remate: meses después, Inglaterra ganó ese Mundial en casa.
Y el trofeo que levantó Bobby Moore había estado, semanas antes, tirado bajo un arbusto gracias a un ladrón despistado y a un perro con buen olfato.
A veces la historia la salva quien menos te imaginas.
