About this audio guide
This guide to the National Football Museum in Manchester follows a black and white collie called Pickles and his owner, a Thames lighterman, through a London spring in nineteen sixty-six, when the World Cup trophy went missing months before England hosted the tournament. It begins on an ordinary walk on Beulah Hill and a package lying by a neighbour's car. Police suspicion and a dog's sudden celebrity both turn up in the story.
