Norbert Peter "Nobby" Stiles (born 18 May 1942) is an English retired footballer.
He was born in Collyhurst, Manchester. Stiles played for England for five years, winning 28 caps and scoring one goal.
He played every minute of England's victorious 1966 FIFA World Cup campaign.
His best performance in an England shirt was probably the semi-final of that tournament against Portugal, where he was given the job of marking the prolific Eusébio.
His tough performance resulted in Eusébio being practically nullified for the entire game.
Stiles also played very well in the final, which England won 4–2 against West Germany.
His post-match celebration featured Stiles dancing on the Wembley pitch, holding the World Cup trophy in one hand and his false teeth in the other. Stiles played the majority of his club career for Manchester United, spending eleven years at Old Trafford, where he became renowned for his tough tackling and ball winning qualities.
With the Red Devils, he won two League titles and one European Cup.
Stiles is one of only three Englishmen, alongside Bobby Charlton and Ian Callaghan, to have won both the FIFA World Cup and European Cup.
However, Ian Callaghan was only in the squad for the 1966 FIFA World Cup and did not play in the final so did not receive a medal at the time but received one later. He also had short spells with Middlesbrough and Preston North End.
