Jules Rimet Trophy was the unique prize for successful the World Cup. Originally known as simply the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the FIFA President Jules Rimet who in 1929 handed a vote to initiate the competition. Designed by Abel Lafleur and made of gold plated sterling silver on a blue base of lapis lazuli, it stood 35 cm excessive and weighed 3.8 kg. It was in the shape of an octagonal cup, supported by a winged determine representing Nike, the traditional Greek goddess of victory.

Simply earlier than the 1966 World Cup Final in England the trophy was stolen throughout a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall, but was discovered just seven days later, wrapped in newspaper at the backside of a suburban backyard hedge in Norwood, South London, by a canine named “Pickles”. As a safety measure, FIFA secretly manufactured a reproduction of the trophy for use within the put up-match celebrations. The reproduction was additionally used on subsequent events until 1970. The replica was sold at an public sale in 1997 for $425,015.There were many replicas on eBay at that time.
