====Influence==== In Germany, a goal resulting from a shot bouncing off the crossbar and hitting the line is called a ''Wembley-Tor'' (Wembley Goal) due to the controversial nature of Hurst's second goal.<ref name="Williams">{{cite book |last1=Williams |first1=Tom |title=Do You Speak Football?: A Glossary of Football Words and Phrases from Around the World |date=2018 |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing |page=114}}</ref> This goal has been parodied many times. Some of the most notable include: * England's third goal was referenced in a 2006 [[Adidas]] advertisement, where English midfielder [[Frank Lampard]] takes a shot at German keeper [[Manuel Neuer]], and a similar event happens.<ref name="Williams"/> On 27 June 2010 at [[2010 World Cup|that year's World Cup]] a similar goal by Lampard was wrongly disallowed (TV replays showed the ball landing past the goal line before bouncing away) which would have levelled the second-round game against Germany 2β2 (Germany won 4β1).<ref>{{cite news |title=World Cup 2014: GLT, vanishing spray, Caxirola & Brazucas |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/27769533 |access-date=3 November 2020 |agency=BBC}}</ref> * [[Kenneth Wolstenholme]]'s commentary on the third goal that bounced on the line, "It's a goal!" was used (along with the sound of breaking glass) in the tape-looped coda of an early version of [[The Beatles]]' song "[[Glass Onion (song)|Glass Onion]]", available on the album ''[[Anthology 3]]''.<ref>[http://www.jpgr.co.uk/pcsp729.html Anthology 3 β The Beatles] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021029020252/http://www.jpgr.co.uk/pcsp729.html |date=29 October 2002 }}</ref> In August 1966 a [[England Winners stamp|special 4d stamp]] marked <small>ENGLAND WINNERS</small> was issued by the [[Royal Mail]] to celebrate the victory. It soared in value to up to 15 shillings each on the back of public enthusiasm for the victory before falling back in value when the public realised it was not rare.<ref>''Stanley Gibbons Great Britain Concise Stamp Catalogue''. 23rd edition.
