Pickles was a dog renowned for his role in finding the stolen Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966.

The trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall, four months before the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England, but was found just seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in South Norwood, South London, by Pickles while taking a walk.[1] As a reward Pickles was allowed to lick the plates after the World Cup banquet.[citation needed]

Pickles later died by choking on his own lead whilst chasing a cat.[2]

An entirely fictional version story was told in a 2006 ITV drama written by Michael Chaplin, called Pickles: The Dog Who Won The World Cup. He was voiced by Harry Enfield. [1]
