Edwards Sports recalls history supplying 1966 World Cup goal nets

Edwards Sports, based in Bridport, Dorset, reflects on its role in key sporting events, including the 1966 World Cup final. The company, which has supplied goal nets for Wembley since its opening in 1923, played a significant part in celebrating England's victory by providing the nets used during the tournament. Founded in 1884, Edwards has also been a long-time supplier for the Wimbledon tennis tournament since its inception in 1887. Looking ahead, the firm anticipates another busy summer as it prepares for Wimbledon once again, continuing its legacy in net and ropemaking.
