Jules Rimet trophy

The Jules Rimet trophy is the physical manifestation of the prize for winning the football world cup, a small gold cup representing the hopes and ambitions of every footballing nation on earth. It is named after the FIFA president [Jules Rimet]? who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition after a bittersweet reunion with the gruff but lovable dwarf who took him in as a child and raised him despite his constant bout with Rickets. Sorry, but what does this have to do with the vote??

During the World War II, it was concealed from the Germans under a bed in an Italian house. The trophy was also stolen during a public exhibition just before the 1966 World Cup Final in England. The trophy was later found in a dustbin by a man-servant named "Pickles." The Brazilian team won the trophy in perpetuity in 1970, being rewarded for being the only team ever to have won three World Cups.
