Ever wonder what a Sherlock Holmes and World Cup crossover would look like? Well, one essentially already happened back in 1966, with Geoff Hurst, Bobby Moore and a mixed breed collie named Pickles as the stars.

What followed was a headline-grabbing investigation, a ransom note, an undercover mission and an arrest ... all without ever finding the golden trophy.
