The Cambridge University Light Weight Challenge Cup: a boxing trophy first competed for in 1865 and won by "the father of modern boxing" The Marquess of Queensberry, a hallmarked Victorian silver goblet engraved with the names of winners between 1865 and 1871, height 16.5cm., 6 1/2in. The Marquess of Queensberry rules is a code of generally accepted rules in the sport of boxing. They were named so because John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry publicly endorsed the code, although they were actually written by a sportsman named John Graham Chambers. The code of rules on which modern boxing is based, the Queensberry rules were the first to mention gloves in boxing and are intended for use in both professional and amateur boxing matches, thus separating it from the less popular American Fair Play Rules, which were strictly intended for amateur matches. In popular culture the term is sometimes used to refer to a sense of sportsmanship and fair play. In 1864 he entered Magdalene College, Cambridge, which he left two years later without taking a degree. He was more distinguished in sport, and as well as boxing he played college cricket as well as running, hunting and steeplechasing.

Jimmy Greaves was one of 122 former players eligible to receive a World Cup winning medal after missing out on playing in the final tie in 1966. Coaching staff would also qualify for a medal. According to FIFA regulations in place until 1974 only players who appeared in the final were eligible for a medal, but the regulations were changed in 1978. For the first time that year World Cup winners Argentina were awarded a total of 25 gold medals for the winning squad, with the Netherlands receiving 25 silver-gilt runners-up medals. In 1966 Jimmy Greaves, who was allocated the No.8 squad number, played in all three of England's Group A matches v Uruguay, Mexico & France. He sustained a leg injury in the France match and played no further part in the tournament his place being taken by eventual hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst. Three other non-finalist members of the 22-man World Cup squad also participated at the Group stage, John Connolly v Uruguay, Terry Paine v Mexico & Ian Callaghan v France. From the quarter-final onwards Alf Ramsey left the team unaltered and so the medals on 30th July 1966 were presented to Banks, Cohen, Wilson, Stiles, J. Charlton, Moore, Ball, B. Charlton, Hurst, Peters & Hunt. The eleven England squad members who missed out on the final in 1966 received their medals from Prime Minister Gordon Brown at a reception at Downing Street on 10th June 2009. Three medals were also presented posthumously to manager Sir Alf Ramsey and his coaching staff Harold Shepherdson and Les Cocker.
