 steve, I've spoken to Jules Rimet to some young people and they didn't know about it. Luckily there's one person who remembers it: YOU!

 I have to admit my ignorance, too, but then I know very little about the sport! Great picture, though!

 Thanks for your comments, Brazil won the trophy outright in 1970 so a new trophy had to be commissioned, the original trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered!

 The cup was made of sterling silver, plated with 24c gold and decorated with lapis lazuli

 The figure of a woman on the cup is Nike the Greek goddess of victory.

 So a real mystery, somewhere out there in a collection maybe is the Jules Rimet trophy...priceless and missing!!!

 Don't worry Steve. It's very hard to know how to react in such a situation. I also felt confused. We DO want to help but we never know who's kidding or not. Don't worry.
