Euro 2016: England kit makers Nike trolled by Umbro after Iceland horror show in Nice

UMBRO trolled Three Lions kit suppliers Nike, saying: "England were good when we made the kits."

The shirt-makers at the time of the national side's greatest triumph in 1966 got one over on American giants Nike after the shock loss to Iceland in Nice last night.

Roy Hodgson's side suffered the ultimate humiliation after being defeated 2-1 by the European minnows.

The English company, founded in 1924, tweeted: "England were good when we made the kits..."

Good is an understatement - they briefly ruled the world.

Bobby Moore and Co donned Umbro Aztec shirts when they lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley 50 years ago.

In fact, 15 of the 16 teams in the tournament wore Umbro shirts that year, the exception being the USSR.
