The 2018 World Cup in Russia kicks off in just three months time, but who else has claimed the most famous trophy in world football?

20Uruguay | 1930Played in front of almost 70,000 spectators, the 1930 World Cup final was contested by the two 1928 Olympic finalists, Uruguay and Argentina, in Montevideo. Despite trailing 2-1 at half time, it would be Uruguay who lifted the Jules Rimet following a 4-2 victory in what remains as one of the most pulsating finals on the world stage.Advertisement19Italy | 1934Like Uruguay four years earlier, Italy went into the final of the World Cup on home soil and were forced to turn the game around after falling behind. In 1934, Czechoslovakia returned to Rome to lock horns with the hosts having beaten Germany 3-1 in the semi-final in the same ground, the Stadio Nazionale, and took a second-half lead through Antonin Puc. The Italians would strike late in the game, however, and go on to win the game in extra time through an Angelo Schiavio goal.18Italy | 1938

Reigning champions Italy entered the 1938 France World Cup amongst the favourites to claim the trophy and picked up an opening victory against Norway on their road to the final. They would then dump hosts France out of the competition before beating Brazil in the semi-finals, ahead of their showdown against Hungary in Paris. Gino Colaussi and Silvio Piola scored twice each to deliver a second World Cup trophy for Italy under manager Vittorio Pozzo with a 4-2 result.

Unlike previous World Cups, the 1950 winner was determined by a final group stage, with the usual knockout stage replaced by a round-robin format between the four remaining teams. Brazil were one point ahead of Uruguay going into the match in Rio and needed only to avoid defeat to claim the title of world champions, but would go on to lose 2-1. The scorer of the winning goal, Alcides Ghiggia, was the last surviving player from the game, passing away exactly 65 years after the final in 2015 at the age of 88.
