It was his ability to read the game and excellent tactical awareness that allowed the flair players like Best and Charlton to do their stuff. His famous victory jig at Wembley in front of the television cameras after collecting his winners' medal in the 1966 World Cup Final, showed his love and excitement for the game of football.
