European Championship 1960

The inaugural European Football Championship, or UEFA European Nations Cup as it was called, utilized a knockout format that culminated in four nations qualifying for a final tournament that was hosted by France. The Soviet Union, featuring such greats as Valentin Ivanov, Igor Netto, and the legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin, ended up lifting the trophy. England declined to enter the competition, as did Italy and West-Germany.
