Geoff Hurst
BOOK LAUNCH: Last Boy of ‘66
‘And here comes Hurst! They think it’s all over… It is now.’*
This is an unmissable chance to hear from the legendary 1966 World Cup hat-trick hero, and now the only living player from that squad, as he has the last word on England’s greatest ever football team.
It was a poignant journey for the Boys of ’66, but they achieved something that may never be repeated. Geoff will look back at a legacy squandered and a team uncelebrated as he tells their collective story, relives the golden era in which he played and offers his views on the modern game.
*1966 FIFA World Cup final as Hurst scores the fourth goal for England against Germany.
Sir Geoff will be in conversation with Festival patron, author, broadcaster and English former rugby union footballer Brian Moore.
