Sir Geoff Hurst

Geoff Hurst secured a unique place in the history of football in 1966 when he became the first player to score a hattrick in a World Cup Final, helping England to win their first and only World Cup. He spent the vast majority of his career at WestHam United before joining Stoke City and then moving on to coaching and management. Knighted in 1998 and inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2004, Sir Geoff has cemented his place as one of the most iconic figures in English football.

Beyond the beautiful game, Sir Geoff is dedicated to raising awareness for many charitable causes, including the Alzheimer's Society, and serves as an ambassador for Sue Ryder. He lives in Gloucestershire with his wife Judith. This is his sixth book.
