Geoff Hurst's journey in football is one of historical significance and remarkable achievement, highlighted by a moment in the 1966 World Cup that forever etched his name in the annals of the sport. Today we bring his wonderful story and his concerns about a disease that killed many of his football friends.
Born in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, on December 8, 1941, Geoff grew up in a family deeply rooted in football. His father, Charlie Hurst, was a professional footballer, playing as a centre-half for clubs like Bristol Rovers, Oldham Athletic, and Rochdale. Geoff's mother, Evelyn Hopkins, came from a Gloucestershire family with German ancestry on her mother's side. As a young boy, Hurst's passion for football was evident. He even faced a fine of £1 once for disturbing his neighbor's peace by repeatedly kicking a football into their garden.
