Product Description

Product Description

In this lavishly illustrated commemorative book, England's World Cup hero, Sir Geoff Hurst, describes how he and his team mates took on and defeated the football world in the glorious summer of 1966. He relives all the action, on and off the pitch, as the England team embarked on the quest to capture the sport's biggest prize.Sir Geoff has provided photographs from his personal collection and these, together with numerous personal reminiscences from a host of celebrities - including Terry Wogan, Dickie Bird, Lulu, Sir Jackie Stewart, David Essex, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Henry Cooper and Glenda Jackson - and flashbacks to the films, news events and music of that year, brilliantly capture the time and place of England's greatest sporting achievement.


About the Author

Geoff Hurst was born near Manchester in 1941. He began his career at West Ham, where he scored 248 goals in 499 appearances, before moving to Stoke City and then West Bromwich Albion. For England he won 49 caps between 1966 and 1972, scoring 24 goals. From 1979-81 he managed Chelsea before leaving the game to develop his business interests. In 1998 he was knighted for his services to football, and he travels the globe as an ambassador for English football.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time travel back to 1966 in words and pictures, 24 Jun 2006
By Steve Brown (Essex England) - See all my reviews
A lot of people have jumped on the 1966 band wagon but here is something slightly different lots of unseen images and the flavour of the match, the day, the year. I feel this and the 1966 and all that book work well together. If you want signed copies or signitures of other members of the 1966 team or even want to book Sir Geoff or others members of the team call his agent Dave Davies on 01702 202036 email dave@football1966.com

5.0 out of 5 stars The memories come flooding back., 7 Jun 2006
By A. Thorpe "crossan8" (Cheadle Cheshire.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent well written as it was at the time account of England's greatest football moment, great pictures, Geoff Hurst comes across as a very self depreciating sort of person despite the fact that he is the only player ever to have scored a 'hat trick' in a World cup final.............highly recommended read.
