Show Notes
Sir Geoff Hurst is with Jeff on the pod this week to talk about his greatest ever England football matches.
They cover the 1966 World Cup, including the feisty win over Argentina, how he discovered he was playing ahead of Jimmy Greaves in the final, scoring the hat-trick against West Germany that made him a legend and which team-mate ended up in someone’s garden on the night they celebrated England’s men’s greatest ever success on a football field.
He also discusses what he believes is the worst decision ever in international football (not that one), why VAR makes him angry, almost joining Manchester United, walking football with Harry Kane and whether he thinks the current England side will win something in the coming years.
Football's Greatest is a Folding Pocket production with BBC Studios.
