Happy Birthday to Geoff Hurst who was in England's winning team in the football 'World Cup' in 1966
Geoff Hurst is 68 today and knowing that, I am taken back to the 'World Cup' at Wembley in 1966. Geoff was 25 and in his prime and I was 19, and even more in my prime.
Where are they now ? The team ?
I will investigate and publish my findings on my next post.
P.S. In some respects,isn't Britain wonderful, in that men who kick balls, in the name of sport, like 'Sir Geoff' are honoured ?
Three goals -a 'hatrick' in World Cup History and here he is with that last goal :
