Sad to say another one of the World Cup winners has gone. Just two left now, and one of those has dementia, apparently. Geoff Hurst has run out of partners to do his travelling show.

I'm pretty sure I saw him play just the once, but can't be certain. He was certainly playing for Fulham in 1967, but I don't know if he played in the 2-2 draw with Man United.

My claim to fame is that I went to primary school (briefly) with one of his sons. Unfortunately, at that age, I didn’t know George’s significance.

Shows how long ago Englands World Cup win was with almost the whole squad sadly passed away.
