WORLD Cup-winning football legend Sir Geoff Hurst is coming to Monmouth’s Blake Theatre to celebrate the 60th anniversary of his legendary 1966 Wembley final hat-trick.
The striker, who made 499 league and cup appearances for West Ham, scoring 248 goal, was also Player of the Year three times and won the FA Cup with the Hammers in 1964 and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1965.
However, it was playing for England that launched Sir Geoff as a world football icon – not only as being part of the team that won the World Cup in 1966 but also scoring that hat-trick – his third goal leading to Kenneth Wolstenholme’s immortal words: “They think it’s all over – it is now!”
His good friend and agent Terry Baker, from A1 Sporting Speakers, will be joining 84-year-old Sir Geoff – the last survivor from the team – on stage for an intimate conversation full of humour and heart as he talks about his illustrious career as a player.
Audience members will have a chance to ask questions of their own in the second half.
Sir Geoff Hurst: Last Man Standing is at The Blake Theatre on Friday, November 27.
