Geoff Hurst is remembered best as the
England striker who, in the
1966 World Cup Final, scored three goals against the Germans. The eventual outcome of the game was a 4-2 win for England. There was considerable controversy (which persists until this day) regarding one of the goals in which the ball may (or may not) have crossed the goal line before being awarded by the referee after extensive consultations with his Russian linesman.
He also had a distinguished playing career, principally with the London side, [West Ham United F.C.]?.
