A great read. Also a true autobiography, without the collaboration of a professional writer. Sir Geoff Hurst's '1966 And All That' is packed with detail and rich in memories of English football's finest hour. Hurst's career at West Ham along side Moore and Peters as well as covering the English national side under Ramsey are the highlights of this book.

Quite an enjoayble break from the world of fiction. A quite on time with the World Cup starting today. Geoff Hurst is on of the players that will be long remembered - a hattrick in the WC final is a special thing. Especially against the (West) Germans. Quite a lot insight into to the game of the 60s and 70s, a look into the sporting culture and star status. But most of all Hurst seems to be a nice guy, a proper model for young players.
A great insight into the only footballer to score a hat-trick in the World Cup Final.
Had to buy and read this after seeing Sir Geoff at Hay this year. A very well written and interesting read, from a genuine nice guy.
If you have any interest in football - domestic, international, European - or want to know what it must be like to be a World Cup hero, playing alongside and against football's legends, you'll love this book. I found this autobiography to be everything I hoped it would be and more. Wonderful.
