An Evening with Sir Geoff Hurst

Sir Geoff Hurst comes to Ilkley as part of his final farewell tour to talk amusingly about his illustrious West Ham and England career.

Sir Geoff made his name with club side West Ham United, with whom he made 499 league and cup appearances, scoring 248 goals. He was Player of the Year three times and won the F.A Cup with West Ham in 1964 and the European cup winner’s  cup in 1965.

However, it was playing in the national side that launched Sir Geoff as a world football icon-not only as being part of the England team that won the World Cup in 1966 but also scoring a hat trick in that final. Hence Kenneth Wolstenholme´s immortal words “They think it's all over…it is now”.

The night will conclude with a Q&A session.
