Waterstones Says

Reflecting on both the unprecedented success and significance of the 1966 World Cup-winning England team and the bittersweet aftermath of such a colossal victory, Geoff Hurst's poignant, inspiring memoir is full of anecdotes and memories about some of the nation's most iconic footballers.

The legendary 1966 World Cup hat-trick hero and now the only living player has the last word on England's greatest ever football team.

Four for England. Three for Hurst. Images of the team celebrating have taken their place in the nation's photo album. Trophy aloft, smiling into their future.

Banksy, George, Jack, Mooro, Ray, Nobby, Ballie, Bobby, Martin, Roger. Geoff's ten teammates. His old friends. They've now all gone. Heroes from an era that is slipping into sepia.

But it isn't all over. Not yet. One of them is still here, and before he goes, Geoff wanted to get down his final thoughts about 1966. He talks about Alf - his vision, his drive, his loyalty. Also his shyness, even awkwardness. About his teammates, about Greavsie - hard workers, team players, cool heads. Geoff tells their collective story, digging below the surface, reflecting on their victory, its impact on their lives. He looks back at a legacy squandered and a team uncelebrated. They will sell their medals and their iconic red shirts, while holding onto their memories, until six of them lose those too.

It was a poignant onward journey for the Boys of '66, but they achieved something that may never be repeated. Here Geoff brings them all together, one last time, to see them make history.
