Come and meet the legend that is Sir Geoff Hurst on the day before the 2026 World Cup begins in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

As the last remaining member of the team that played in the final, Sir Geoff is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the greatest day in English football history.
Listen to how England became world champions, stories about all the greats such as Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton, and how Sir Geoff engraved himself permanently in sporting history.
You will enjoy photos with the legend, printed and framed to go home with, complimentary drinks through-out, a three course lunch, fun and games and a good old chat with the great man.
