Exploring the life of the World Cup winner and England footballing legend

Watch Hurst: The First and Only on BBC Select

Geoff Hurst was a supremely talented footballer and part of the only England team ever to win the World Cup in 1966.

More than half a century later he remains a legend. But, like his teammates, he was abandoned by the sport he served so well. Five years after retiring, he was jobless. Featuring contributions from stars such as David Beckham, Geoff Hurst now tells his incredible story in this compelling sports documentary.
