As everyone says, the word “legend” is for once truly appropriate. As much for his qualities as a human being ( humility being the key ) as well as his abilities as a footballer.
RIP equally appropriate and he died a truly rich man which is about being a loved member of a family all around him ( not the financial thing as that means nowt in the end).
Only Geoff left of the 1966 team now.

Must have been around 1975/6 I saw him play at Brighton when he was player-manager of Preston. By then he had no pace and didn't do anything spectacular but he ran the show with a calm authority and they won 4-0. I feel privileged to have seen him play, along with our own true legends of the game.

Legend is an overused word in football but he truly was.
The most famous English footballer of all time all over the world.
49 goals in 106 England games for a midfielder is crazy along with 249 in 750 odd Man U games
A class act
RIP

Sir Bobby still holds the record for England goals from open play if you take off Kane's 21 or so penalties!

I saw him play a game for Newcastle in about 1979. Hit the post from 45 yards. Brilliant

The majority of the older generation will tell you he was the greatest player to ever play for England even above our own beloved Bobby Moore.
I'll take their word for it whilst knowing the world is a worse place without both legendary Bobby's now in it.
RIP Bobby you comb over legend.

Best, Law and Charlton, what a Trinity, Everton had Ball, Kendall and Harvey but we had ours, Hurst, Moore and Peters. Out of all those only Denis Law, Colin Harvey and Geoff Hurst are still with us.

Didnt matter who you supported, he was an absolute hero to kids in the 60's and 70's. The likes of him and Morro stand a million miles away from todays players in terms of attitude and class.
RIP.
