Football's Greatest With Jeff Stelling

Күн бұрын

Sir Geoff Hurst is with Jeff Stelling on the pod this week to talk about his greatest England matches.
They cover the 1966 World Cup, including the feisty win over Argentina, how he discovered he was playing ahead of Jimmy Greaves in the final, scoring the hat-trick against West Germany that made him a legend and which team-mate ended up in someone’s garden on the night they celebrated England’s men’s greatest ever success on a football field.
He also discusses what he believes is the worst decision ever in international football (no, not that one), why VAR makes him angry, almost joining Manchester United, walking football with Harry Kane and whether he thinks the current England side will win something in the coming years.
Football's Greatest is a Folding Pocket production with BBC Studios.

This is Football's Greatest with Jeff Stelling, a weekly podcast where the legendary host sits down with icons of the sport - one on one - to talk about those who made a difference in the beautiful game from a players’ perspective: the top keepers, the toughest defenders, the silkiest midfielders and the deadliest strikers.
The show will also look at those who had great influence off the pitch too - the successful managers, the funniest team-mates and the most impressive leaders in the dressing room - and pay homage to indelible moments from the biggest competitions like the Premier League, Champions League and the World Cup.
Broken down into two individual episodes with each guest, Football’s Greatest will take you inside the dressing rooms of some of the best soccer teams the world has ever seen. You will hear stories that surprise you, that make you laugh out loud and that you will be thinking of and telling people about for days after.

Fully agree with Hursty that VAR is really really bad for the game of football! Hate it, hate it, hate it! Yes, some critical goals have been given thanks to VAR, but the stoppages disrupting the flow of the game are NOT worth it!

I think so yes. Tough call but how many goals are not disallowed and allowed using VAR that pundits scratch their heads over? Overall, far more problems caused by VAR than solved by it.

Geoff will always be a special man as he helped me recover after a burst appendix operation when I was 9 years old… I was very poorly ( touch and go apparently ) my dad read that he was coming to my home town to open a sports shop. He wrote to the shop and Geoff dropped off a personally signed picture and left it at the hospital reception ( as he had to get back to London ). Imagine my reaction to receive this act of kindness….My mood changed, I recovered and finally got to thank Geoff personally at his theatre event when he did a sports evening at Cheltenham Town Hall. An incredible, humble man who is always so modest when talking about his career.

Problem England had with Greaves is the bulk of his goals came in friendlies. Twenty-seven goals in friendlies, 13 goals in Home Championships and only four goals in European and World Cup qualifiers and finals (WC62-66; Euro64) and three of those were against Luxembourg in WC62 qualifiers.
