| This Sir Geoff Hurst signed photo captures him in action especially when striking the ball for the controversial third England Goal in the 1966 Final. The 30 minutes of extra time in the 1966 World Cup final would shape the rest of Hurst's life. In the first period, Ball flicked a pass inside to Hurst who struck a strong shot towards goal, falling backwards as he did so. The ball beat the goalkeeper, hit the crossbar and bounced down before Wolfgang Weber, scorer of the Germans' second goal, headed it out for a corner. England's players wanted a goal; the Germans were just as adamant that the ball had not fully crossed the line. The referee, unsure, decided to consult his linesman, Tofik Bakhramov, on the right flank who had waved his flag to get the official's attention. The linesman, from Azerbaijan, signalled that the ball had crossed the line and the goal was given. The Sir Geoff Hurst signed colour 1966 photo is a majestic gift for all football enthusiast.
