England World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst has issued a rallying cry to the nation urging everyone eligible for a Covid vaccine to 'just get it done' to protect themselves and the country.
Sir Geoff, who famously scored a hat-trick to defeat West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final, is leading from the front again, spearheading a group of sporting legends in telling those aged over 70 to take up their invitation to have the vaccine.
He is joined by Crystal Palace and former England Manager Roy Hodgson, ex-England cricketer turned commentator David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, 1969 Wimbledon Ladies Singles Champion Ann Jones, five-time British Champion Jockey Willie Carson and 1981 Grand National winner Bob Champion CBE, who have all received their first vaccination from the NHS and are now encouraging others to follow their lead.
