Sir Geoff Hurst reveals his 'extreme sadness' whenever he sees pictures of England's 1966 World Cup team... with hat-trick hero, 82, the only surviving member of Sir Alf Ramsey's side

Sir Geoff Hurst has spoken of the 'extreme sadness' he feels when he sees a picture of England's 1966 World Cup winners - with the hat-trick hero now the only surviving member.

Hurst famously scored three as Sir Alf Ramsey's side beat West Germany 4-2 at Wembley to win the national men's team's only major trophy 58 years ago.

The death of Sir Bobby Charlton at the age of 86 last October following a battle with dementia left Hurst - who spent the bulk of his career at West Ham - as the only remaining hero of 1966.
