Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth · Sir Geoff Hurst · 17 Jul 2026 podcast

That was only about the second time a club won a European trophy, predominantly with English players.

So they were playing against a really tough German side, not Bayern Munich today, but a team called Munich 1860, winning that 2-0.

So it was incredible.

And then the next year, 1966, we go to the World Cup.

And unbelievably, we provide three players, the captain in Bobby Moore...

And the two goal scorers from West Ham, Martin Peters and myself.

Martin, my next door neighbour for four years.

Just absolutely stunning.

He was an absolutely brilliant coach.

I don't think probably, discipline wasn't quite as strict in those days.

You'd hear about people drinking and it wasn't a discipline.

I think we had one or two players that probably would pop out for a beer on maybe a Friday.

I don't think he was, he was more a coach, not a boss in those terms.

But the work we did, the coaching we did, the goals we scored that we'd worked on, I look back, just unbelievable the work that he did.

I lived in digs.

On your own, age 15?

On my own, 15, 16.

I mean... Mr and Mrs Foskett, about 200 or 300 yards from West Ham's entrance.

Regularly took boys in, yes.

Mrs Foskett.
