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

Every single thing I look at about the past is just with great amusement.

And I often say everything in football has changed.

every single thing apart from the goalposts it's still it's still white still same shape um and and same size every single aspect of the game of football at every level has changed unbelievably uh different can you remember the first time a game of yours was reported and you were mentioned or television program where you were noticed

Not really.

I look back and some of the cuttings I've sent, you know, when I finished playing, there's lots of cuttings that I... Did you keep them or do your parents keep them?

My parents kept them and I kept them and then were handed over to me.

So I've got quite a bit of paperwork at home of various games I played in and the results and so on.

I'd probably say I read them with amusement, you know, to look back and see games at that time.

I think probably he's just interrupting.

I think the sad thing about Bestie is that because of his indiscipline lifestyle, he virtually finished about 27, which for most players is really about the peak of your football career.

That's still a bit pretty good.

Yes, with the medical assistance they get today.

So was there any of that for you?

No, not at all.

Prior to my time, the thing you would eat before a game would be steak.

And then the medical people said that's probably the worst thing you can eat before a game because it's the least digestible.

Because they thought it would build you up.

The idea was steak will make a man of you.

But of course, three hours of all the games, probably the worst thing.

So that started changing in the early 60s.
