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

Playing, certainly in those early days, under 10s, under 11s, in our first house in Chelmsford.

We played football in the road, across the streets.

We lived in a cul-de-sac, which obviously not as many cars anyway in those days.

and two or three other neighbours played two against two across the road in those early days.

That was my teaching in football.

I don't think so, no.

I don't think he was that kind of parent that would lean on you or talk about football.

I think he was that kind of parent that didn't push you too much or unnecessarily push you.

I was a good boy.

I think, by and large, I was fairly disciplined.

I wasn't...

A wild lad anyway.

I don't think they necessarily needed to be too disciplined with me or too strict with me.

Ron Green was an absolutely brilliant coach years ahead of his time.

He was a fantastic coach.

And some of the stuff we did under him at West Ham, winning the Cup in 64.

We hadn't been at Wembley since it was built 100 years ago.

We win the FA Cup in 64.

And then we win the Cup Winners' Cup in 1965.
