FIFA World Cup Final 1966 - England 4 - 2 West Germany.
A framed signed photograph featuring two legends of English football: Sir Geoff Hurst and renowned commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme.
This extraordinary piece is personally signed by Hurst, the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final, and Wolstenholme, whose iconic words "They think it’s all over. It is now!" were immortalised during the final whistle of the 1966 World Cup and handwritten by him here. Presented in a sleek black frame with a white mount, this rare and historic memorabilia captures a pivotal moment in English sporting history.
Sir Geoff Hurst is one of the most celebrated figures in football history. On 30 July 1966, during the FIFA World Cup Final, Hurst etched his name into the record books as the first player ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final, leading England to a 4-2 victory over West Germany at Wembley. He remains the only player to achieve this feat. With 24 goals in 49 appearances for England, Hurst’s legacy endures, not only through his World Cup triumph but also his notable club career with West Ham United and subsequent managerial roles.
Kenneth Wolstenholme, an iconic English football commentator, is best known for his famous commentary during the 1966 World Cup Final. His unforgettable words, "They think it’s all over. It is now!" were spoken as Geoff Hurst scored his third and final goal in extra time, sealing England’s victory. Wolstenholme’s voice became synonymous with football’s most cherished moments, and this signed photograph, capturing Hurst in action, represents the essence of that historic final.
This framed presentation is a truly unique and rare piece of sporting memorabilia, commemorating both the remarkable achievement of Hurst’s hat-trick and Wolstenholme’s legendary commentary.
