Geoffrey Charles Hurst, Kt, MBE (born December 8, 1941 in Ashton-under-Lyne) is a footballer enshrined in the game's history as the only player to have scored a hat-trick in a World Cup final. His three goals came in the 1966 final for England in their 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley. Such an achievement was made all the more remarkable by the fact that he was only five months and eight games into his international career, and was not considered his country's premier centre forward.

I am sure Bobby Moore took a quick free-kick, which Geoff Hurst headed in to make it 1-1. My dad was at all of England's games in that World Cup.

Geoff Hurst - From the Wikipedia entry on the subject.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_World_Cup_1966\n\n"After 12 minutes Helmut Haller had put West Germany ahead, but the score was levelled by Geoff Hurst four minutes later.\n...\nWith the score level at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes, the game went to extra time. In the 98th minute Hurst found himself on the score sheet again; his shot hit the crossbar, bounced down onto the goal line, and then back into play and was controversially deemed to have crossed the line by the linesman and referee. In the last minute, it was Hurst again to easily sprint through the (then almost empty) German half and net his third, just as the gathered crowd invaded the pitch to celebrate with the team, thus cementing the victory for England. This made Geoff Hurst the only player ever to have scored three times in a World Cup Final."

If you are referring to the 'golden goal', it was Laurent Blanc for France at the 1998 WC.\n\nVs Paraguay I believe.

I have heard about that game. That must have been a great game, with the only hat trick. Anyway, Both Sir Geoffrey Charles Hurst and Martin Stanford Peters played for the West Ham United Football Club. Great question man.

I don't understand why you would answer a question if your just going to give a stupid answer. Rooney? Beckham? Terry? Best!!!? The only player around now who could be considered is Shearer but he hasn't won anything. It can only be a player who helped to win us the world cup so I would say Bobby Charlton as he's also Englands top ever goal scorer.
