So an exciting night is in store for Sir Geoff, possibly an historic one for England, but also one tinged with sadness. Sir Geoff, Sir Bobby Charlton, 83, Roger Hunt MBE, 82, and George Cohen MBE, 81. We couldn’t be in a better position, says Sir Geoff, who was a striker for West Ham for many years. Sold to Stoke for £80,000 in 1972, Sir Geoff later went into management. ‘I’ve always been a positive person,’ says Sir Geoff ‘I was a positive player and now I’m a positive fan, but wouldn’t it be a wonderful boost for the nation after the 16 difficult months we’ve all been through during this pandemic?’It surely would, but please can we not tempt fate, Sir Geoff?
