World Cup legend Sir Geoff Hurst will be visiting Hexham for his final farewell tour, next week.

The football icon is set to entertain fans at the Queen's Hall on Monday, September 30, at 7.30pm.

Sir Geoff Hurst, known for his remarkable career with West Ham and the England national team, is embarking on a farewell tour, sharing anecdotes from his career, including his time at West Ham United, where he made 499 league and cup appearances and scored 248 goals.

His exploits on the national team, particularly his hat trick in the 1966 World Cup final, catapulted him to global fame, with Kenneth Wolstenholme's famous commentary, "They think it's all over…it is now," becoming an indelible part of sporting history.

The evening will conclude with a Q&A session, offering fans a chance to engage with him.

VIP ticket holders can look forward to an early 6pm arrival for a meet and greet, photo opportunity, and a signed picture, along with the best seats in the house.

Sir Geoff's post-West Ham career included stints at Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, and Telford as a player-manager.

He also had a spell playing in the USA and Kuwait.

His coaching career included being an assistant to the England national team under Ron Greenwood from 1977 to 1982 and a two-year tenure as the manager of Chelsea.

Tickets for the event are priced from £33.50, with VIP tickets available at £66.
