Sir Geoff Hurst born in Ashton Under Lyne still remains to this day the only footballer ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final. Ashton Under Lyne has a statue of a man who used to sell pies in and around the town centre many years ago yet we are yet to acknowledge Sir Geoff Hurst for his achievements and services to English football.

Let's make this happen!
