I'm as patriotic as the next Englishman and will always cherish my memories and the friendships I made in my playing days

Sir Geoff Hurst

Sir Geoff is the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.

He played alongside legendary figures, among them Moore, Bobby Charlton, Nobby Stiles and Alan Ball.

A blue World Cup 1966 international cap is also under the hammer, as well as 26 other international caps. They will be auctioned at Christie's in September.

Patriotic

Sir Geoff said: "I'm as patriotic as the next Englishman and will always cherish my memories and the friendships I made in my playing days.

"But at this stage in my life, I would rather have some control over the distribution of my medals and trophies and know that my family will benefit."

Triumph: England lift the World Cup

Some proceeds will go to his family and he said: "It was always my intention to leave the entire collection to my children.

"But I have three daughters - how do you fairly divide up this sort of collection?"

The entire collection is locked away after a "significant part" of it was stolen from his home.

Sir Geoff said: "Hopefully some of the memories can be relived by people seeing what you see in the auction."
