World Cup legend Sir Geoff Hurst today joins the quest to recover captain Bobby Moore's missing famous red jersey.The 1966 hat-trick hero has urged 'whoever has the shirt' to give it back to the Moore family.Sir Geoff stepped forward after the Daily Mail revealed how Tina Moore, married to Bobby for 24 years, has launched a dramatic legal action.She lodged papers at the High Court on Friday alleging that Neville Evans, a businessman from Wales, either has the iconic shirt or knows what happened to it.Mr Evans, a tyre firm tycoon, is a well-respected dealer of sporting memorabilia and there is no suggestion that he acquired the shirt illegally. Tina's High Court claim states the 61-year-old tycoon from Aberystwyth 'is, or was, in possession of the red shirt'.The No 6 jersey, worn by Moore as he lifted the World Cup trophy, was last seen decades ago in the attic of the house Tina shared with Bobby in Essex before they divorced. She has no idea how it went missing - but is adamant it belongs to her.It surfaced in 2021 when it was photographed for the Football Association, being in the possession of an unnamed 'private individual', for a book co-authored by Mr Evans, who has strenuously denied 'currently holding' the shirt and has vowed to fight the case in court.Sir Geoff, 84 - the last surviving member of the England World Cup-winning team - told The Mail on Sunday: 'That shirt belongs with the family. I think that's what Mooro would want, and that's what should happen. I don't know what happened to that shirt, but it is more important now than ever. The 1966 hat-trick hero Sir Geoff Hurst has urged whoever has Bobby Moore's shirt to give it back to the Moore family Bobby Moore following England's World Cup victory in 1966. In 2021, Moore's shirt turned up in the hands of a private buyer - who had bought it at a mystery auction'It was the only time we've ever won the World Cup and every England fan cherishes those amazing photos from the day. Whoever has the shirt should help the family get it back.'On Saturday, the Daily Mail examined the riddle of how Tina and daughter Roberta had been looking for the red shirt for years. Then in 2021, they were told by the FA that it had turned up in the hands of a private buyer - who had bought it at a mystery auction.Mr Evans was named as having the shirt in 2024 when a source - said to be a friend or relative - came forward to say they had seen it in his mansion near Aberystwyth in west Wales. Tina's solicitor Andrew Dunn, of Candey, wrote to Mr Evans asking if it was true.Mr Evans did not respond directly but his solicitor sent a reply, yet one that did not address whether or not he had the shirt.Tina's barrister Stephen Hackett wrote in her High Court claim: 'Mr Evans has declined to take the opportunity to explain whether he is in possession of the red shirt... which tends to heighten suspicion.'

Mr Evans issued a statement saying: 'I wish to be categorical in relation to the allegation being made by Tina Moore that I illegitimately acquired Bobby Moore's 1966 World Cup final England red shirt and am currently holding it and preventing its return to Ms Moore.'Firstly, I do not have Bobby Moore's 1966 shirt, and I categorically deny that any of the shirts that I own have been obtained in anything other than an entirely lawful and reputable way.'He said he felt 'hounded and victimised when I have done absolutely nothing wrong'.Tina says her late husband - who died from bowel cancer in 1993 at just 51 - gave her the shirt and all his memorabilia when they divorced in 1986.However, she simply does not know how it went missing from her home in Loughton, Essex. The family used to keep his match shirts in a blue leather bag in their attic, and display his trophies and medals in cabinets downstairs.The bag is thought to have gone missing in the Eighties or Nineties after the couple split up and Mrs Moore began living between her cottage and Miami. The cottage was empty for periods or was used by friends and relatives.A series of mysterious clues as to the whereabouts of the shirt were given to the Moore family by the Football Association after Mr Evans and his two co-authors of a book on England shirts, Three Lions On A Shirt, unearthed fresh details. They claimed to have discovered the whereabouts of the shirt, but did not reveal who had it, saying the buyer did not want to be named.
