The last Englishman to play in a World Cup winning team is backing the class of '26 to do it all again.Sir Geoff Hurst, 84, believes Thomas Tuchel's side will end 60 years of hurt if we can beat Argentina. And that will mean our first appearance in the final since Sir Geoff's finest hour.The hero of 1966 met with fans from that era who are now living in Hendon Hall, a residential home, at an event organised by Budweiser in London.He told the Mirror: "I do think it is coming home. As a player you have to be positive, you have to have that to achieve what I have in the game. So the answer to "Can we do it?" is yes. It is categorically yes. I have said this for some time."‌Sir Geoff, who scored a hat trick in England's 4-2 win over West Germany in the 1966 final, said: "It would not be a shock if we were to win it. The only shock is that we have not won in 60 years."I think they have a good team spirit. Tuchel talks about the team and that without question is the most important aspect of winning anything in any walk of life, but particularly in football. They have that and I think that is the most fundamental aspect of what we had in 1966."Sir Geoff met fans at Hendon Hall who had vivid memories of 1966. One resident, Peter Laurence, was travelling to France when he heard the winning goal on the radio - and celebrated with Germans in Calais.‌Peter, 83, a retired dentist, joked: "England scored the winner as we got into port in Calais. We jumped up and down like dervishes, got into a local hostelry where we proceeded to get hammered and we met some Germans. We put our arms around each other. It was the German equivalent of entente cordiale."Sir Geoff recalled the tactics used by manager Sir Alf Ramsey, who took his team to Hendon cinema the night before the final, saying: "We can talk for hours about the crazy times I grew up and played in."And he reminisced about a time - which would be unthinkable now - when the team went to the cinema to see hit film of the time 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines' starring Terry-Thomas and Sarah Miles.‌Sir Geoff added: "One of the biggest stories was the night before when we all went to the cinema which was in itself unusual, but the fact that the entire squad of players and staff could walk to the cinema and back without anyone - press or fans - coming near us, and even during the time spent in the cinema, with a break."Can you imagine an England team walking from a hotel to the cinema the night before the World Cup final? Or a match anywhere in the world?"I often talk about the times at England and West Ham, and I look back with amusement, the stories are so funny, it is amazing when you think about it. We are still there and I think we can do it."‌Speaking of the fans from 1966, he added: "I have such great admiration and feeling for those who remember the game and the day. I meet people on a regular basis and see how significant the day was I have met two people from Hendon Hall and it brought home how important that day was for so many people."
