Hearst: Winning the World Cup in '66 still affects me to this day, and I hope England wins the European Championship

In an interview with Sky Sports, Hearst, the hero of the 1966 World Cup in England, said that the World Cup victory still affects his life today.

Hirst, who scored a hat-trick in the 1966 World Cup final to help England win, said: "Those cynical people would look at me and think I don't want England to win the European Championship or the World Cup, it's complete nonsense. I'm a fan and I want us to do better and win games, that's what I've been a player and I want to do now as a fan. If we can perform well in the game, I will be as happy as the other fans. ”

Hearst then spoke about the experience of winning the World Cup, saying: "The joy of winning the World Cup for your country is eternal, almost every day after winning the championship, and even months and years later, people are still immersed in joy, and when someone mentions it, the memories come pouring out." Surprisingly, what happened at that time still affects my life today. ”

Hearst concluded by praising the Italian team, saying: "I have always believed that team spirit is very important to success, look at the current Italian team, after the success of the whole team, they celebrate together, more than we have seen in other teams, this is the basis of success, unity. ”
