His out-of-sight exit marked the endgame of World War Two.
Germany had offered up one last major offensive on the Western Front through the densely-forested Ardennes region between Belgium and Luxembourg.

But Wembley hat-trick idol Hurst, somewhat tongue-in- cheek, says: “It was a metre over the line! I'll tell FIFA and eve- rybody con- nected with football that. Full stop.”
