Pub Landlord will be celebrating the French defeat; it really was a loose, loose proposition for him.

Plus Geoff Hurst's hat-trick was the best, because he knew, along with the other 10 players that getting injured, to be replaced by an equally good substitute wasn't an option! Up till 1967 not even one substitute was allowed in any football match, so not only had he to score the goals, but he also had to avoid serious fouls or a pulled hamstring etc. How many subs could they bring on today? I don't know, but I bet it was 5 at least.🤔

What has subs got to do with a hatrick being scored, the sub makes no difference………
