The title now is of course wrong after 2022's final but that's nitpicking.
The film is mostly centered around the 1966 final - A subject that's been used so many times but Geoff Hurst's career was so much more there is very little footage of any other match that he played in.
There is also a lot of talking heads who honestly add little and wouldn't be missed.
When the story focus on the man it is at it's best like his daughter's passing or having to sign on even then the old school British 'We don't talk about things' is on display. He seems a man of few words.
If your interested in Football you'll enjoy it but don't expect a deep dig into the man & his career.

A mix of New footage and chucked together clips (The Goons from Down Among The Z Men, Elvis from Newsreel) with a terrible script and flat direction from Michael Winner. It's held together by Jack Jackson whom I personally never heard of and with his jokes I think I'm glad.
The reviewer that says the Frankie & Johnny by George 'Calypso' Brown is the only saving grace is right. Though the surprise inclusion is of a brief set of topless women!
Sadly the review wants 600 Characters of me so I'm doing what the makers did...filling the space with acres of rubbish till my running time runs out, Now.

Somewhere in a vault is the original cut of this and I'd love to see it.
The released film is very obviously a re-edited mess.
Jerry Reed was brought in to remake the Gleason as bandit scenes, Sadly at no point does he seem to be the Snowman of the first 2 movies
The plot is really just scenes sown together to fill the run time, massive gaps of logic and story.
Simply a poor film but what was the 1st cut like...Sadly we'll never know.
