Hurst was born in the Lake Hospital Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire but moved with his family to Essex at the age of five.

Hurst settled into international football quickly but as the World Cup approached, it seemed clear that his inclusion in Ramsey's squad of 22 would merely be as a different option to the first choice partnership of Jimmy Greaves and Roger Hunt.
