Hurst was a superb footballer, part of the only England team ever to win a World Cup. More than half a century later he remains a hero. But five years after retiring he was on the dole. He fought back to gain the respect and status he always deserved only to lose his brother to suicide and a daughter to a brain tumour.
This is a life shaped by glory and tragedy, fame and normality.
